Thank you so much to all who have helped to purchase items in the past to bring Olivia home!!! For anyone new, Olivia came home on May 12, 2012 and has been doing fantastic!! She is such a joy to all who meet her.
Why still fundraising?? God provided for our adoption EVERY step of the way. And after we receive a grant coming later in the year, we will be almost adoption debt free. However, for my last trip to pick her up - I felt the need to be proactive 'just in case' we got a quick call to go and get her - and got a low interest credit card. In which case I believe God said, "OH... you've got that covered. Go with it then!" So that is our only charged amount I still have left to pay back - my/her plane tickets and our travel costs in-country - around $4000. So if you feel led to still order, please do as I still have product in stock and payments to make!
There has been some confusion on how to order, you can...
1) click on the PayPal DONATION button to the right and enter the amount for your order to pay. Under the 'special instructions' section, leave me a comment about what you would like. PayPal gives me your address and we are good to go!

A donation of $2-4 for shipping is appreciated but not required. Please remember we live on the East Coast so to ship something past the Mississippi usually cost me around $4-$6 so if we could split the difference, that would be great. Otherwise my profit on a ornament, necklace, etc would be zip.
