Investing In The Lives of An Amazing Couple

22 posted on September 22, 2008

POSTED IN: Social Justice

Steven Bush (or Bush as he’s affectionately known) is one of those guys I know I would totally get along with if we were to hang out in person. For now I only know him through his blog, his music and his trademark beard. This guy’s the real deal.

Bush and his wife have been in the process of adoption for the last year or so. Anyone who has adopted a child or knows someone who has knows how long and expensive this process is. Bush and Maris are on the home stretch right now. They’ve raised money and applied for all the necessary loans and grants but they’re still about $4,000 short and their last deadline is next Thursday.

Please take a minute and consider helping in one of the following ways:

1. Buy A Print

Bush is an awesome photographer and has made 12 of his best prints available for purchase for $35 each. When you buy a print the proceeds will help this amazing couple become a family.

2. Donate Online

If you can’t buy a print (or if you want to give directly to their adoption fund) click here to donate via PayPal. Every little bit helps.

3. Tell Someone

Consider posting this on your blog or emailing the link to a friend. Let’s not be selfish and keep others from participating in this awesome event!

So many of us have been blessed with children yet there are so many couples like Steven and Maris who have been waiting a long time to provide a loving home to a child who doesn’t have one. If God has blessed you consider sharing some of your blessings with them.

    Adoption is definitely worth the money…I have many cousins who are adopted, both from the Philippines and from China.

    Kelly and I probably won’t have another kid the old fashioned way (she’s already pitching the snip-snap to me), and adoption is on our radar. I have to say, the money is so intimidating. Why is it so darn expensive!?!

    I love my family more than anything but I still struggle to keep my passions and priorities in order. I’m passionate about the Church, its influence on culture, and making it better.
