So many people have been asking about our upcoming adoption, and the fundraisers we are planning, that we thought starting a new blog would be a great way to keep everyone updated.
A wonderful, kind, and very mature teenager has asked us to adopt her baby, and we are thrilled beyond belief. We have been trying for 10 years now to be parents, and we were almost ready to give up hope when we were introduced to the little miracle we plan to bring home in late January.
Okay…I’m going to be completely honest here. Hubby and I don’t exactly have the money to pay for this adoption because we exhausted our savings on fertility treatments, maxed a credit card on a previously failed adoption, and exhausted our loan possibilities on our adoption agency that is (gasp!) not handling this adoption.
Our wonderful, generous, kind friends have given us a million suggestions and offers to help, and we could not be more grateful to them for all they are doing. In October, we will be selling items at a craft fair and all the proceeds will be used to fund our adoption. When the time draws near, I will be posting pictures and taking orders for handmade items that include Christmas ornaments, dishtowels, hot pads, and coffee koozies. I might even be talked into making a few scarves and hats.
To ask what comes next really and truly humbles us because we have prided ourselves on always being able to take care of ourselves. But here we are, literally at the end of our journey, and our sources of instant income have run dry. In addition to all our crafting efforts, we have also set up a donation spot on PayPal. If you can, please send a donation our way to help bring our baby home. And if you can’t donate, please send prayers our way!
