Hey my lovely readers! Today 5ohBaby and I are hanging out in our pajamas, making faces at the camera, and just relaxing after our whirlwind 2 weeks with my mom and my mother in law. I'm teaching 5ohBaby all the important cell phone pic poses and I think she's nailing every.single.one. But I wanted to share this space to support a lovely family hoping to bring their child home. Carina is so sweet and has designed a necklace in order to raise funds for their adoption. She has already made a little progress but is hoping for a little more. I'll let her tell you her in her own words...
Hello! I'm Carina and I blog over at a punk, a pumpkin and a peanut.
I am mama to three little rascals, lover of vintage and coffee and chocolate, among other things.
For the last year, my husband and I have been waiting to adopt our fourth baby.
We have two biological boys, and one adopted, and feel so excited to be adding to the sweet chaos that is our every day.
Two weeks ago we got the call that we'd been chosen to adopt a baby girl due this August.
And we are over the moon.
We know that God is already writing our love story with this little peach
and His hand is so evident in the details.
You can read more about all of that here.
The reality of adoption is that it takes a serious chunk of change to make it happen.
Like $25,000 when all is said and done.
We've saved and saved and had a little pancake breakfast to get the ball rolling,
but we are still well away from that number.
We are not ones to ask for something without offering something in return,
mostly because it makes us feel weird.
I've been making jewelry for my little etsy shop for the last few months and
after a lot of thought, I decided to design a few adoption necklaces to help make up some of the difference.
I am dreaming big here: my goal is to sell 100. My dream is 200.
300 would knock our socks off and put a serious dent in that total.
Would you consider helping us out?
Spread the word and buy a necklace (or two)...
you'll be helping us bring our baby home, supporting adoption
and you'll even get something pretty in return!
And please come follow along on this super exciting journey -
it's sure to be an adventure!

ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet. Thanks for letting us know about this great fundraiser. I so wish adoption wasn't so expensive. It hurts my heart to think of all the good that could come from more children being adopted.
