A Little Bling and Flapjacks

Went to church today, I love my RCC peeps, and many were asking how much money has been raised and how much is still needed for the adoption. 


Recently, a friend from church, Lori Stone, put on an AMAZING jewelry party for me and Rhonda Wicks helped put together a Pancake Breakfast! Both of these events together raised close to three thousand dollars. :) I also need to mention a sweet man by the name of Tom Davis. He is the owner of the Captain D's in Spring Hill, TN. He did not know me at all and yet he provided all of the food for free for the Pancake Breakfast. Talk about the kindness of a stranger. What amazed me the most is that he expected nothing in return. Mr. Davis, your kindness will never be forgotten.


I've decided to view this financial journey as a staircase with twenty steps. Three of the steps are already behind me and there are seventeen steps to go. 


I will admit it angers me that adoption costs so much. I understand that people at agencies need to be paid for their work and that there's A LOT of red tape to work through, it's just frustrating that money stands in the way of a child being home in their mother's arms where they belong.


So even though the staircase seems steep, I will keep taking one step at a time to bring my little one home. I'm writing these blog entries so that one day I can pass them along to my child. I want her to know I'm already in love with her and that God already has a plan for her life. 


I've had a couple of e-mails asking how they can help if they couldn't make it to the fundraisers. If you would like to make a contribution towards the adoption, you can visit staceyohara.chipin.com there is no (www.) in the chipin address.

Waiting for the next step...
