Huebner Family Fundraiser
To start off with, this is long so in prelude I apologize.
I know this is way out of left field and most people would think this is a scam. My wife, class of '03, and me, A-Batt BQ class of '99, have been licensed foster parents in the state of Texas since October of 2012. We had 2 placements since we have been foster parents. The first child was only with us for 2 weeks and then placed with the maternal grandmother. The second placement was placed with us for over a year, had his legal rights terminated, and then CPS placed the foster child with the maternal aunt even after the court appointed attorney wanted him to stay with us. Even with all the heart ache that CPS and how unfortunately broken the system is, my wife and I would not take away one minute of the time that our foster children were in our lives and the immense joy they brought to our family and loved ones. God blessed us with two first wonderful children who we still love to this day
My wife and I are unable, at this time, to conceive children. We have gone through IVF and all of that.
Its funny how God works. My wife and I both, before meeting each other and still being single, wanted to adopt a child. We are both Christians but don't beat people over the head with a Bible about it. Both my wife and I believe that when Jesus healed the leapers and said, "What you did for the least of these, you also did for me.", that it was a calling to all Christians to seek out ways to help those that are less fortunate. Well everywhere we look when we wanted a child it kept coming back to, "Ummm, guys y'all both wanted to adopt before you were married and I put you together for a reason. I know y'all are Aggies but come on already!".
So after being with a private agency for over 2 years we've decided to switch gears, still sticking with what we feel is God's plan for our family in adoption, but going with open infant adoption through Catholic Charities. Catholic Charities is exactly what their name means it is a charity. This is the last stop that all women, if they so choose, have before having to give their child up to CPS which typically is not a great alternative. Plus, it is a truly selfless act for any woman to be brave enough, no matter what the circumstances, to say, "I will have this baby and God will find a way to provide for my child and me!". Well Catholic Charities is that kind of organization. 100% of the fees my wife have to pay, if they don't go towards the mother and babies needs, go back to the organization so they can keep their doors open. The reason we would need 100% of the funds available immediately is because there is a desperate need at Catholic Charities and ZERO waiting families in front of my wife and I. In other words, as soon as we turn in our application, pay for our training, and pay for the home study, we would probably need to pay 100% of the fees all at one time.
So here's my rally cry from our Aggie family out to all of our Aggie Sisters and Brothers on this board. My wife and I have a good portion of the proceeds procured. Its the last little bit that we need help with. We came up with a website to where you can donate directly towards our goal of adopting a child or children, don't worry the fees are the same even if the mom has twins, and having our forever Aggie family. Our promise, in return, is that the only option for a school this child/children will have is at Texas A&M University. Even if you cannot donate monetarily if you could please keep us in your thoughts and prayers we would greatly appreciate it. All of you, whether we know you by name, will all be in our family's prayers, thoughts, and gratitude forever no matter if you feel the Holy Spirit has moved you to donate or not. Please do not feel obligated to donate in any way shape of form. However, as I've already said, if the Holy Spirit or kindness of your heart moves you to donate with generosity, our forever family would greatly appreciate it.

I sincerely apologize for writing the non-abridged version of war and peace. Moderators and staff if this is not kosher I sincerely apologize but I can assure you this is 100% legit and no scam. After all, Aggies don't lie, cheat, or steal, and do not tolerate those who do. Thank you all in advance for your kindness and God Bless all of our Aggie community!
