Before I tell you about our new fundraiser, I want to give you a short update.  By next week we will be done with our dossier and we start our home study on Saturday May 5th!  Once the home study is complete and the report finalized, then we can apply with USCIS and then submit our dossier to get on the waiting list.  We need $900 to apply to USCIS and then $7450 to submit our dossier.  If we can raise half of this $8500 we will be able to submit once the paperwork is all done.  Basically we need to raise at least $4000 in the next two months.  Please visit the fundraising section of our blog to see the various ways that you can help with this.  Thanks to everyone who has donated so far.

We recently partnered with 147 million orphans, a website that sells jewelry, bags, apparel, and other items to help adopting families raise money and to support children all over the world who are in need of water, food, medicine, and clothing.  Please visit their site using the link above or clicking here .  We receive 30% of the profits and funds will be sent directly to our adoption agency, America World.  Below  are some of the items that you will find on the website.

Mother's Day is right around the corner and this is a way that you can give mom something special and support a great cause.  Please consider supporting us in this way.  Make sure that all purchases are made through our link!  Happy shopping!
