1 week left


 
This is what I woke up to this morning.  My beautiful daughter enjoying some fruit with her foster family and friends!!!  
 
It got me all worked up again and worried.  Worried that we aren't going to get all of our paperwork done in time and if we do, how are we going to pay the last $7000.00 we owe??
 
I am here to beg you for your help.  Our fundraiser will continue for one more week.  If you are at all possible could you please donate any extra money you have.  We have a Kindle, that was donated to us, as well as over $650.00 in gift cards.  We are so close and Elizabeth is so close to aging out.  We only have until December 1st to get to her, before she is no longer able to be adopted. 
 
Our adoption agency believe we will travel on November 7th, as long as we have all of our funds.  Please, Please, I am begging you, share this blog, pray, and donate what you can.  We will forever be Thankful.
 
To be fully funded our FSP must read: $13,600.00

5/5/5

 
 
We have been chosen as a 5/5/5 family for the month of October. 
Don't know what 5/5/5 is???
 
Check out this blog: 
 
 
She does an amazing job explaining it all.  You will be helping the following families bring home their beautiful children.
 
 

Meet the Averett family.

The Averett family recently adopted an amazing little boy with Down Syndrome that they found on Reece’s Rainbow (Percy on RR) and are now adding to lifes adventure by adopting Leandra and Andy. They always knew th...ey wanted a large family. They are an active family and have many passions and hobbies and do everything together. Their youngest son with Down Syndrome has lightened their lives and has brought more happiness and laughter to the family than they ever could have imagined. After finding and donating to Leandras Angel Tree Grant they knew that she too belonged in their family and they started another adoption journey.

The Lee Family.

We are the Lee Family adopting 2 children from China! We can not wait to bring our newest daughter (9yrs) and son(5yrs) home to join our already adventurous family! We are in the beginning stages of o...ur LOA wait, but excited that this is our last longest wait. You always hear it takes a Village and starting the adoption journey proves that theory right! Please join in our families village to bring our children home!

We are a family of 7 waiting on number 8. Elizabeth is 13 1/2 years old and will age out on Dec.1, 2014. This will be our second adoption from China, but first teenager. We are looking forward to this new adventure and are currently waiting on our LOA. We are currently decorating her room, deciding on her American name and trying to patiently wait for her to get here.

WE ARE ??????

 
 
 
 
DTC
Dossier to China!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
This is so amazing to be able to type those 3 letters.  There have been so many obstacles thrown at us, but we prayed, kept pushing forward, believed that God would fulfill His promise, because after all He sent us on this journey and He did!  I will be even happier when I know it is safely in China.
 
 
 
Now on to our bigger challenge.  We currently need our FSP to read $22,449.00 for us to be fully funded and it only reads $5,449.49.  Elizabeth ages out in 78 DAYS, yes I said ONLY 78 DAYS!  We have some wonderful friends, family and Facebook pals whom have come together to help us meet, what seems like an enormous and impossible goal.
 
 
 
Today we are starting a fundraiser and for every $5.00 donated you will receive the following:

$5.00--1 chance

$10.00--2 chances

$15.00--3 chances

$20.00--5 chances

$50.00--15 chances

$100.00--30 chances

 You can also earn a FREE ticket by sharing on your Facebook page, Twitter or Pintrest pages. 



You can either of the buttons on the top right to donate.  Please be aware that the first button the donations are not tax deductible.  To get a tax break, please use the Family Sponsor Page through Reece's Rainbow.  All I ask is that you comment below with your name, how much you donated or
where you shared and I will award you your tickets. Ending is Friday, October at midnight, CST.   Winners will be announced on Sunday, October 5th.


What you could be taking home but more importantly whom your helping bring to her new family:
