FUNDRAISING OUR ADOPTION

As you all know, the costs of adoption seems to be getting higher and higher. Just this month we were informed by our agency that we'd have to travel to Ethiopia to be present for our court date. Do we get to see our child ??? are we going to have notice or will we be preparing to pack our bags and leave at anytime??? Because of the increasing fee's and general adoption costs we have started a few fundraising campaigns to better prepare ourselves. Firstly we opened a store through Just Love Coffee. What an amazing organization, not only are they helping to fund our adoption, its supporting the farmers through their Fair Trade coffee and helping orphans in great need. The other campaign we organized is the collection of used ink and toner cartridges. Not only will we raise money but we're also helping the planet by the reuse and recycle of millions of cartridges that end up in land fills every year. If anyone has any other ideas on how we could put a little money away let us know. Every little bit counts!
