As we settle into winter break and get nearer to Christmas, we definitely are so excited. We are so thankful for everyone who has supported our AdoptTogether fund. You raised money an international adoption specialist and family visas! Thank you for joining us in this!!
On the not so exciting front, we have decided to stay put for the holidays. We have made the 5,000 mile trek between Pasadena and Columbus or Charleston and back for the past number of years. This year we were geared up and ready to go, but at the last minute, we realized that being as high as we are on the list means that we could be getting a referral pretty soon. So, we are thankful for time to rest and get on top of the stuff that needs to be done to prepare to bring kiddos home, and we are trying to find ways to make this winter-less wonderland feel a little more like Christmas.
If you are still wanting to find ways to make tax-deductible donations before the end of the year, you can still donate to us or other adoptive families through AdoptTogether. The next step for us to secure resources for airfare to Ethiopia for our first trip.
Thanks for checking in on us! Enjoy the holidays. We'll keep you posted on how to find Christmas in the place with no snow :)
Much love,
Jimmy and Celeste
