We would greatly appreciate it if you would help make Felix AN ORPHAN NO MORE by purchasing a t-shirt and/or hoodie. If you feel so moved, please click on this link here {www.bonfirefunds.com/team-barnett-adoption-2014} and then click on the GREEN "Buy a Shirt" tab. From there, just follow the steps. Please note that your purchase(s) will be shipped directly to you about 14 business days after 2/27 if the 50 shirt minimum is sold.
If you aren't able to purchase a shirt, no worries at all! But, would you please consider telling others about our t-shirt fundraiser?? Would you share our story & let others know how they could purchase a t-shirt?? We would greatly appreciate it if the word gets out there so that we can get these t-shirts sold! Thank you!!
A lot of thought, reflection, and care went into the t-shirt/hoodie design. For several days, I thought about what I wanted the t-shirts to say & I played around with several ideas and designs. It was important to me that the shirts had these 4 things:
1. Info about Reece's Rainbow Down Syndrome Adoption Grant Foundation
2. A Bible verse reflecting the heart of being An Orphan No More
3. Felix's birth country (which is also Maclayne's, Teague's & Trenton's)
4. My blog address because I try to dedicate a large portion of the posts to Down syndrome & orphan/adoption awareness
Most importantly, I wanted to glorify God in this design and I sincerely pray that He will be. The first submission I made that included the Reece's Rainbow banner was rejected by Bonfire Funds because there were too many colors & graphics. I was pretty disappointed because the design was absolutely beautiful and captured RR perfectly. So, I did the next best thing and removed the banner and used one of the RR campaign quotes in its place. In the end, this is what I designed/created to be printed on blue t-shirts/hoodies:
It is also important to note that the t-shirt purchases must be made through Bonfire Funds from now until 2/27. We ARE NOT selling them personally ~ our fundraiser is being handled by & is strictly through Bonfire Funds. If you would like to purchase a t-shirt, but are not able to do so before 2/27, please leave a comment below with a way to get in touch with you personally. We will try to work something out, but I cannot guarantee anything at this point (sorry!).
Once again, thank you for supporting us as we answer our call from God to make Felix An Orphan No More by becoming his forever family!! We are both humbled and blessed that you would choose to join us on our family's journey. Words cannot adequately express how grateful we are. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you for loving our son & seeing the true potential that God has blessed him with ~ the potential that can be reached through amazing love.

Now I leave you with these beautiful words of love written by the Apostle Paul ~ The Love Chapter ~ found in the New Testament. I hope you see the truth and beauty in them. May God bless you as you allow love to reign supreme in your life.
1 Corinthians 13
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
The Excellence of Love
13 If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.
4 Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, 5 does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, 6 does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part; 10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away. 11 When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things. 12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known. 13 But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the [f]greatest of these is love.
