My best friend Mandy and her husband Drew are in the process of adopting a special needs baby from China. They are in the paper process as we speak. In May they will be having a silent auction in Alabama to raise money to bring their baby home. I am asking, praying, hoping that I can gather some donations for their auction.
If you sell something like Pampered Chef, Thirtyone, Premier Designs, etc. and are willing to donate to this wonderful cause, please let me know! If you make stuff like glass, wood stuff, sewing, and are willing to donate, I would be so appreciative! If you live in Alabama (she is near Birmingham) and have a hair salon, massage place, photography, restaurant and can donate something like this, please let me know!
You may be asking yourself, why do people adopt if they don't have the money? The honest answer is that no one would adopt if they only thought about money. No one really has the money to do it. When we are talking 30-60 grand, it isn't just saving up a couple paychecks. But the kids still deserve a home. God still puts a call on some of our lives. So we do it the best we can because the Lord tells us to do it. We fundraise, we go into debt and pay it later, we sell our stuff at garage sales, we have silent auctions, etc. Is it ideal? No it isn't. But it is the way adoption works for most people who step out and do it. So if it is in your heart to help and you are able, I am asking for stuff! Also, prayers are very much needed for this fundraiser. And I thank you, and the Golightly family also thanks you!!
If you are interested in a donation of any sort, here is my email........
