Wishin' and Hopin' and Thinkin' and Prayin'

Day 12 approved and waiting for our baby through the miracle of adoption

If you can tell me what song that is, you win!

I have been so touched today as many of our family and friends have been fasting for our birth mother. I don't know who she is yet, but I think about her all the time. I wonder if she knows how much she is already loved by us and by everyone we know? Even if she doesn't know it, I hope she feels it.

On another note, you may have noticed that I added a way to donate to our adoption through PayPal. Any little bit makes a big difference to Malone and I. But please, if you cannot afford it, do not donate money to us. We don't want to put a strain on anyone we love. There are plenty of other ways you can help. However, if you can afford it, know that you are GREATLY appreciated.

We are also going to be holding an adoption fundraising yard sale. We ask that if you live nearby, and you have things you want to get rid of, you donate them to us so that we can sell them. Heck, if you don't live near us and you're feeling really ambitious, you could hold a yard sale for us in your area and donate the proceeds. There are so many ways to help us! Aren't you excited? ;)
