We were only a few hundred dollars away from having our adoption funded a few months ago and then when we least expected it I got in an accident that did quite a bit of damage to our vehicle. 2 weeks later we received the call to pick up Jonathan. Our car was in the body shop for over a month...So a big chunk of our tax return that was going to get us within $400 of our total fees instead had to go to a rental car, insurance deductible, defensive driving school and travel expenses to get Jonathan. Ugh! Another lesson in not being in control and trusting the Lord. We are still hoping for a grant to come through but may not know for a while.
That said we, our placement meeting is scheduled for June 17th in Phoenix at which time our remaining balance is due. We still need to come up with about $3000. Our fundraiser through Cookie Lee Jewlery is still going and you can support our adoption by shopping online at http://www.cookielee.biz/esuite/home/donnachamblee just make sure to enter "EMILY REYNOLDS" as the hostess when you check out.
Also we are offering our adoption T-Shirts in size S-XXX. They are $25 each which includes shipping and can be pre-ordered before June 1st. The shirts are an ultra blend 50/50. To order click on the "Donate" button on the right side of this page and send us an email (thereynoldsfamily6@frontier.com) with the number of shirts and sizes you would like.
Please feel free to pass this on to friends as we now have a ways to go. Thank you for your support!!!
