Hello All...
My name is Ashley and my husbands name is Josh. We have been married for 7 years and have tried to have kids since we got married. We recently found out that we have to do invitro to get pregant, which cost like $12,000. After much prayer and thought we have decided that adoption is the way we should go.

We are so excited we go to our first LDS FS Adoption Orientation today. CAN'T wait. Counting the hours.

If anyone has any helpful information for us to help us with the process. Please reply.

On September 16, 2006 we are having an Yard Sale to raise money for our adoption. Does anyone have any ideas how to raise more money for the adoption costs?

Have a wonderful day and thanks!

We did a yard sale and raised $700 in one day!! We advertized it in the paper, online and with signs stating specifically that we were raising money to fund an adoption!! We got SO much support!! A lot of people paid MORE than the asking price just to help us out and not many tried to bargain, which is what usually happens with yard sales!! It was a HUGE success and we would probably do it again!!

Good luck!! It is very exciting but you probably have a long road ahead of you!! We went throug the Ogden, UT agency...PLEASE PM me if you have any questions or if you want to talk, complain, etc!! I am here!
