After a long hiatus of any active fundraising, we held a "Bake Sale Adoption Fundraiser" this past weekend. I love to bake from scratch so we set up a Facebook event page and invited all of our local friends to order homemade honey wheat bread, cinnamon rolls and caramel pecan rolls. Yes,we taunted our friends with pictures of delicious treats. Hey, anything for the baby, right!?! ;-)
Ya'll, this fundraiser far surpassed my expectations! God really blessed our efforts. We ended up selling 30 (yes. THIRTY.) pans of sweet rolls-- 19 cinnamon and 11 caramel pecan. PLUS 9 loaves of bread. So exciting!
This was stretched out over 2 days and I cranked out pan after pan of rolls. The second day I really got into a groove and it went even faster than the first day.
To date, we have raised well over half of our adoption costs. We continue praying and saving, doing some fundraising, gratefully and humbly accepting donations and praying and saving some more. We are so excited that we are starting to see the end in sight! It has been our {crazy} goal to have a debt-free adoption and it's starting to look like more of a reality.
We continue to wait to be matched with a birth mother and are excited to see how that will play out. Thanks so much for your prayers and support!
