As Doug and I get further along in the adoption process, the checks we are writing are getting larger and larger. We saved up for several months beforehand and are currently budgeting carefully and putting everything we save into the adoption. To help offset some of the cost, we have starting bouncing around fundraising options. Luckily there are other adoption blogs out there full of time-tested fundraising ideas that many adoptive families have utilized. As most of our friends and family are not in Maryland, we will be relying on fundraisers that can be done mostly online. Hopefully we can organize one or two of these in the next couple of months.
Please let us know what you think, if you have any other ideas, or if you would like to help with a particular fundraiser!
Bracelet Sale
The Apparent Project - Items are handmade by Haitians as a means of providing for their families. Half of the cost goes to the person who made the bracelet, half to our adoption.
