I have known parents who did everything from hosting events to running marathons. I had a Tupperware party and the sales person who was a good friend, allowed me to keep all of the profits.

are good resources.
I've known people who sent out newsletters to friends and community members, telling their story and asking for financial support. Some have organized a community benefit concerts and an auctions of donated arts and crafts. One couple I met hosted a community spaghetti dinner with bingo and a raffle. Through such creative fundraising events and a great deal of dedication and hard work, they were all able to make their dreams come true.
I think you can too.
Welcome! This is a place to share our adoption stories with one another--wherever we are in the process. Because if there's one thing I've learned is adoption is called a process for a reason, one that doesn't stop just because you are united with your child. To contribute your story and have it possibly included in my book, IMMEDIATE FAMILY: THE ADOPTION OPTION visit my website, www.juliemsellers.com or email julie@juliemsellers.com for more information!
