Loved By Choice

Adam and Tracy are working hard to bring home two beautiful little ones from Taiwan. They are using their talents to raise money to bring these two children home. Their site will certainly have something for everyone - the artwork is beautiful, the clothing is so fun, Adam's Christmas CD is so special and the jewelry is reminiscent of what we saw in China - all at great prices.

Just Love Coffee

We were approached, before we ever finished Jada's adoption, about joining a fundraiser for adoption - and being it involved COFFEE - I was thrilled to sign up!! Well, it has just taken off now and we were able to set up a store front - even though our adoption is finished. SO, for the next 6 months or so - we are able to make a portion of the sales off of any coffee ordered from this site to help with past expenses from Jada's adoption AND the rest of the money goes to help other adoptive families as well. What's not to love about that?!?! How about some more details?? You can order a one-time order or schedule out your orders AND it's fair trade coffee - I like that too - helping other countries as we help adoptive families. SO, if you enjoy coffee like I do - check it out - I have heard it is WONDERFUL coffee!

Sips for Selah

What a great idea for a fundraiser AND a way for you to win!!! Don't miss it - go check it out HERE.

Here is what the family said:
We're asking you to blog about our fundraiser and tell your readers to go to our Web site Sips for Selah to order our fairly-traded, shade-grown coffee (and order some yourself!). This superb, artisan-roasted coffee is some of the best we've ever tasted! We also offer two varieties of Chinese tea. Or if they prefer, they can simply make a donation.

As our thank you, your readers will get a chance at one of ten prizes. Every bag purchased or every $5 in donations counts as an entry into the contest. Out of every 1,000 entries, a lucky buyer (drawn at random) can choose to receive either free coffee or tea for a year (one bag a month), or a free iPod Shuffle.


What a great way to help bring a child home!!

Bringing Madelyn Home

CJ and I have put together a fundraiser to raise money to donate to Madelyn's orphanage in Wuhan, China. Our plan is to shop for the orphanage while we are there getting Madelyn. Some of the items we wish to purchase would be in the area of ... Diapers, formula, vitamins, medicines like tylenol, tee-shirts, socks, underwear, clothes, bedding, etc... In addition, we would love to bless them with some air conditioners and maybe a washer and dryer.

We have created a blog with the fundraiser information. Check it out!!! Bringing Madelyn Home

Jada Fund

I try not to post for myself very often, but since I have people asking, I thought I would let you know how you can give to help our family with this, our second, adoption. So I will post some different ways you can help give money toward our adoption. What always amazes me is that God takes care of everything!
1) You can give to the piggy bank in the sidebar And Jada Makes 7 - this goes through Paypal.
2) You can sign up for a blog makeover at Busy Mama Blog Design.
3) You can order from Amazon.com by clicking on ANY of our links at the bottom of our blog - you don't even have to order THAT item, but any order placed by clicking in through our blog - gives a small portion to our family account.
4) You can mail a check to our church and give through them - that would give you a tax deductible statement. If you choose this route here's the address:
New Hope Evangelical Free Church
Attn: Lisa Leusink
718 Florida Ave. SW
Orange City, IA 51041
IN THE MEMO LINE: put "Adoption for Bilby's" and it will 100% get to us and you will get a tax-deductible statement as well.
5) Any Creative Memories orders placed through my site also give a portion back to us - so that is good too!! (Traditional Scrapbooking or Digital Supplies - either counts!!)
6)Lastly, I am starting another blog - this one is called Chloe's Closet - I am selling all of Chloe's out-grown clothes that I was saving for Jada and now know won't fit her! I am also accepting DONATIONS of items to giveaway on this site as well - some designers have sent me brand new items to list on there - and that helps us too!

Cookbook Anyone??

I love it when yet another family has their heart turned toward adoption! The Ryder's are raising money to help bring home their son who is currently in Uganda. What a wonderful cause and their cookbook looks like it will be WONDERFUL!
Visit them at Recipes for Elijah.

Oatsvall Team

Gwen states:

T-SHIRTS ARE HERE ... I DESIGNED THEM TO CAUSE PEOPLE TO TALK ... I pictured the Daisy as people would say "You Love Me, You Love Me Not?" and it hit me ... It is a personal choice to love the orphans, but it is a mandate from the Father
that we all care for them in some way ... WHAT DOES CARING LOOK LIKE FOR YOU ...
It could be adopting, sponsoring a child, helping someone fund their adoption,
clothes drives/food drives for orphanages, volunteering at a non-profit, interim
care, or simply buying this t-shirt to help bring my children home ... I know I
am saying this to the choir... You, my blog family, have been amazing at caring
for the orphans, so many of you are ACTING and we are changing this world !!!
Let's keep talking about them to others and get more people involved ...
I HOPE YOU LIKE THEM ... I HAVE 100 ... SMALL, MEDIUM, LARGE, AND X-LARGE ...
$25.00 each ... I am so excited to be taking this step to start the fundraising for
my angels ... Much has happened over the last few days that I will blog soon ...
GOD THINGS ... AMAZING HAND OF GOD MOMENTS ....
Feel free to email me any questions about the shirts ... s.oatsvall@comcast.net
