Hoping To Adopt

There is a couple I blog stalk and so far they are unable to have children.
I will, of course, leave out their names for the sake of their privacy.

My heart goes out to them.

These are two of the cutest people. I love to read about them. They're interesting and funny and fun. They deserve a family, just like so many others out there who want kids.

I don't know if adoption is an option for them, but I hope they have or will consider it at some point, because they would certainly be wonderful parents.

I realize that adopting can be expensive, and that's why a lot of the couples who adopt are in their late 20's to late 30's before kids come into their lives.

I was wondering...has anyone come up with a way to raise the money for adoption? Some kind of "fundraiser" if you will? I'm curious...I've had ideas flying through my head but I don't know if any of them are possibilities. Or if this is do-able? Or if it would be tacky?

Please Please Please, if you read this post, comment. I need your ideas!

  1. I think depending on how you go upon it, I don't think it is tacky. That is just my opinion. I would help with a fundraiser for that,with as much as I could, being in the position I am in, and seeing what my sister in law has gone through as well!

    Also a few people I know did yard sales to raise money.

  3. mrs. r uses the money from 'the r house couture' to fund her adoptions. :-) I think it's brilliant.

  5. We went to a Garage Sell a couple weeks ago. People donated tons of stuff and then all the money they made went to help pay for a couple to adopt! How are you bytheway! Lets get together soon! ; )
