Great Christmas Gift Idea!

Most people know that adoption is expensive.  However, I don't think they realize how expensive.  When you choose an adoption agency and sign the contract you are given a list of agency fees. These fees alone will cause your head to spin!  When you start to add the little fees into it you soon begin to realize just how expensive it will be.  These little fees such as postage, fees for various documents(like multiple copies of birth certificates), and then to authenticate these documents add up very quickly.  

We have been blessed that God has always provided the money we needed when it has come time to pay for various adoption costs.  It is another sign that this what we are meant to do this and that God directing this journey to parenthood.

We have had yard sales and sold various items around our home that we no longer need/use to help fund our adoption.  We have cut our budget and given up little luxuries in an effort to save money for our adoption. We have been blessed to find a great fundraiser selling coffee.  The link to our coffee fundraiser is on the right side of you screen.  The coffee is sold by a wonderful company with a great mission to help children find loving homes and to help orphans.  We receive $5 for every bag of coffee sold!

So what does this have to do with Christmas gifts.  Well...in an effort to boost our coffee fundraiser sales I have come up with a great gift idea.  So here it is-

To make this lovely gift which would be wonderful for the coffee lover on your Christmas list.   The small carry all caddy is a 31 Gifts product that I placed a nice coffee mug and a bag of coffee from our fundraiser.  31 Gifts has a variety of fall patterns for the carry all caddy and Just Love Coffee has a huge selection of coffee.

  1. Thanks for sharing your blog! We are just about to start our home study process to also adopt from Poland. Have you read about friends of adoption??? I am currently waiting to be matched up with someone. Please read my blog. After reading yours I think maybe we could be a good support for each other possibly. If not there are others waiting to be matched also. http://ourpolishadoption.blogspot.com/2011/11/friends-of-adoption.html Good to you and your husband. I cannot wait to read more of your journey!
