LuLu's been down with a cold and fever for the last week so this was later than I wanted. But we got to shop yesterday for MeiMei's birthday and mailed her package today! It was very hard not to be with LuLu on her first birthday and it's harder still with "Mary", not knowing how soon we can get there, and so many obstacles still to overcome. I am so grateful to those who've shown
us their commitment to help us bring her home! My trust is being stretched once again, as when I can't see an end, it's hard to keep walking the path. The package will likely arrive after her Birthday, on Sunday. We will celebrate as a family with Cupcakes, LuLu's choice. And also by having our final Home visit with the social worker. Then it's on to waiting for his report to apply to immigration ($830).
Hoping that tax returns will arrive as stated, as we have put a hefty fee on the credit card, and need to pay that by March 10, I think. It's one of the 2 fees we can put on our credit card. It was good that we could, so we could keep moving forward, but still need to pay it when due.
The girls have set the Scrapbooking Crop Date to March 6, 2010 Saturday, 9am-4pm. Let me know if interested. I'll get you connected. The cost is $30 and it is fully catered. I have not been told the outcome of the first fundraiser yet, but will post when that's available. Thanks for all the support so far. We have raise $175.00 through the chip-in on Facebook and our blog! So we have a total of $175 raise total to-date.
** update- the Valentine's Baby-sitting fundraiser raised $160, Thanks to Abby and Brytt :) we've had another donation of $60, and I recently sold my Ipod Shuffle on Ebay for $50.00. This brings the total raised to date to: $445
