Adding Adelyn: Our Final Adoption Fundraiser

Photobucket


Most of you know what led us to make the decision to do one last fundraiser.

So this is it!

If you feel led to support our adoption financially this will be your final opportunity to do so.

This is scary...but we are trusting Him!

And He has shown up big time already in the generosity of those who have donated items for this fundraiser!

Items totaling over $3000 in value!

And now that we are on a MUCH faster track to bringing our little girl home, your support is needed more than ever!

Without further ado...

ADDING ADELYN: OUR ADOPTION FUNDRAISER!

$10 - 1 entry

$25 - 5 entries

$50 - 20 entries

Please make your donation using the blue chip-in on our right sidebar at the top of the page. If the chip-in is not working, please go here and click the yellow "donate" button.

  11. Merry, merry Christmas, Brooke. I am leaving it up to you to figure out how many donations I have made and how often I have shared on facebook -- I have lost track (my prerogative -- I am old!!!) The donation is my gift to your daughter; I am hoping to win something that will make a nice gift for one of my children, since I am just about out of money. Go with God, my friend.
