More BANG for your buck!!!

First of all....ONE MONTH FROM TODAY WE WILL BE ON A PLANE HEADED TO MEET OUR DAUGHTER!

Secondly - we have been approved for a matching grant through the Abba Fund! Wahoo! Okay...so what this means is that if you donate, say $20, then the Abba Fund matches that donation, and we get $40. If you donate $500, then we get $1,000. So we are getting more BANG for YOUR buck! SERIOUSLY! This is GREAT news for us! AND your donations can now be TAX DEDUCTIBLE! So what you do is make your check out to Abba Fund, print off this easy-breezey donor card, and send in your donation. You will mark "Humphrey Family Adoption" on it - and "walllla" - the donation gets doubled! And then Abba Fund will send you a receipt thingy for your tax records. If you do this pleeeeease let us know that you are donating to us. That way we know how much $$$ the Abba Fund has in our name and that we can withdraw.

And folks, we neeeeeeeed some moo-lah, cold hard cash, MONEY for our travel! We have TWO trips to Ethiopia to pay for, AND LOOK AT THIS.....



Yes, that's the donations I have collected so far to take to Macy's orphanage. My plan was to count up how much formula, granola bars, shoes, pacifiers, shirts, pants, etc. I had to pack - but honestly, it's just too overwhelming. Since taking this pic tonight I have crammed and stuffed two bags to the 50 lb. limit, and I have several more bags to go. And folks - these bags aren't flyin' for free. I would like you to guess how much it costs to ship an extra 50 lb. bag to Ethiopia. Well, you will guess totally wrong, so I will tell ya. The first bag is $150. For two bags it's $400. For three bags it's $750. And the price just keeps drastically going up with each bag. Apparently Delta Airlines isn't too fond of extra baggage. So PLEASE consider making a donation so we can bless some orphans with all this stuff that so many of you have given. I am gladly collecting, organizing, and packing - but if it comes down to paying for a plane ticket to bring our baby girl home or shipping this stuff over - I think you know which one I will do.

ANY donation is appreciated - as it gets DOUBLED! Again, please remember to let us know if you do send Abba Fund a check, as we need to keep track of how much they have in our account. Again, here is the link to that donor card!

Thank you so much! These kiddos are ready to meet their sister!
