Piecing our lives together!

I love puzzles!  Catrina loves puzzles!  Eddie...tolerates puzzles.  :-)  One night while working on a puzzle at the kitchen table (coincidentally just after shopping for a new puzzle to send Catrina), Eddie made the comment that our adoption process is not unlike doing a puzzle.  With each crazy doctor's visit or odd test, with the display of one more private aspect of our lives, we find that it's all slowly piecing our family together.  In this light, we decided to do a somewhat unique fundraiser so each of you can take a part in helping us piece together our future.

We have a 500 piece puzzle (the one displayed below) and we are asking that you consider funding a piece, or a small section of the puzzle with a donation of any amount. When you sponsor a piece or pieces, we will write  your name on the back and add it to the puzzle. Once its done, we will frame it with glass on both sides and hang it in Catrina's room. With this, she will have a visual reminder of how many different people love her and helped get her home.  She will have a better understanding of what is means to be a family.



I also plan to post photos of our progress with the puzzle so you can see how it's coming along.

We chose the butterfly theme because butterflies are the symbol for hope and new life! As a beautiful reminder of His hope and the new life He offers, God sends a ton of butterflies to La Gonave, Haiti each spring.

Recommended donation is $10 per peice, but any and all contributions will be accepted and appreciated!

You may sponsor a piece or pieces using PayPal (the Donate Button on the right), or to pay with cash or a check, simply post a comment below (I will moderate it before it gets posted and remove it if necessary so as NOT to display your personal information) so I can get you our address to you. 

Don't forget to let me know the name(s) you would like to appear on the back of your piece(s).

Thanks in advance and thank you for your continued prayers! We are so blessed to have such a wonderful network of loving friends and family! May God bless you all as much as you have blessed us!!!
