Announcing Our Thanksgiving Raffle!

Announcing the Winners to Our Thanksgiving Raffle!!!
Well, it's time to announce the winners to our raffle. I cannot thank all those who donated enough for their participation. We were able to raise $560! I think it's a good start on our next set of adoption fees. Here are the winners...

1st Prize (Princess House Pan) : Ray & Shannon

Runner-up Prizes

(1) Santa Ana Zoo Pass for 4 people: The Reynolds Family
(1) Santa Ana Zoo Pass for 4 people: Leah Munoz
Solomon Beads Bracelet & Earrings: Stacy Richards (strange, I know)

Please continue to pray for our adoption process. I just heard back from USCIS today that they received my form and are processing it. It's a nice relief to know that it wasn't lost in the mail. Also, we are waiting for pre-approval from the orphanage in Taiwan. I think our home study has been sent there this week, or it still may be being translated. Please pray that we will be approved by both the USCIS and the orphanage and that it will all happen according to God's perfect timing. Thanks again!

UPDATE TO THANKSGIVING RAFFLE...

It has been brought to my attention that some people would like to enter the raffle, but are not comfortable using their credit cards over the Internet. Therefore, if you would like to enter the raffle by mail, feel free to do so, but make sure we receive it by November 23rd! You can mail it to my office address at 17742 Irvine Blvd. #205, Tustin, CA 92780. Thanks again for all your prayers and support!

I was at the Home Depot the other day and a perfect stranger gave me two passes to the Santa Ana Zoo that get 4 people in each. I thought, "Hmmm, Lord, what would you like me to do with these?" Then, my wonderful co-worker, Angie, who sells Princess House, gave me a gorgeous 15 qt. stainless steel roaster along with a roll of raffle tickets, and the Thanksgiving Raffle was born! Stacy Richards also is donating a lovely pair of Solomon Bead earrings and a bracelet.

Check out the prize descriptions below and enter today by donating through my "Chip-in" to the left. For every $5 you donate, your name will be entered in our raffle. For example, if you donate $15, your name will be entered 3 times. Be sure to donate by November 23rd to be entered in the raffle! All winners will be announced on the evening of November 23rd! Needless to say, 100% of all donations will go directly towards our adoption expenses. Thanks again for all your prayers and support!
