what can a penny do?

$176.94

That is our total right now for our "Change a Life" Fundraiser. We have given out almost all of our bottles. If I give them all away tomorrow, then we will be looking for more this week. We have had such a wonderful response to our request for spare change in bottles for Quinn!

If there is *anything* I could stress to anyone out there, it would be every penny counts in an adoption! Truly!! We can afford to feed Quinn, and dress her, and provide her with gymnastics, or music classes, or whatever she might eventually choose to pursue. But the mountain to climb in bringing her here is HUGE!! Adoption fees are EXPENSIVE.
However.....it is a ONE TIME MOUNTAIN!! We climb it and then we are over it! It is so wonderful to have friends, and family, and community joining with us to bring this little girl into a forever family.
If YOU have chosen to join us in some way to help bring Quinn home....THANK YOU!!

EVERYTHING helps. TRULY!!!! Even the change in bottles adds up :)

 
We have about $15 Thousand to go. That will be the Orphanage fees, the travel fees, and the fees for all of Quinn's documents to get her out of China and into the US (passports, Visa, etc)

 
Pray for QUICK LOA and TA

I'm ready for China, even if it means horrible humidity and Guangzhou in the summer.

What a great explanation of adoption expenses..the mountain climb is a wonderful analogy! I love the Change a Life fundraiser and that so many are sharing the blessings in the journey to Quinn!
Praying for those quick LOA and TA dates!! NaiNai
