I am so lucky to have had three children of my own and now this amazing grandson. There are others for whom this has not happened. Fortunately, there are opportunities out there for adoption. Unfortunately, adoption is very expensive. Fortunately, there are people out there who see a need and do something about it. One of these groups is called Sacred Selections. Several times a year they have fundraisers to help families pay for adoptions. They help people find ways to raise money for themselves, and they also counsel these couples, who want to be parents so very much, through the process.
When my mom and sister told me they were donating items for an auction, I asked if I could take part and donate too. These bags are a couple of the things I sent. Hopefully they will be a little helpful in someone reaching their goal. I had fun making them. I thought of when I was expecting my children and the lovely anticipation that went along with that time in my life, hoping that soon those waiting for children will realize their dream.
GENIUS!!!!! Plus, it's for a really great cause. I know my parents wanted to adopt another kid once, but had to change their mind because of the cost. It was really expensive and they already had 4 of us. I always wonder what it would have been like to have another sibling.
ReplyDeleteMiss you =)
Oh how cute! Leave it to you to come up with something so darling and practical. ;-)
ReplyDeleteVery well written! And you don't think you are a good writter? Open your eyes, you are good! Now, get busy on those descriptions including the quilt and purse. They don't have to be long.
ReplyDeleteShould that be 'writer?' :)
ReplyDeleteVery cool! The bags and the cause.
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely and so useful. Wouldn't they be great for holidays or weekends away? You could put the whole kit in your case and when you went out you could pop some money and essentials in the pouch and pop it in the bag ready for some goodies shopping ;-) - the fabric is so pretty too.
ReplyDeletereally nice corinnea:) and you used a favorite fabric of mine!
