Photography Giveaway

Our agency is sending our homestudy to Asia so we should know in a few weeks if our family is a good match for this little monkey.  We are praying everything goes well :) !  It will probably cost us around $20,000 to bring this guy home.  Now the fun begins and we need to start fundraising.

I am giving away a wedding photography package valued at $700 provided by myself.  To see my wedding photos blog visit http://www.photosbytori-utah.blogspot.com/.   This includes engagement sitting, bridal session and the complete coverage of the wedding day activities!    To enter click on the  “Donate” button this will go directly through our Paypal account.  Then send me an email so I can make sure you get entered into the drawing photosbytori@yahoo.com.

The Averett Family

Our family has decided to adopt!!  We have chosen to adopt a child with down syndrome.   We felt like our family was not yet complete and we needed to adopt a child with special needs.  So now we are in the long process of international adoption. This is our first adoption and yes it is scary but it feels right at the same time.  The kids are excited to have another little monkey running around here to share their lives with! Those of you who know us will agree that we LOVE our home to be filled with kids and laughter!

We have contacted an agency that will help us through the processes.  We found the agency through the Reeces Rainbow web site and we have our eyes on a special little boy in Asia.  He is 5 years old.  I will be posting his picture soon.  So far we have completed the application process and home study.  The next steps are to submit the home study to his country for approval and USCIS for approval.  Thanks for all your prayers and support to help bring this little boy home to his forever family.
