Fundraising update...we received $100 from the Skate Night at Sumner Skate Zone that was sponsored by Support Adoption Foundation. Thank you for everyone that came out on Feb. 23rd!!! Today, we sold a donated item to our adoption for $20.
Feb. 9th, we had a Thirty-one party through catalog orders and at our home...as an adoption fundraiser. The party brought in $1,449 in sales and was a huge success!! We are still waiting to see how much was raised toward our adoption fund.
Our next fundraiser is starting in two weeks. We will be selling Yankee Candles for our adoption fund! The fundraiser will run until the first week of April. This will be a catalog fundraiser...the catalog has scratch and sniff tabs! These Yankee Candles are the perfect Mother's Day gift. Orders will arrive the first week of May...perfect timing for Mother's Day! Our adoption fund receives 40% of each product price!
Mark April 10th on your calendars! It will be our "Giving Back" Night at Chili's in Hendersonville. Bring your family and friends and Chili's will donate 10% of your meal/drink purchases to our adoption agency (Living Hope Adoption Agency) to assist in our International Adoption Fees to bring our Melanie home from China!
Where we are in our adoption process:
1. We have just completed additional adoption trainings requried by our adoption agency.
2. Once our social worker receives the training certificates, she will finalize our home study.
3. Next step....lots of paperwork...completing our Dossier and applying for adoption grants!
Prayer Requests:
1. Please pray for Melanie. She may be born at this time. Please pray for her birthmother and that if she is born that she is safe, for her health, and those that take care of her.
2. Please pray for adoption funds to continue to be provided.
3. Pray for our adoption process to go smoothly...home study finalization, dossier process, and grant application approval.
Thank you for supporting us through your prayers and participating in our fundraisers.
