Final Adoption Fundraiser! :)

Dear Friends,
Thank you so much for your love and support through our adoption journey to Bailey. We are hoping to have some paperwork arriving soon that will indicate approximately when we will be traveling to bring her home. This journey has been twice as long as the one to Brinley but we are nearing the end and will soon begin another chapter in life as our family welcomes Bailey home. We can't wait! :)
Many of you have asked how you can help us. Well, we are coming down to the final days of having the necessary funds to complete the adoption and we could really use some help. We are not asking anyone to pay for our tickets or lodging or paperwork. Instead, we are raising the funds for the Orphanage Fee. Everyone who adopts a child from China must pay a $3,000 Orphanage Fee. This money goes to the orphanage and it helps to care for the children who will remain in the orphanage. Many of them will be adopted someday but unfortunately many of them will not. If we should happen to raise more than the $3,000 we will still be using this money for the orphanage. We will buy any supplies for the orphanage that we can while we are in China. We would love to buy a ton of things that are truly needed for the care of the children! :)
On the right side of this blog you will see a small red square with the words "The Guilin Orphanage" at the top. If you would like to make a donation, you can just click on the "ChipIn" button and you will be taken to a secure area for making your donation.
If you can't contribute or don't feel inclined to contribute we would ask that you please pray for all of the children who want and need families of their own. There are so many!

Thank you so very much for your friendship and for loving our children,
In Him,
Sharon

I just wanted to say hello and wish you well on your journey to bring your daughter home. Our twins are from Guangxi(Lai bin) as well and oh so healthy. We could not be happier. We finally have the family we always wanted. Good luck to you.
