Pieces to our puzzle!

The pieces are coming together to bring our kids home!  We are going to fundraise this time around.  We fully funded Potato Bugs adoption and are almost there with these two as well!  Adopting two at one time though has proved to be a financial challenge and we're hoping we can provide some meaningful opportunities for our friends and family to help us along!

Here's what we got in the works!!  Our first fundraiser is a puzzle.  We will have a puzzle for each child and are hoping you will feel led to sponsor them by buying a piece to help bring them home!  This will also be a wonderful keepsake for our kids!  For every puzzle piece you buy we will write your name on the back of the puzzle.  As we sell pieces we will assemble the puzzle.  Once it's complete we will frame it between two pieces of clear glass so the kids can see who was a piece in the puzzle bringing them home!  I chose a moment in our adoption that has a lot of meaning to us.  This moment hasn't happened for our kiddos yet so Potato Bug's picture will be a stand it until their  moment is documented and made into a puzzle upon their return. Also it will be extra special for Scholar to assemble his own puzzle when he gets home.  

So here is how it works:

1.  Comment or message me that you would like to buy a piece.

2.  Cost is $20 a piece.  However that will put your name on all 3 puzzles.  We didn't do this for PB and think it would be a great memento for him as well.  He will know that he has a great group of family and friends embracing him as well.

3.  You can either mail us a check (we will PM the address to you) or you can make a payment on Paypal.  My username/email is heidifidanque@gmail.com  

4.  Click on the Paypal link below to go directly to their site.  From there you can send in a donation if you wish to sponsor a piece.

Our goal is to sell all 312 pieces!  This would be huge for us!  Up until now we have paid all of our agency fees, Dossier fees, USCIS fees, and medical review fees (this one was big this time around.)  The funds for the puzzle will be used to pay the required orphanage donation fee which is $5700 per child.  Last month I wrote a letter to Scholars orphanage requesting a waiver or fee reduction.  We were so graciously granted a reduction and his fee has been reduced to $800!!  This doesn't happen often so we are very grateful!  

We can't wait to see this puzzle come together!!!  I will post pictures of the puzzle as it's being completed!  Now to just find a good puzzle making spot that won't fall victim to Boom Boom!!!

We're coming Scholar and Hoot!!

It's a start!!  We got 17 pieces sponsored!  Super appreciative and grateful for the support!  My biggest fear with this fundraiser is losing a piece!  I have a very touchy 4 year old helping!
