Penny Jar Yard Sale... Yes, we are doing another fundraiser, but this time it is here at our house on June 11th and 12th to raise money for our adoption. We are getting soooooo close and need to raise the rest of the funds soon. If you are spring cleaning, please set aside some things to drop off at our house for the yard sale. We will take large or small donated items. Our kids and their friends will be selling baked goods and snow cones also. It will be a fun day and we hope to raise lots of money to get our babies home soon!!!!!! Let us know if you can help in any way! Email me at tonikingsbury@cox.net . Thanks so much for all our faithful Jar Heads!
And now our UPDATE for the month of March is up to $2700! Thanks so much everyone. Our babies already have so many friends and family that love them so much and we are so thankful for all of you! We love all our Jar Heads!!! :)
Hi there -
ReplyDeleteI just happened across your blog (my family and I are also adopting from Ethiopia) and wanted to mention (in case you're not aware of it) that a family from the US was denied their adoption in ET in 2009 because they publicized on their blog that they were fundraising for their adoption. THe theory was that if the family couldn't afford their adoption, then maybe they couldn't afford to raise additional children.
You may be fully aware of this but thought I'd mention it just in case you didn't.
Blessings and all the best in your adoption plans!
