Helping Others Adopt

Adoption isn't for everyone.... and that's ok.  If everyone had the same passions, a lot of things would go undone on this earth.  We need people in missions, taking care of animals/running shelters, helping battered/abused women, and the list goes on (and on and on and on ;)).  Adoption may not be your passion (or maybe it is), but you can still make a HUGE difference in paving the way to help others adopt.  If you do not personally feel called to adopt, but still want to help, there are so many families fundraising that can use your financial assistance.  Here are a few of those families:

The Helf Family

 

The Jensen Family

 

And there are SO many more (more that I personally know of as well but can't find links for ATM so I will be back with more ;)).

A garage sale/ money update :)

Here's a little update on our garage sale and overall adoption funds :).  Granted, this price does not include getting 4 of us to and 5 of us home from India or private lawyer fees, or what we paid for our classes or to Oasis for our homestudy, but it's the biggest bulk of it.


First off....

We made another $280 today, so our grand total from our garage sale this weekend was just over $1,000!!  WOW!!!!  I am so in awe!

22,000 adoption fees to Wacap/Orphanage
-100.00 donation
- 1,000 garage sale
-8,000 tax return from '10 taxes
= $12,900 to go!

I know that seems like a lot,  plus we'll probably need about that again for travel and lawyer fees, but, considering our homestudies aren't done yet, we have only had one fundraiser, and we're still quite a way out from being able to bring our daughter home, I think it is AMAZING!  God has really blessed our venture thus far, and I know he will continue to.  Thank you for all of your garage sale donations and, as always, your prayers!!
