Last week a friend of mine visited the orphanage where the two boys (the older we are hosting this summer) and that we are hoping to adopt live. She is a host mom yourself (and actually hosted the older boy of the 2 this winter) and is in the process of trying to adopt their host child (that they have hosted twice) as well. She personally took them small gifts from us. We also sent the older boy a letter telling him about us and also sent pictures of us, our home, and our animals. She said he loved the pictures.
Here he is reading the letter we sent. :-)
Opening up some of the candy we sent him.
One of things we sent him was a lego set-that my friend said he promptly began putting together and had finished in less than 10 minutes. According to her, he is quite the prodigy with them!
And not to keep saying the same things, but we have raised/earned by working/paid $4900 out of the $7500 we need to host all three boys this summer and we have less than 2 weeks left to go! If you can't help financially, do you have any items that you can donate for us to sell for hosting and towards our adoption? We are hoping to do an online auction, as well as a garage sale, and we also sell items on craigslist.
If you would like to donate towards our adoption, you can donate to us directly on our paypal link on this blog, and we are also planning several fundraisers once we have raised the host money for this summer!

They are at a wonderful orphanage where the director really cares about every single one of the children. Here they are all at some sort of parade or procession or something. (I didn't ask my friend for clarification) The director bought ice cream for all the children. If you look closely, you will notice many of the children that will be (or are hoping to be) hosted in America this summer!
