Someone donated to our FSP! An FSP (for those not familiar) is a fundraising account; a Family Sponsorship Page on Reece's Rainbow where our friends and family can donate to our adoption AND be able to claim the donation on their taxes:) Pretty awesome to be able to help a family grow and get a little tax benefit too!
Adoption is expensive! Totally worth it but expensive. We have been working really hard to make this happen so when we see a leap, no matter how much in our FSP their is cause to celebrate. Not only is someone helping to lighten our load, but they are also becoming part of our story and more importantly part of our children's story! You will never know how much your donation means to us. Knowing that someone else gave up a McDonald's meal or a Starbuck's or two for US is an amazing feeling:)
So whoever you are THANK YOU!!! Every donation encourages us to keep going when it feels like it is impossible. Knowing we are not in this alone and that we have a whole army out there rooting for us is what makes us get up each day and fill out the next form or plan the next fundraiser, go through the house one more time to see if there is anything worth selling that could put us a little bit closer to our goal. Knowing YOU are out there praying, giving, sending good vibes, etc is what keeps us focused on our ultimate goal; getting our babies, or kiddos, or in our case FOUR DESERVING TEENAGERS HOME where they belong instead of waiting for the day they age out of wherever they have been calling home and are sent off to an even worse (if you can try to imagine) fate than they have already known.
So on behalf of our family here on this side of the world but especially for our family waiting on the other side of the world THANK YOU for every dollar and every prayer said on our behalf!
