This is what our puzzle looks like as of today.  We are adding a few pieces each week so it is gradually taking shape.  Thank you!  :)

If you are interested in buying a puzzle piece, here is how the puzzle fundraiser works:

An individual or family will buy a puzzle piece (or pieces) for $10 each.  Each puzzle piece purchased will have the name of the individual or family written on the back.  As the pieces are purchased, we will begin assembling the puzzle.  We will be updating our blog with the progress of the puzzle as it is formed.  After the puzzle is completed, we will frame the puzzle between two pieces of glass and hang it in our baby’s room so that when he or she is older, they can see who helped bring them home to us. 

After a puzzle piece is purchased, the individual or family’s name will be added to our "Wonderful Donors" list on this blog. 

Three ways to buy a puzzle piece:

1.  Click on our YouCaring link below.  Just click on the “Give Now” link and in the comment box put that you are buying a puzzle piece (or pieces).

2.  Write a check or donate cash and hand deliver to Joey or Jen (checks can be made payable to us).

3.  Mail a check to us (email me at jengoldsmith22@gmail.com for our address if you don’t have it).

This is what the finished puzzle will look like:

We have applied for a grant and a loan at this point and are waiting to hear back on both.  Once we complete our home study, we will be able to apply for several more grants.  We are about $375 short of the funds needed for our home study.  We are getting close! :) 

We cannot thank you enough for your support as we continue the adoption process.  We are patient in waiting and trusting in God's timing for the entire process.  It is exciting!
