We're still waiting to hear if we've been accepted by the adoption agency.....they've requested more information from Todd's doctors, as well as more specific information about our "Assets and Liabilities". I was relieved to discover that we actually don't look as bad on paper as we do in my head....whew...we actually owe much less than we're worth!!
In other news, Anne Jakaitis filled me in on the adoption fundraiser they're planning at the church for Sunday, July 29th....it's a Trivia Night with 6 people to a table and 10 rounds of trivia. I've never been to one, but it sounds like a blast....and a much better option than the "Help the Magruders Vacation in Lovely Ethiopia" telethon we thought of....I've heard suggestions that there might also be some Silent Auction items available that night, but we'll have to see how that pans out. We're just so incredibly grateful for all of the people who are getting excited with us!
You can enter for $10/person or $50 for a table of 6 by contacting Laura @498-9264
Our friend Shana recently returned from an amazing trip to Kenya, and looking at her photos makes me dream of what our child/children will look like!!
