Help Bring Our Missing Piece Home!

When people donate to our Adoption Fund, we will write their name on the back of a puzzle piece. As donations come in, the Adoption Puzzle will be assembled. I will be updating our blog with the progress of the puzzle as it is formed. The completed puzzle will be framed and displayed in home. What a wonderful keepsake for our daughter to see all of the people who were part of bringing her home. Thank you for your support!

How to Donate:
• Click on the Donate button and pay securely through Paypal
(Paypal will send you a donation receipt for tax purposes via email)
• Write a check or donate cash and mail or hand deliver to myself or Dane
(Checks can be made payable to us)
