ADOPTION YARD and BAKE SALE
Friday August 14th 2009
and
Saturday August 15th
7:00am - 12pm
We are having our first Yard and Bake Sale AND it will benefit the cost of our next adoption!
Beginning in October when Evan turns 1, we will be eligable to apply again for adoption through our agency. We are so excited and will appreciate your prayers that we could be chosen within 2 years hopefully. (we like to be specific. he he he). Our agency requires the money saved before your application process is completed. Agency and private adoptions in the U.S. can cost between $5,000 and $40,000 depending on a variety of factors including services provided, travel expenses, birthmother expenses, requirements in the state and other factors. While we have some savings, as we learned with Evan's Adoption, more is needed.
We will be asking for and accepting item donations for us to sell in our sale. So please go through your house and think of us before you throw out your old stuff. Any volunteers are welcomed also ;)! lol. (remember, I've never done this before. Yes Katrina, I know you would help if you lived here and wish you did!). If you are interested in donating, we will be collecting them on Wednesday, August 12, 2009 and you can email us at www.lilaandmichael@yahoo.com, also if you want directions.
We would love if anyone wants to donate homemade baked goods too. ;) There will also be bottled water for sale and possibly a lemonade stand! cute!
