We Need Your Help!!!

Friends and family we need your help!!  We are trying to fundraise to help with the costs of our second adoption.  As we said recently we have our home study and family profiles complete.  So far we have sent them out to 5 different adoption agencies.  We have already been presented a couple of times to two different situtations.  As of now we are still in the waiting phase.  Our family has not been matched as of yet, so we are in full throttle trying to fundraise.  We know that once we are matched we will be required to pay fees due for the adoption really quickly.  As you can see on the side bar of our blog, we are now an Amazon Associate.  When you click on the side bar it will bring you to Amazon.com.  If you make a purchase using our link, we will get a small percentage of the sale for our adoption!!!!  You can buy anything on Amazon and we will get credit for it as long as you go through our link!!!  If you have any questions please let us know.  You must go through our link for us to get credit for it!!!  As everyone knows Mother's Day is coming up.  What better way to buy a gift for your Mom, and also to help me become a Mom again!!   Please also keep our family in your prayers, as we wait patiently to see how the Lord works in bringing another child into our forever home!! 
Blessings.... Thanks for stopping by.....  Julie

One Step Closer....

Yes we are one step closer to being a mommy and daddy again.  Today we received our family profiles that we will send off to our adoption agencies.  We also received the rough draft of our home study.  We made the final corrections and sent it back to our social worker.  She will then send us the finished home study report.  We will send this report along with our family profiles.  We will also we able to apply for adoption grants that we so desperately need.  We are brainstorming on ways to fund raise for this adoption.  On our first adoption I had wrote a cookbook that we sold with great success.  We have been cleaning out the house and selling everything that we no longer need.  We still have about 30 copies of the cookbook that we are selling for $10.00 each if anyone is interested.  We are getting ready to have a yard sale very soon also.  We are starting to gather items to have a online auction too.  If anyone has anything new or gently used that they would like to donate please let us know.  We pray that we will have the funds that we will need once we get matched.  These funds will be needed very quickly.  If you would like to donate to our adoption you can donate through Paypal, or you can send it to us.  Any donation, even $5 or $10 will go along ways to help us bring our child home.  Thanks for stopping by..... More news soon!!!
