Fundraising is about to get real

We are currently in one of the many waiting phases of our adoption, specifically for our LOA or “Letter Seeking Confirmation from Adopter.”  This will be our official chance to tell the Chinese government YES! to our son.  The time varies for this process, and we are currently on day 42 (yes, I am counting!).  Our dossier has now been translated and reviewed, it will then be “matched” then we will receive our LOA.  Once we receive our LOA, we will travel in 8-12 weeks to get our son!  Until then, we are trying to accomplish as much as possible, other than counting the days.

We’re currently waiting for step #8

With all of the waiting, now is a perfect time to kick our fundraising into high gear.  We are pretty much doing everything at once, and will be working hard over the next 2 months or so until we travel. I wanted to take some time to share all of the fundraisers we plan to do.  We do not expect everyone to participate in every fundraiser, rather, we want to give lots of options for you to be involved if you want!

  • Dessert and Coffee bar and craft show – February 20th – Enjoy some desserts and coffee for $5 while you shop.  We will have a variety of fun home accessories and furniture to buy.
  • Plunder – Vintage inspired jewelry (available at craft show)
  • Just Love Coffee (Available at craft show)
  • KEEP Collective
  • T-shirt through Fund the Nations
  • Lifesong – direct give matching grant (donations will be tax deductible)

Here is a sneak peak of our t-shirt fundraiser – we will have a few other options for styles of shirts.
