366 Days....

When you look back on a year, it's amazing how much can happen in that span of time. Since we officially applied last summer to our agency, a lot of things have happened.....

*Another school year has passed
*Another year of work for Jared has passed
*We have fostered 5 dogs
*We lost Micky
*We gained Dexter
*Shannyn taught school virtually & survived to tell the tale
*We gained a nephew
*Our home saw improvements
*Our yards got a face lift
*We are living during a pandemic
*We have officially been waiting one year.


1 year
366 days (Thank you Leap Year)
8,784 hours
527,040 minutes
31,622,400 seconds
have passed, and not with out prayer, hopes and dreams. 

Did you know that the average family waits for 2 years before they are matched and welcome a child into their lives? So, being the realistic people that we are, while also holding onto to hope that our phones will ring any minute, we are settling into more waiting. 

While we settle into this, we want to ask you to join our journey with us! We got the idea from a friend, and thought that it was wonderful! 

We have purchased 2 puzzles....collies and goldens seemed very fitting. 




We are looking for your help to build these 2 puzzles! We are looking for people to join us in prayer & to join the journey financially if you feel called. There is nothing more difficult or humbling than asking for help from others. 

If you would like to join us spiritually through prayer, please fill out the Google Form, and we will place your name on the back of a Golden Retriever puzzle piece.  


If you would like to join the journey financially, at any amount, we will place your name on the back of  Collie puzzle piece.  

You can donate through our GoFundMe page: https://www.gofundme.com/f/baby-brinker
PayPal: jones.shannyn89@gmail.com
Venmo--Shannyn-Jones

Once we have filled all the pieces and they are built, they will get put in a double sided frame and hung in the nursery. Then we will be able to show this sweet child all of the people who prayed for them and joined their parents in this journey to them becoming a part of the family. 

Thank you in advance for your love & support!
