Welcome to Our Adoption Fundraiser!

We feel so blessed that God has called us to adopt two children. (You can read our adoption story in the right column.) We get the joy of double the smiles, double the laughter and double the excitement. However, along with that, we also get double the adoption expenses!

We are stepping out and asking for help with these mounting adoption costs. We want to provide the opportunity for those who feel led to come alongside us during this journey. So without further ado... Here are the details of our fundraiser!

FUNDRAISER DETAILS
For every $10 you donate, I will enter your name into a drawing to win a "thank you gift."
($10= 1 entry, $20= 2 entries, etc.)

You can donate by clicking the "donate" button on the right side of the page. If you choose to donate this way, please send me an email to confirm that it went through.

You can also mail a check. Please email me at Darci1984@gmail.com if you need our mailing address.

If you have already donated, do not worry! I am keeping track to ensure everyone is entered appropriately!

I will draw names and the first person will pick what gift they would like, the second one will choose their gift and so on. If you are donating and do not think that I have your contact information, please email it to me at Darci1984@gmail.com.

The drawing will happen on AUGUST 1, 2012
