So to raise money for the adoption, one of the things we’re going to do is hold a yard sale. Paul said I can sell what I want (Yay!!) so the baby boy clothes and all the baby stuff is going.
We told the agency we want a girl under 2, but are a little flexible, so I’m pretty sure we’ll get a baby that’s not quite a baby anymore 🙂
It’s going to be in May. We’re going to talk to friends to see if they have anything they want to get rid of…they can donate it to our sale. So far we have a friend donating a couch, and 2 others said they have stuff for us. This way we’re helping people get rid of things they don’t want anymore, and we’re getting help without asking for money…it’s a win-win!
It’s very exciting to see it all beginning to fall into place!
You’re adopting a kid? Congratulations!!! That’s awesome! My grandmother was huge on supporting kids from a distance as well as taking them in and making them part of the family. I think at one point she had 5 or 6 kids, and she was 60+ at the time. I don’t know how she did it, but she found it very rewarding.
Seems I have some catching up to do with you!

Wow, I’m not sure I’ve got quite that much energy, but yeah, it is (will be) very rewarding.
I’m definitely behind on my blogging! I had no idea you were adopting! If I lived closer I’d be happy to donate to your adoption yard sale. Good luck, I hope things come together quickly for you.
