Out of Translation

It's official!  We're out of translation "oot" which means all of our documents have been
translated.  The next step is under review.  And then we will receive our "letter of approval".
There are several steps beyond that but we'll try to wait patiently for our loa and then look at the next
steps.  Getting so excited here to finally meet our little guy. 

 
 
 
We have been so blessed to have received a $3000 matching grant from Lifesong for Orphans.  We are currently at a little over $700 which includes the funds from the auction we just held.  To help support our grant, we are selling origami note cards that our daughter, Faith makes.   If you'd like to help us meet our $3000 goal either by purchasing one of the card sets or making a donation,  here's how you can help.  Leave a comment if you'd like to purchase a card set or if you'd rather make a donation you can do so by check or our Lifesong paypal link.

Checks can be made payable to Lifesong for Orphans.  In the memo, note family name and family account number #4765, Vantrease to ensure it goes to the correct account.   Please mail to "Lifesong for Orphans, PO Box 40, Gridley, IL 61744.  100% of the donation will go directly to our adoption.  To donate online, you can click the "donate" button to the right, under "Ian's Lifesong Account" which will take you straight to our paypal link with Lifesong.  The account number will show there as well, #4765. 

Our card's come in a set of 8 with envelopes and are $13.75 which includes shipping.  These make great little gifts for teachers too.  Each card is signed with Faith's Chinese character.   Any pet lover would love Faith's cat and dog set of notecards.  Each pet set contains 4 cats and 4 dogs and varies by the color of card stripe/dot and the color of the origami.

The dress origami set at the bottoms contains 8 mixed patterns/colors of dresses on different colors of card stock.  Again this set is an example and all sets vary.  Each set comes with 8 white envelopes.  The notecards are blank inside.
