Wonderful News!

On Sunday night, I was preparing dinner.  I had felt a little discombobulated all day for some reason (my paintings I was working on for Christmas presents just weren't turning out), and since I didn't know who was calling, almost didn't answer the phone.  But for some reason, I just picked up, and was told my the Affording Adoption Foundation that I was being awarded $1,500!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This was one of the many grants to which I have applied-and the only one that has chosen us for a grant-  it was such a fantastic surprise and just MADE my Christmas!!!!!!!!  I am so thankful to have been given such a generous grant- Affording Adoption Foundation really DOES support us adopting parents!!!!!!! Now I know where my charity donations will be headed in the future (when I am done with all of this fundraising for Garrett!!)!  Keep up all of your good thoughts!  Another grant- from Gift of Adoption is being reviewed this week, and I am hoping that the committee will help us to reach our goal of bringing Garrett home!  All 20 of my fingers and toes are crossed and I am envisioning Garrett opening his Christmas gifts next year!!!!!!!!!!!! What fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
