Happy Adoption Month!!

Yay! It's our month! I personally claim this month for my family, because we wouldn't be here without adoption. FYI- I also claim next month for my family, because it's our famiversary (Our family anniversary). I guess we're a little greedy like that, but the good news is that you can claim months for your family, too. It's okay if it's the same months as us. The months are around for everyone. :)
I'm super excited about adoption month and (spoiler alert!) I plan to pester remind everyone about it on my social networks every day this month. Sort of my own twist on the thankfulness challenge where you put something you are thankful for as your status/update on social media everyday in November. And I am darn thankful for adoption!
Today I posted a link to a blog I read, No Greater Joy Mom. Adeye has posted 51 different links to adoption fundraisers for families currently in the adoption process. A friend of mine couldn't see them initially, so if you have that problem, look for the October 31 OR October 23 posts. 
I've been perusing the fundraisers and families/stories all morning. ALL of them tug on my heart strings. But one was worthy of an uglycry (Yeah, like I actually have control of that. Hmph.).
Amanda Burlington and her family are adopting a son with special needs from Eastern Europe. You really just need to read what she has to say about going to get her son later this month.
Here is the link if you want to read more of her blog or check out their fundraisers. http://justonemore4us.blogspot.com/2012/10/things.html

There are so many thing I am going to miss out on while I am gone. 

My kids.

Black Friday aka waking up to watch the crazies.

Buying a Christmas Tree.

Watching the new Twilight movie.

My kids.

But those things do not compare to what he has missed.

Things Pryce has missed

8 years of hugs

8 years of kisses

8 years of having a mama tuck him in .......2,920 nights.

The joy of fireworks

A family.

$3,015 is all that stands in the way of him getting a family and us being able to afford to come back home. We have a matching grant of $175!!!!!

Donate $1 and it will turn into $2.
It is like magic!
Please help us get our boy home.

"All I really want is my brother."

All he wants is a family.
