Fundraiser Sunday - Please Help

One of the hardest parts of the initial stages of adoption is the fundraising. If you've had to fundraise you get that. We have not had huge amounts of success thus far with any of our fundraisers. Some of them have been pretty cool too. 

Our newest fundraiser is this Sunday from 2-4 pm. If you are local and would like to come PLEASE let me know. I'd love to have you! If you aren't local you can still help. Check out this website: www.brandimendenhall.noondaycollection.com. 

Orders can be placed online. You just need to be sure to note Wojcik Adoption Fundraiser with your order. 

This stuff is beautiful!!! There is jewelry, hats, bags, sandals, etc. I love that Noonday helps people in poverty AND wants to help spread awareness about Orphans! It is truly an amazing company. I'm so excited to have found it. 

Please consider joining us Sunday. If you love the stuff as much as I do and are able to order that would be awesome! Any prayers you can spare for our fundraising would be greatly appreciated. We are getting closer and closer o having our dossier sent to Eastern Europe. We are just waiting on ONE form. 

Thank you so much for all of your support!

Wii U Giveaway

First I want to thank my very good friend Kristin for donating this! I hope Michael wasn't too upset when you delivered the news that you were donating this to us so that we could use it to raise funds for our adoption. Sorry Michael :(

Your Mom is amazing!!!

I've given this giveaway a great deal of thought. My hope is of course that we get a lot of donations towards this adoption. International adoption is quite expensive and we could us all the help we can get! We are going to do this giveaway more or less the same way we did our ipad mini giveaway. Donations can be made to our FSP through Reece's Rainbow. Donations made to our FSP are tax deductible. If for some reason you would prefer to send it through paypal directly to us you are more than welcome to do so. Keep in mind that way is NOT tax deductible. Whichever you prefer is great.

$1000 = 500

Where We Are...An Update

Well it seems that I am quite the slacker. I want to say that I did a MUCH better job blogging when we were in the process to adopt Milana. I suppose I could look back, but I'm just going to go with the thought that I did a better job blogging. It makes me feel better - whether it is true or not.

This time around - I don't know - it seems that life is just BUSY! I'm sure you can relate. There is just always something to do, somewhere to be, dinner to make, laundry to wash, etc. I don't know. I guess it was all there before. Who knows? Maybe we didn't eat. Seriously...we did. I guess I just stayed up super late to be sure to update my blog.

Anyway...here is where we are. We had our USCIS appointment on Thursday and had our last set of fingerprints taken. Now we just wait for our Golden Ticket. The USCIS gives us our approval to adopt...or not. Let's just pray for an approval! Once we have this last form we will have everything we need to complete our dossier. It will then be sent to our children's country where they will do a whole lot of work over there so that we can be invited to their country to meet our children. Wow! It seems like we are getting closer, but yet we are still so far away :(

This means that we have a lot of fundraising to do and fast! I'm hoping to have our next fundraiser going by the end of the day. That means that I will need to blog a second time in one day. We shall see if I can make that happen.

Please consider keeping us in your thoughts and prayers as we continue to try to raise funds to bring our children home. If you feel you are able to make a donation or want to share our link it is:

Thank you!!!

Hope to get the details of the next fundraiser shortly!

Ramble Much?

Last night after we tucked Milana into bed and settled down to watch tv with the girls we heard a strange sound. At first we thought it was Nix whimpering, but he was sitting nearby and was fine. It took a minute to realize it was Milana crying. We ran into her room to find her still half asleep and crying.

It nearly broke my heart as my mind wandered. I started to wonder about all the times she may have woken up crying during the night with no one to hold her. With no one to tell her everything was going to be alright.

I can't begin to explain how grateful I am that she is home with us. How grateful I am that she has come into our lives. People think that these children are a burden. I assure you this little one is nothing of the sort. Does she try my patience? Absolutely! But she has done more for me than I can ever do for her. She is my baby!

She will always have a Mommy and Daddy and sisters who love her. A family who will be there for her when she wakes up crying in the night. She will never have to wake up sad and alone.

Pretty soon she will be a big sister. (Can you imagine)? Wow...Mila, a big sister?? I know she will be a great big sister to her little brother and sister. Just like her big sisters have been amazing to her. She is eager to get them home. We all are. I can't stand the thought of them alone. The thought of them crying in the night. No child should be without someone to love them.

Look at how much my sweet girl has grown in the 2 years and 7 1/2 months she has been home! Thank you to all who helped us bring her home and to all who are helping to bring our new littles home. Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!!

Love :)
