Current Wishlist/Prayer list

The items we need at this time are:
Two Safe egress Windows for our basement bedroom area so that we have room for the children God is sending our way! (Going to cost around $1600 with us doing most of the labor! This is the major catch in the process right now, we can't go any further in the application process until we have these installed!)  This is an example of what those look like when they are installed(maaaybe not quite this fancy!LOL!)



A convertible crib that can be made into a toddler bed(because we cannot know for sure whom God will send our way first!) We cannot be licensed for the different ages unless we are prepared to take either one at a moments notice! (Must NOT have a drop down side, the state won't allow it!)


A dresser/changing table (very helpful to have it be a changer, too)


A car seat that goes from infant to toddler(Gently used is fine), but still has the base that can stay in the car for easy entrance and exit with a sleeping little one!...like this one...it goes from 5-32 pounds rear facing!

A swing would be helpful...but, probably not absolutely necessary


Gently used girl clothing from Newborn to 2T. 


Baby toys


A baby wrap like "Moby Wrap"


Very light blankets for swaddling infants...drug addicted infants have to suffer through the symptoms of withdrawal...and will often over heat, on the other hand, swaddling is often the only thing that will provide comfort to their over sensitized systems.   


Here is an example of the kind of blankets we need...They certainly do NOT need to be brand new, or fancy...even blankets made with 100% cottom muslin with no color are fine...we will need a lot of these, as these infants require almost constant swaddling for the first month or so until the worst of the withdrawal process is over...

Hmmm...that's all I can think of right now...We have a crib set (comforter, lamp, sheets, diaper stacker, etc.) and now the Rocking Chair. 


Although, we could certainly make use of a second rocking chair if someone has one they would like to donate....one upstairs and one downstairs in the nursery would be perfect! (But, certainly not essential.)


Thanks for looking! And, especially, thanks for keeping us in your prayers! We are working on training in how to care for infants who are addicted and continuing with the process for the adoption home study in the mean time!
