Money, Money, Money

Well friends, we are getting closer!  After crunching some numbers tonight it looks like we only need around $8,000 to be FULLY FUNDED to adopt Miah.  Thank you to all of you who have given to our adoption fund and who have prayed over our adoption finances.  God has blessed us.  Craig and I are currently working on ways to cut the budget some and save some more money.  We also should have a tax refund coming next year that will help offset some of the adoption costs.  God is most definitely taking care of our finances.

But can I remind you?  International adoption is EXPENSIVE, y'all!  :)

If you would like to financially help us bring Miah home, we have a few ways you can support us.

1) Donate to our adoption fund via the PayPal link on the right of your screen.  PayPal is a secure way to give and any money given through that link will go directly into our adoption account.

2) Buy a necklace.  I have 8 necklaces ready for local delivery.  They are also available online.  They are $35 and we make $17 off of each necklace.  And they're GORGEOUS.  Click HERE to see them.

3) Donate frequent flier miles to help cover the cost of travel to Eastern Europe.  Craig and I both have to take two trips and Miah will need a ticket to come home.  Plane tickets alone will cost us around $1k each round trip.  Ouch!

4)  Buy an Owl.  $27 of every $40 owl purchase goes into our adoption fund.  I will go ahead and give you a heads up that because these owls are so popular there is about a one month wait from the date of order to delivery.

And there you have it!  We're hoping to take another hit to the adoption account this week.  If we can get these clearances back we will be able to finish the home study and send off our I800A application...and a long with that a nice hefty check.  :)
