We are excited to begin our first fundraiser! The costs of adoption are astronomical, in order for us to adopt and not go into a great amount of debt, we decided that we would need to fundraise for a portion of our adoption. Our adoption will cost us around 30,000 dollars. We are hoping to fundraise at least half that cost. The amount seems insurmountable right now, but we know that anything is possible with God.
For our first fundraiser, we bought a puzzle. It has 1,000 pieces and is of a Mommy elephant and her baby! For each ten dollar donation we receive we will add your name to the back of a puzzle piece. You can buy one piece, or five pieces or more! When we complete filling in every piece we will put the puzzle in a floating frame and hang it in the nursery. As the baby grows, he or she will be able to look at the puzzle and see how many people loved and supported them through the adoption. If we sell every piece we will have 10,000 dollars towards our adoption and be 2/3 of the way to our fundraising goal. This will be an ongoing fundraiser. We thank you so much for your love and support for our baby and we look forward to meeting our new little one.
