Blog Fundraising

I have several friends who are adopting and currently have fundraisers going on via their blogs. I thought I 'd take a minute to post those blogs and encourage my readers to consider donating to one or more of these friends. Adoption is not cheap. It costs a birth family the opportunity to parent a child. It costs an adoptive child the freedom from nagging questions like why and what if. It costs adoptive families time, and energy, and money. But despite the cost, families choose to believe that those losses will be redeemed as a child is nurtured and provided for in a uniquely complex way based on the simple concept of love. Anyway, hop on over to these blogs and consider how you might encourage a family through your gift.


Terry is doing an afghan raffle. $5 tickets for a chance to win a beautiful afghan.


Kathy, Christina, Tracy and Dawn all have donation buttons on their blogs. (If I've left anyone who I usually read out, let me know. I thought I got everyone who had a button or special event going on.)

Thank you so much for doing that!! We haven't raised a single dollar at this point so it's depressing. We have a house for sale out of state (been for sale for 19 months) and now it has a MAJOR mold problem costing more than $10,000!!!!! SO, now we are super in need of raising some money! :) THanks so much!!!! Maybe your blog entry will do the trick! :)
