I have to say that I have always known I had wonderful friends, but their response to my request for help raising funds for adoption has been amazing! A few friends have agreed to sell raffle tickets for an afghan I made, others are planning to purchase items we are making, some are donating items they are making to our craft sale, and others have agreed to sit with me during the two days of said sale!
I am even more amazed by the generosity of those who do not know me personally! The attorney in town who agreed to work out a payment plan with us has got to be the kindest man on the planet! I found an article about a woman in Eastern Illinois who has done fundraising for her own adoption which included her number. She not only accepted a call from a complete stranger, but actually talked to me for nearly an hour about fundraising, what to do, etc.
Add all this to the amazing girl who did not shy away today when I asked to touch her belly. I felt the baby move, and I was overjoyed. Correction…I felt OUR baby move, and I was overjoyed beyond belief.
In January, I’m finally going to be a Mom! My cup runneth over!
