That's right, people! The living simple, spending less, pinching pennies, acting frugal and thinking creatively has officially kicked off…well, what's new right?
The strange reality of what we have taken on (with God's help) has set in.
Our path seems overwhelming…rather, the "price tag" (if you choose to look at it that way) seems overwhelming, especially now that our adoption plan has evolved. We are on our way to adopting from both China AND S. Korea. Sounds like I need another cup of the good stuff now...
So, let's talk money, Suze Orman or Dave Ramsey-style…We are frantically brainstorming creative fund-raising ideas, and would appreciate ANY ideas YOU might have to offer!
One of the first resources I found online was "Just Love Coffee Roasters", a fantastic organization that was started by an adopting family to fund their own adoption and which later evolved into a larger ministry to support other adopting families. It is such a creative concept – if you are coffee drinkers or know of someone who is, please pass along OUR WEBSITE. A portion of EVERY purchase will go directly to help cover our adoption costs and THAT, my friends, is what I call a WIN-WIN.
