Adoption Garage Sale

Do you live in Utah? Do you have stuff hanging around your house that you don't need or want anymore? Do you love a good garage sale? Do you want to help Becky and Jeremy adopt? (of course you do!)

Becky and Jeremy are having a garage sale to help raise money for their adoption. To make sure that it is a great success, they are also taking donations of items that you no longer want. They will even come pick it up for you. (You know that box of stuff in your basement you've been meaning to take to Good Will/ DI for 7 months- they will happily take care of that for you!)

OR- if you really love a good garage sale, I am willing to bet that this is going to be a good one.

You can get the details on their blog.

Good Luck Becky and Jermey- can't wait to hear how it goes!

Photolisting Sites

My husband and I are considering fos-adopt for a future adoption.

Because I like to put the cart before the horse when ever I can, I have started collecting photolisting sites. I know this is not a comprehensive list, so please help me add to it. The states listed under the sites are the states that the children are in, not necessarily, the states that the children are able to go to. Most of these sites will accept inquiries from any family in the state the child is residing in or families who have all ready completed their home study in any state.
