Pushing to the finish line !

So remember last week when I shared that we are around $12,500 from being fully funded ? Well this week I would like to share our fundraisers and where we are in the process.

Once we got home Little Mans government began working on our paper work, you know just about a million documents of our life :) Eventually our file will make its way to the hands of the Prime Minister who will review it and give us his approval. We wont exactly know when that happens, but when it does it means we are one HUGE step closer ! Then we will receive our Article 16 which is for our government, basically saying that they both agree we can adopt Owen.

Then a few short weeks later we will be invited to bring Owen home ! Our best guess right now because of government shut downs for the holidays is that we will be invited to bring him home around March 2016.

We have this puzzle fundraiser : For a donation of at least $5 I will put your name, or the name of your choice on the back of a puzzle piece. Once you have sponsored a piece and the whole thing is put together it will hang in our sweet boys room with your name on the back so that he can see everyone that helped bring him home ! Owen is in an orphanage nestled in the foot hills of Mount Ararat. This is the place where the Bible says the Ark rested on after the flood, which is why we want the puzzle to be Noahs Ark!

We have 983 pieces left to the puzzle!  If we can get the remaining puzzle pieces sponsored for at least $5 each we will be $4915 closer to our goal!

We also have our Visa Give away board. The way this one works is you pick a number without a start on it between 1-100. The number you choose correlates into the donation made to our FSP. Every number 1-100 gets us this much closer to Owen. The drawing for the gift card will be given when all numbers are sold OR at the end of the adoption- whichever comes first.

If you would like to sponsor a piece or buy a number please donate the amount to our FSP and send a copy of the receipt to my email : ashtonymcbride@yahoo.com This way I know who has donated.



 We need $12500 to be fully funded. This puzzle will give us $4915 and the visa gift card board will give us $4995 for a total of $9,910. We would be so close to fully funded with just these two fundraisers!














We also still have the blankets, and ornaments and paintings we can do.
