Adoption Fundraiser



I wanted to adopt early in our marriage, but Greg kept brushing me off saying, "Where's that money coming from? We don't make that kind of money?" Well, I never had a good comeback for that, so I let it go. After a lot of prayer, he and I both realized that if this is what God wanted us to do, He could make it happen, and he certainly has. We were able to come up with the first part of the money that we needed for our adoption with some creativity, generous family members, and Greg's shows and music sales. And now, here we are trying to come up with the second half, so we will resort to more prayer and some creativity once more!

I have become an Independent Consultant with "Thirty-One Gifts," a Christian based company that specializes in personalized items. It is a fairly new and growing company based out of Chattanooga. It was a complete "God thing" of how I heard about it! I absolutely loved the products, and originally just intended to buy a couple of things because the prices were so reasonable. And then I found out that if I became a consultant, I could make 25% off of every sale and put it into our adoption fund to help bring home my precious baby girl.

So, PLEASE check-out my site: www.mythirtyone.com/jessicaadkins There are some really cute products, and monogrammed bags starting at only $17!! Almost every product can be personalized, and the monogramming is FREE! If you are interested in hosting a party, you can earn lots of free products while you are helping to bring Claire home! You can do an in-home party, catalog party, or even an online party. Even if you don't live in Knoxville, you can do a catalog or online party and still help our cause. If you don't want to host a party, you can always shop online at my website! Take a look and let me know if you like what you see!

If you live in Knoxville, I am having an "Open House" event at my mom's in Farragut on Thursday, September 25th at 6:30 p.m. (**Note change of date!!) Let me know if you'd like to come and see what we have!

Hey Jessica! I have stumbled upon your blog from others that go to Crossings but you and I have not met. I wanted to let you know that I saw this adoption fundraiser entry and I've sent this out to all my friends in my address book. I wanted to let you know in case they mention anything, you'll know how they found out about this. I love this product and I'll be ordering!!!! I may be able to attend the open house too. Can you give me some more details on that? My email is clgerringer@yahoo.com

Thanks so much!
