We are having the little one's medical history and videos reviewed by an adoption specialist (at no small cost) to see if this one is a good fit for us. But when I saw those pictures, how could I say no. So cute, such a sweet little one.
Now we need to figure out how we will pay for it all. We could travel in a few months. Any suggestions? I was thinking of a restaurant fundraiser and a raffle, but any input would be appreciated.
We are torn, we don't want to let this little one go, but we're not sure if we can pull it off with this accelerated time line.
We were in a similar spot when we found our son in Armenia after we had put so much money into Bulgaria already, but we knew he was ours and we had to find a way. We just saved A LOT in our daily budget and were able to make it work.
ReplyDeleteYard sales can bring in nice money. You can also check into grants for special needs adoptions. Your agency might be able to advise you where to start with that. How about a bake sale or spaghetti dinner and silent auction at your church (if you have one)?
Good luck, this is so exciting!
What an amazing turn of events!
ReplyDeleteWhat were your other fundraising ideas? Trying to think over here...
Any news about your decision regarding this little one? Been checking your blog for an update...
ReplyDeleteunfortunately another family placed a hold on him before we had a chance. At least the little one will be going somewhere good by Christmas.
