To date, we are about $4000 away from our goal of $26,000 for the actual adoption costs! We have about $1500 left to raise for our home study & apostille fees which are higher in California than most other states in the U.S. We are so close and we have two last fundraisers left and then we are SET! One of them is the Mono Mia Open House Fundraiser and the second is a Saving Sofia Fashion Show & Raffle on Sunday, May 16th at 2:30pm in Auburn...please save the date! More info on that to follow soon.
On Wednesday April 21st, 5-8:30 PM, there will be an Open House at Mono Mia. Several vendors are participating and it it is a great reason to get out of the house, support the cause, visit with friends, and get some unique shopping done!
Mono Mia is located at 1721 Eastern Ave. Suite 15 in Sacramento, CA. Right across the street from Whole Foods Market!
Here are a brief description of some of the vendors participating:
Start at GoldBug and turn in that old gold for cash!

Living life one day at a time as a family of six...3 busy and bouncy boys and 1 Ukrainian princess. Our third son Joaquin was our unexpected blessing who came to us with a little something extra called Down syndrome and inspired us to adopt Sofia an orphan we fell in love with through Reece's Rainbow. We hope that our story will help open people's eyes to the beauty and gift that ALL children are. We are all more alike than different!
Prayers keeo coming constantly for your family! May God Keeo you safe and healthy and constantly hold you in the palm of His hands! Hugs from Anne
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this story! My husband and I adopted our daughter who has down syndrome. She is from the US but her parents are Armenian and she was not accepted in their family. She is the Joy of our life and I can't thank God enough for creating her for us. Sofia is amazing. Having gone through the adoption process I know how excited and anxious you guys are right now. I am so happy for you that she is coming home soon. May God bless your family!
