One Final Fundraiser

We are almost there :) !!!!! This should be the month we travel to China to bring our precious daughter home. I say should, because if there is one thing I have learnt from adoption and that is things never seem to happen quite how you expect them to. None the less we are pretty confident the time is getting close, just typing that brings tears of joy to my eyes, I can NOT wait to hold my baby girl.

As all of you know that have been following our journey to Lily adoption is very expensive. Can we afford to raise another child? Yes we can. Did we have the $30,000 sitting in the bank that we have needed to bring her home when we started this journey? NO. Is she worth every penny, and all the sacrifices? Yes she is. The reality is we would not be able to do this if it was not for the amazing generosity, love and support of family, friends and even strangers. You are not all able to adopt, but by helping us you have played a major part in saving Lily's life, and for that we are so grateful. My heart aches for all the motherless and fatherless children in this world, how I wish they could all know the love of a parent - I know I can not save them all, but I know without a doubt Lily is ours, our family will not be complete until she is in it.

Travel to China, and travel in China this time of year is crazy expensive, we had hoped to use air miles, but that is not going to work so .........
