Taking Pre-Orders for Our Book NOW!

MY BOOK IS AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDERS!!!!!!

A few FAQ’s for our book:

Why Now?

We didn’t do this on purpose, but God’s timing is perfect. When we were considering fundraising for our adoption, we couldn’t feel peace about selling shirts, or raffles, or garage sales. Over the past 3 years people had helped us financially and we felt terrible needing to ask for help once again.

We felt God prompting us to share our story in  a way that would help fund our adoption. A way we could give something to you in return for your help. Well, he has given us speaking opportunities where we have been able to put money in our adoption account, as well as donations, and now our first book! Our book is a way of telling our story! It is cool that God prompted us to tell our story in order to raise funds for our baby-we had no clue that this book would be a big part of this.

Why Are You Taking Pre-Orders?

It is estimated that our books will be printed at the end of February/beginning of March. Most of our adoption expenses will be due before our baby is born. She is due March 22nd (7 1/2 weeks!!!!). Our birth mom’s last child was born 2 weeks early, so we are feeling the crunch of getting funds together to be ready to pay the attorney, maternity fees, out of state fees, paperwork fees, travel fees etc. This entire adoption is estimated to cost between 35-40K. Ouch, right? I know. We know God will provide. So far, we have about $3,500 saved up from donations and speaking events.

It would be too late to pay a bulk of our adoption expenses if we waited until they were printed, hence the pre-order. We are sorry it will be a month (give or take) until you get your copy, but please know that you are helping us incredibly by pre-ordering. I have completed writing the book and now it is in editor’s hands. The editing should be completed shortly.

What Specifically is This Book About?

This book is strictly from my (Aly’s) perspective. I share pieces of my journey that I was too scared to share on the blog at the time. I try to give readers an inside look into the deep, dark spaces as well as the beautiful miraculous parts of my journey. Although I share much of my cancer journey, this book focuses moreso on my journey to becoming a mom. Several chapters are specifically designated to our infertility battle, as I share some candid thoughts, emotions, and revelations that happened during our journey to have a baby. I also tell in detail about our adoption process.

My hope is that it can reach everyone. You don’t have to be going through cancer and infertility to glean from this book. It is all about life and the struggles we go through. And our Jesus that carries us through this world that brings us troubles. Cancer and infertility just happen to be two big ones of mine.

How Do I Make An Order?

You can make an order by going to our website: alysfight.com. You can pay via paypal and every major credit card is accepted. Your book(s) will be shipped to you as soon as they become available.

What if I Want to Just Donate or Donate and Buy a Book?

We have had several people say that they may not want a book (we’re sending them one anyway!), but they want to help bring our baby home. You can donate by going to the same link above and instead of checking the book option, you would put the amount you want to donate in the donate section. You just put in the amount you want to donate, and you can pay there via paypal. It also has an option if you want to buy a book as well as donate extra. The books are $15 a copy.

We are beyond humbled to have people interested in hearing more of my story. I am just an ordinary girl whom God has used in an amazing way. I never thought that I would be writing a book! After all, I don’t even like to write. But it has been amazing putting my thoughts and emotions on paper. It is scary how vulnerable I’ve been. But I have found that when I am the most vulnerable, the most people are touched, encouraged, changed.

We will keep you updated on the copies we have sold, the money we have raised, and of course on our baby girl. We head to Florida this weekend for an ultrasound. I have been dreaming of this. Literally. I keep waking up in the middle of the night dreaming of seeing that beautiful girl!

Thank you for supporting us and our story. And bringing home our baby!!!
