At the end of November we started our first fundraiser for the adoption! Not counting our Go Fund Me page, of course. I have spent a bit of time reading up on different fundraising ideas to help with the cost. There were suggestion from pancake breakfasts to a 5k race or a big yard sale. It's pretty overwhelming to try to figure out which ideas will work the best for us.
Daniel and I decided on doing a baby bottle fundraiser. We bought inexpensive baby bottles from the dollar store and decorated them with ribbon and a label telling about our adoption. Family and friends have taken these empty baby bottles to fill with their spare change. People have taken them home to use as well as to their workplace. All the pennies, nickels, dimes, etc will definitely add up and help us financially.
So far we have handed out about 20 baby bottles to be filled. We are hoping to have them all returned to us by the beginning of February. If you would like a bottle, please comment here or message me and I will get you one as soon as possible!
As for an update on our process: we are still completing paperwork and getting background checks done. Once all of this is approved, we will begin our home study. Please continue to pray for us on this journey!
