We Need Your Help

The time has come where we need to ask for your help to raise money for our adoption.  We are close to emptying our savings account and we still need quite a bit of money.  We feel very strongly that God has led us down this adoption path once again and we know the money issue will work out somehow.

We have done quite a few things around our family to save money.  We have drastically lowered our cable TV and cell phone bills.  We rarely eat out at restaurants.  We have drastically cut our "fun" spending.  We are willing to use every penny of our savings to get our daughter home.  (Although, we do live in a "money pit" house, so hopefully this won't backfire on us!)

If you can help in this way, any donations will be greatly appreciated.  We need to raise around $20,000.  This would include everything .... adoption agency fees, US Immigration fees, document processing fees, Homestudy fees, mailing fees (we should own stock in UPS by now!) and our travel expenses.  There are a few ways you can help:

1.  A direct donation.  Checks can be made out to Aaron or Sherry Wolfe and be mailed to us (email us at wolfeadoption@gmail.com if you need our address).  If you'd prefer to use Paypal, send a donation to wolfeadoption@gmail.com and make sure to indicate it is a Personal Gift payment so that fees aren't taken out.
2.  Shop at Just Love Coffee http://www.justlovecoffee.com/TheWolfes  We get half of the cost of whatever you buy and the coffee is really good!!!

For any donation made, we'd love to include quilt squares in our daughter's quilt.  See THIS post for the details.  It's $10 per square.  So if you donate $100, that's 10 squares.

We so appreciate any help you all can provide.  It's hard for us to ask for money.  For Jacinda's adoption, I (Sherry) went back to work full-time and we refinanced our house so that we wouldn't have to ask anyone for money.  This time, refinancing the house again is not an option.  Regarding going back to work full-time, by the time we paid for day care for 2 kids, it wouldn't be worth it.  So here we are.

We love you all!  Please know that if you can't donate, we certainly understand and please don't worry.  We are confident this will work out somehow.  We know that a little girl is waiting for us in China and God knows how this all will work out.  We are excited to see how He provides and we are beyond excited to find out who that little girl will be!  We're really hoping to be home with her by the end of 2011.

Please let us know if you have any questions!  You can email us at wolfeadoption@gmail.com or post on Facebook or here in the Comments.  Thank you for taking the time to consider helping us!
