So most of you guys know that we are basically raising money to get to the point in the process to send our Dossier off to Ethiopia. After we send the Dossier off, we expect a 6-9 month wait before we have a referral (information on the child we have been matched with). At this point, we are trying to raise about $5000 to be able to send our Dossier off.
How do we plan on raising the funds? First, we did the McAllister's Fundraiser last week. To those of you who came out to support the effort...THANK YOU! We were truly blessed to spend the evening with you guys. We had no intention of staying the whole time but we had so much fun fellowshipping with everyone that we lost track of time and hung out longer than we planned. Secondly we are doing our ONE:27 Summer Run on July 28 at Longlead Trace in Hattiesburg. You can sponsor the 5K, run in the event or just come hang out. For more information holler at Shorty Bean (Christen) by emailing her: Christenbean@gmail.com. If you are considering adoption this would be awesome for you because there will be tons of information on adoption for you to check out. Lastly we are taking preorders for our Tshirts. The first shirt is our "Ethiopia" shirt and the second is our "Love the Orphan" shirt.
You can purchase a shirt via the link on the right of the page. Make sure you select the right shirt and select the right size. Both of these designs are for full front and will have our blog address on the back just below the collar in small text. Once you order and pay for your shirt, we will let you know when they will ship. We need to get a significant preorder before we do our first batch.
Again, we are humbled and blessed by you guys. You can also support our adoption by donating via the donate link, buying Mary Kay Cosmetics from Christen or getting me to come speak at your church or event (any honorariums go toward the adoption). Thank you guys again for being a blessing.
