We're Moving On Up!!!

No, not to the east side, to the Far East.  We just got word today that our dossier (paperwork) has been forwarded for translation and submission to the Taiwanese government.  Things are moving forward and we are really excited about all that is taking place.  In fact, if wait times remain consistent for referral, our baby could already have been conceived and his/her birth mother may or may not even be aware she is pregnant.  We pray that she will be responsible and make the best decisions for the baby!

Things are moving well on the fundraising front as well.  Our fundraising team, Team Taiwan, is so supportive and such a blessing to us.  We currently have three major fundraisers in the works right now.  First, we are having a huge yard sale September 30^th – October 1^st.  Second, we are having an auction and dinner on November 5^th.  Finally, we are building a puzzle and selling pieces for $10 each.  Below are some of the details for each of these events.

Yard Sale

We need any spare stuff that you’d be willing to donate, in fact, we’ll even come get it if you want.  We are open to just about anything from knickknacks to furniture.  There will also be a drop-off time scheduled for Friday and Saturday September 23^rd and 24^th.   Check back in a few days for some times and places.

Auction

That’s right -- a dinner and auction complete with an auctioneer!  We are in need of some really great items here.  Mrs. Glenda Jones is heading this up for us and we are so thankful for her leadership and service to our family.

Our Puzzle

The puzzle is more than a theme for our blog and adoption journey.  We are actually building a puzzle and asking folks to sponsor us by buying a piece of the puzzle for $10.  Anyone purchasing a puzzle piece will be allowed to sign the back of their piece of the puzzle (you can always purchase multiple pieces and then use them to write a special message too).  If you live out of town, we'll put your name on your piece(s).  After all the puzzle pieces are sold, we are going to have the puzzle double framed and hung in the baby’s room as a reminder of the fact that this baby is a result of the partnership of so many different people.

If you want to help or participate with any of these fundraisers please let us know!  Or if you’d prefer feel free to use the Donate Now button at the bottom of the page.

Thanks for checking in!!!!
