"My friends, adoption is redemption. It's costly, exhausting, expensive, and outrageous. Buying back lives costs so much. When God set out to redeem us, it killed Him." -Derek Loux

Holiday Bake Fundraiser
Peter and Chris are 2 young Liberian boys that must return to Liberia.
Both have been in the US on medical Visa's, and now it is time to fly them home.
Peter will be adopted by our family (Gordon's) and Chris will be reunited with his biological family.
It is our privilege to escort Chris home to Liberia, and our honor to help in funding the airfare.
We have chosen to have a HOLIDAY BAKE SALE. Pre-Orders ONLY!
We will be preparing 4 items;
Cinnamon Rolls (bake and serve) ($20 serving 12)
Whole Grain Bread (2 loaves for $12)
Pumpkin Pie (each Pie $15)
Cheesecake with Graham cracker crust. ($20)
Three delivery dates will be available
November 17th 2012

THE FINAL STEP!
ppWe have reached the point in the process that the only thing holding us back now is ....US!
we have our immigration permissions, and everything else is completed . Tickets are being researched and final assembling of documents are being put together, we are SO EXCITED!!!
The final plans and arrangements are finding a sitter to stay with the kids for my undetermined time i must be in Liberia with Peter. Immunizations, Bags being packed, etc...
For anyone who is interested, we are looking/comparing the savings between donated sky miles, and using Wes's discounts from work, his tickets are always risky, since we must fly stand-by (international stand by does not sound fun!)
But it may save us $2,000 so.... I am willing.
IF you have miles your wiling to donate, please email me!
Our adoption savings account still has remains from the fundraiser, but not much :) our Paypal link is still on the side bar....
Our final costs are
Airline tickets: est $2,000 for both of us.
Food for 3 weeks: $500
Lodging in Liberia : $950 for 3 weeks
We are selling off all the items we have been saving, and appreciate any help you can give!
We are SO BLESSED, and HUMBLED, looking forward to that FINAL STAMP OF APPROVAL!
Thank you friends everywhere. We would NOT be here without your constant love and support.
It has taken more than a village to accomplish this feat.
THANKS!

Fund-raising has been the HARDEST part of this whole process, the constant begging from friends, family and strangers has taxed me emotionally, and so this will be the only request you will see, (barring any serious emergencies)
