Our First Posting and Our VERY First Fundraiser!!!

Can anyone tell we are nervous? We have never truly had a blog before about our adoption journey, let alone have we ever done a fundraiser. But first a bit about us...
We are a family that was formed May 2003 with the adoption of our baby boy from Azerbaijan. He truly is the light of our lives!
Our son is a special needs child that was referred to us as a non-special needs referral. We have cried many, many tears but now realize that God does work in mysterious ways. He does not give us what we can't handle. There is a reason that we were chosen to be his parents. Unfortunately, we don't know this reason but we must trust in God's wisdom.
We have always wanted a sibling for our son, whether it be biological or thru the blessing of another adoption. Our son is now five years old, I know I often wonder how he got this big! We adopted him as a baby, at the tender age of 10.5 months old.
As you know the cost of International Adoption is incredibly expensive! We are asking for help from family and friends. We are having a fundraiser to raise money so that we may meet the costs of our 2nd Adoption Journey. Donations are always welcome, whether it may be $1.00 0r $100.00. However, we are not asking for "free money", we are raffling off items. We are asking all those who want to participate to donate $5.00 for a chance at two gift certificates, one is a $25.00 gift certificate from Barnes & Noble, the other is also $25.00 gift certificate from Toys R Us.
Please help us bring home our child and win some cool prizes too. This will be one of several raffles that we have planned.
Thank-You for reading our blog and finding out about us. If for some reason you can not help us financially, please send prayers and good thoughts our way.
