I'm with you Kristin. It is so worth it. I can't wait to hold Sophia in my arms and tell how loved she is. <3
ReplyDeleteHi Megan, I have a few ideas on fundraisers for you that might help get your neighborhood and youth groups involved. I was going to email them to you but realized you don't have a place that shows on email. If you would like for me to send them you can email me at homeschoolingmy3sons@gmail.com You can also visit my blog at http://makingmanymemories.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI have not adopted from Reeces but did adopt from the foster care system.
I think what you are doing is wonderful.
3 yrs ago we adopted three children from West Africa. I did a blog post about all the ways we got money to fund the adoption. Please look under the Best Of tab on my blog, for a post titled Money, Money, Money.
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll find some ideas there.
Blessings on your walk of faith!
