During the girls dance I talked with another mom that is a big time cheerleader and has remarkable faith that gave me the whipping in to shape I needed. I needed to get off my pity party and get to work.
The month of April we are going to work super hard. So far this is what we've come up with....
1. a huge yard sale-already got some big donations (thanks mom)
2. Sale on craigslist and amazon of old photography supplies and mom's big items.
3. We are thinking we might do an ipad drawing (maybe....still researching)
4. possible flip camera drawing (maybe....still researching)
4. Heather offered to sew some of her neat things (still working on this too-she called it sewing for our sweetie!) cute uh!
5. donations spot on my blog
6. still looking for more ideas-any more suggestions...pass them on!
While we raise we will work super hard to finish all american adoption paperwork and go active in the middle of May. Even though we did all our stuff for our foster care adoption the home study is the only thing we can keep from that so it's almost like starting over!

I wish I was there to help with the yard sale...I have tons I could donate! Good Luck my friend! You can do this!!!! My machine is ready, just let me know :) Love ya!
Gretchen,
I think it is WONDERFUL that you are following the spirit so closely in this adoption process and doing whatever it takes to make it work. You are right that the Lord will qualify you by doing your part.
How wonderful to have a friend inspire you with all these ideas. Good job getting your Paypal button up already!!
