Family and Friends,
As you know, we are in the process of adopting a child(ren) from Ethiopia. At this point we are in the home study process, which we expect will be finished later this spring. After that, we complete more paperwork, wait for our referral, meet our child(ren) and come home. In the meantime, we are saving and raising money to cover the costs of the adoption (social worker, agency, court, paperwork, travel, etc). The total cost will be around $30,000 and we will need all the help we can get! We hope you can participate in our March Madness fundraiser. Maybe you’ll even win some money!
