ALEXANDER'S BIRTHDAY BLITZ!!!!!! *April 10-17*

Alexander will turn 6 years old this week---this is also the final days of our iPad2 giveaway. Coincidence? Nope!  Alexander has $7,837 in grant money (thank you to his fundraisers, prayer warriors and sweet Anya--fly high in heaven beautiful girl).  Total program costs where we are headed are about $24,000. Our Family Sponsorship Page is $8852.60.  We have also have an additional $1,000 in the waits for us as well. Our personal savings has $1,412.00 in it as well from candy sales and iPad2 options. As of this post, we have $19,101 in all grants and savings combined. If, during this birthday blitz celebration, we can raise just $4,899 our grant will be fully funded. FULLY FUNDED!!!  Can you imagine? I barely can. God has rained down his blessings in financial provisions for this adoption in ways I could have never dreamed.

So, here is the deal, for Alexander's 6th birthday if you donate one time---any amount---I will give you 6 options for the giveaway. If you have $1.00 to give, you will earn 6 options, if you have $100 to give you will get 6 options. "Well, that doesn't seem fair", you might say especially for those who donated already. I agree it doesn't seem fair at all. It is no more fair than the fact that my son, my child who is waiting for me, is locked in an mental institution because he has a tad more genetic material than the people who chose to put him there.

It isn't fair that he has turned 6 years older over the years and NO ONE has ever sang him HAPPY BIRTHDAY. NO ONE has ever given him a cake. NO ONE has celebrated his LIFE!!!!!!!!!!! Well, you know what? I AM!  I AM CELEBRATING HIS LIFE and I AM HOLDING TRUE THE TO PROMISE GOD PUT IN MY HEART THAT ALEXANDER IS MEANT TO BE OUR SON.

What better way, right now, to celebrate his life than to fill his fund full so that Shawn and I simply have to wait and trust in God to get us to his country to bring him home? Our dossier documents are compiled and will be apostilled and returned to me by this weekend (save for our homestudy, immigration ok, state clearances, CSP and POA's). Those last documents cannot be done until we have the homestudy and state clearances.

I would have never imagined that 2 months into this we would be where we are today. God is a mover and a shaker!!!  He can provide this funding if it is His will. I know that full well, I am simply trying to keep it fun for everyone. So, are you ready for a birthday BLITZ?  I am!!!!!!  One day, I can tell Alexander all about this amazing journey and YOU will be a part of it!

God bless you all for the support so far. Now, share this as much as you can. Donate any amount and get 6 options for the giveway!!!!
