The auction was an overwhelming success!

Thanks to everyone’s generosity, we were able to raise over $3,000 towards our adoption fund!!!!  We are absolutely blown away!  I had no idea how this would go, and it definitely exceeded our expectations.

I sincerely thank each and every one of you for the support you have provided Chris and I.  Thank you for being willing to support us financially, and thank you for spreading the word about our auction.  Thank you to everyone who donated items, everyone who participated in the bidding, and those who made monetary donations.

This adoption has definitely been a humbling experience for us.  We are definitely learning that we can’t do this alone.  There is no way we could go through all of this without the support of our friends and family

And thank you for supporting us with your prayers and your good thoughts.  We love you all for asking us about the process and being as excited as we are about this adoption :).

We are very blessed!
