Cute Boy.....has a family

This beautiful peice of art sums it all up perfectly............ It is called "The Worth of a Soul"

Ok girls, remember this cute boy I was worried about? I posted his picture on this blog a couple of months ago? ( I had to take it down because it is forbidden by his birth country to post it) Well, some of you know HE HAS A FAMILY!!!..... and they are among US!! No, it's not me ,but I am thrilled to say that after much work and prayer and more work AND MORE PRAYER,, his family has done all the paperwork and been officially declared as the lucky family to proceed with his adoption. I can't put into words how happy I am that this child of God gets to grow up in a family and not in the streets. I am thrilled he has a kindhearted, beautiful Momma to care for him instead of a nanny at night when he needs a drink of water. I can't wait to see him grow up nearby(YEA!!!!!!!!!!!) AND do all the things local kids do like go to the Cassia County Fair, go to our own little Storybook Park, go pick out a treat at Maverick.......get all dressed up on Sunday for church, drive his sisters crazy, and love on his forever family. All the things we and our families take for granted. You know, the list could go on forever! Miracles happen every day and this is one of them!!!

So, now it's time we support this little guy in a real way....... I want to have a Pasta Pig Out! I want to have a huge dinner in honor of this family and in honor of him. They have had to take a real leap of faith to do this ( financially and otherwise) and have been determined to bring him home no matter the sacrifice. This makes me cry! They have sold some pretty big items already to help get their little guy home and still have a long way to go in a short amount of time. SO .......let's try to help raise the 7,000 orphanage donation that will be mandatory. I know this sounds like an insane amount of money... but think about it! If just half the residents of Burley gave 2.00 each ,that would do it! The cost of the adoption is way higher than this goal, but we can do THIS. His birth country is very strict about not putting his info on the internet, so I am not even posting where he is from, or his name but we all know we want to help so it doesn't much matter. All that matters is we get him home! So, I am throwing a huge pasta pig out where we all can have a great dinner and visit. I will have a whole array of fun things to auction off and lots of food:) The cost to get in will be way cheaper than taking the family out to a restaurant and WAY more fun! SO STAY TUNED! THIS WILL HAPPEN IN A COUPLE WEEKS! I will keep you posted. If you would like to help, please call me! We need helpers with food and donations for the silent auction. I am donating some food coaching and some food coach meals. Yummy!

We will also donate sod. If you have any service or gift to donate it will be so great!

Other ideas for the silent auction are
gift baskets
hair cuts
airline miles ( wait, she might need those to go get him:)
babysitting
house cleaning
gift certificates from local stores


It is so fun witness something so wonderful like this sweet boy coming home! It's bigger than you and me and it's an honor to be a part of it! My email is marem@safelink.net
