Who doesn't love bags?

I came across an amazing lady, Anne Little, on the internet who does Thirty-one fundraisers where she donates 100% of her commission to families who are adopting. She herself has adopted children so it is her way of giving back. If you or someone you know would like something go to http://www.mythirtyone.com/AnneLittle/ and click on "My Parties" at the top. There you will see "Bray Family Adoption" You must order through our party for us to get the commission.  If you haven't heard of them they have a lot of great stuff - bags, purses, wallets, organizing stuff, university items, and much more.  This month has an awesome special where you get a Keep-It Caddy for only $5 for every $31 you spend. You can either have it shipped straight to you or shipped to me. If your local I can get it to you pretty easily. If you are in OK we travel there often enough that I can get it to you next time we are headed that way, but if you want it quickly it would probably be best to have it shipped straight to you. Feel free to message or email me with any questions or if you would rather me order it for you.  You can look at the catalog on the website above or you can also see a pdf catalog here.  The party will close the 17th of February so be sure and get your order in soon!  :)

To give you a quick update where we are in the adoption process...  We finished the last of 4 interviews with our social worker Jan 24th when she came to our house.  She said we are the perfect family to adopt.  :)  So we are hoping the official homestudy will be done by the end of the week (she said it would take her about 2 weeks to get it completed) because you can't apply for any adoption grants until you have it.  We will also be filing for our I-600a in the next week or two.  It is a form/application to US immigration for a US citizen who is adopting from a foreign country.  It will cost us about $900.  Then in March we will have a large amount due with the submission of our dossier.  So this fundraiser and hopefully a tax return will come at just the right time.  :)
