Fundraisers

Unfortunately insurance doesn't cover adoption like it does most pregnancies. This is OUR path for building our family!! Could you imagine if everyone had to fork out this amount of money every time they gave birth? Not too many people we know , including us, have this kind of money sitting in their savings accounts. We are more than willing to WORK for the funds!! ;) This past summer, we had an AWESOME garage sale which people donated their unwanted items. We worked VERY VERY hard (and so did many of our wonderful friends) and raised $4,500!! That was a very successful fundraiser!! ;) We actually had to make our first major payment to our agency just a week later!! Just another sign that God is with us during this process. We have a ways to go so we will continue on with our fundraising efforts.

If anyone is considering participating in one or more of our fundraisers, please understand that you are helping place another child a loving home, not just helping us financially.

Below are our current fundraisers. Check back often for updates. We also have another garage sale this summer so start putting those unwanted items aside if you wish! Thanks!!
