Wow! Thank all of you who sponsored puzzle pieces! We are so humbled by the incredible response to our fundraising efforts. Thank you for everyone who emailed, wrote kind notes, donated and prayed for us. We raised a total of $6535 toward the cost of our adoption! What an amazing group of friends and family we have. We couldn't be more amazed by the generosity people have show to our family. Thank you more than we can express. We are making plans to assist other adoptive families financially in the future. Stay tuned for more information on that in the coming months!

Putting the Pieces Together
We are inviting you to play a part in our adoption story!
In an effort to raise the necessary funds for our domestic adoption, we are having a puzzle fundraiser.
Here's how it works:
We have a 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle and each piece can be sponsored for a small amount (we are suggesting $5-$10 per piece). When a piece is sponsored, we will write the sponsor's name on the back of the puzzle piece. The puzzle isn't complete without you! We will track our progress toward our $5000 goal so you can see the puzzle as it comes together.
Once all of the pieces are sponsored, we will preserve the puzzle with glass on both sides and hang it in our new son/daughter's room. As our child grows, we will read with him/her the names of all the people who sponsored their puzzle. It will be a physical representation of the people who helped us bring our little one home and put the pieces of our family together. Thank you for helping us bring our little one home!
