I Interrupt this Blog Break with BIG NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I apologize for my very slow blogging in the last week, but today is a day to rejoice and return to the blog!!!

First of all ===>HAVE YOU SEEN! Nanette met her goal! Thank you Patti at A Perfect Lily for your help in getting Nanette to her goal and past it. I was sort of stalled out, and my sweet friend helped me get Nanette to her goal. She was left until the very end last year, but not this year friends! She made her goal good and early! YAY NANETTE!

There is still work to be done because she NEEDS a family!!!!! Any money added to her account WILL help a family come forward for her, but more important than the money is that her family sees her and knows they see their daughter and commits to her. Remember, if you are visiting her wondering about Nanette, she was in an excellent Baby House. She was transferred recent; however, she is in a decent institution from what I have been told. However, NO institution can take the place of a family. A real, loving momma and daddy!

Next on that same note ***My Angel Tree kiddo from last year-Megan has a family!!!***
Megan has had one of the largest grans on Reece's Rainbow for a while now, but due to her region temporarily shutting down, it has been difficult for a family to step out in faith to adopt her. However, Megan's region is up and moving again, and things are expected to become more "normal" again with adopting in her region. With that news, a family has come forward for sweet Megan! I cannot wait to see who the lucky family is!!!

Back to Nanette: the giveaway ends in two days, so if you haven't gotten a chance to get in on it yet, go here to donate and then comment to enter!!!

This is not all about money folks. The goal is to find a family for Nanette. She needs a family so badly. I came across a blog entry yesterday of a mother who recently returned home from Nanette's country and adopting a 3 year old little girl with Down Syndrome. I want to say that it is by far one of the most telling and powerful posts about adoption I have ever read, and I have read a few (HUNDRED) blog posts about adoption. You can read that post here:  http://raisingthefabulousthree.blogspot.com/2012/12/the-ugly-side-of-adoption.html

Adoption is not always about growing your family. For so many of these children, it is about giving them a life. Not just giving them a life, but giving them their life back. I know it is long, but please consider reading this post.

Angel Tree is not just about money. It is about finding Nanette her family. It is about exposure and helping people understand just why it is so important to help rescue these children.

$339.50

Just $339.50 separates Nanette from her goal of $1,000.00 over the holiday season. It seems like so much, yet so did raising $250, and $500. I truly believe Nanette will meet her goal.

Please do not forget about the $50 Target giftcard giveaway over at A Perfect Lily! Not too many entries yet, so your chances of winning are pretty good. ANY amount donation gets you an entry to the giveaway.

Also, stay tuned. I am still working on a final "challenge" to reach the last goal. Due to recent surgery, it is questionable as to what I can and cannot do for my challenge, but I will post about it soon.
