A Paper Baby Shower for Lyla!

Initial Costs Fully Funded!!!!
You guys ROCK!!!
This was a fabulous paper baby shower!
God is good and you are helping to pave a path for Lyla to come home!!
Thank you!!!
**To be COMPLETELY fully funded for their adoption, the Spitz Family is in need of $3,920. If you'd like to make a tax-deductible donation and play along with the fun challenges we have happening...check it out HERE

Hi Friends! It's Sarah here, hijacking the Spitz Blog :) 


Summer and Dave have some upfront costs that they're in need of quickly for Lyla's adoption. 
Their home study is COMPLETE and that means we have to rally for this sweet family! Lyla's Reece's Rainbow FSP account is growing rapidly! However, those funds are not released to the family until they are ready to travel, so that money can't be used toward the initial fees. 

So we're throwing them a PAPER BABY SHOWER!!

This is how it works:
I will list some of their upfront costs and you can "buy" a gift for their shower by choosing an item off of their "registry" below. For some of the larger fees, of course you'd be welcome to buy the entire gift yourself, but if you'd like, you could also contribute a smaller amount toward that gift. We all love going in on gifts for showers, there is nothing more exciting than watching the guest of honor open their BIG gift! The Spitz's big gift is their USCIS fee of $720, which they are in need of quickly!

(suggested contribution if you'd like to "go in" on this gift is $20)

Dossier Mailing Fee (to Eastern Europe) $150 PAID IN FULL!
(suggested contribution if you'd like to "go in" on this gift is $50)

USCIS Application Fee $720 $620 $520 $320 $155 PAID IN FULL!!!
(you may contribute any amount toward this gift that your heart would like!)


Since this is a baby shower, and these are "gifts," your donation will NOT be tax deductible. It will be a gift directly to the Spitz Family.  The amounts you donate do not go toward THIS FUNDRAISER, just to be clear; this is a separate fundraiser for the Spitz family. 


When you decide what item you'd like to "buy" or "contribute to" please use the chip-in button at the bottom of this post or on the sidebar of the blog to make your donation. After you've done so, please leave a comment letting me know what gift you've bought and what amount you've donated. If you'd like your comment to remain anonymous, please let me know. Summer WILL NOT be checking this post, promise! Thank you for showing your love to this beautiful family! They are grateful for your support and friendship!



*If the chip in doesn't update right away, don't worry. It will update on the chip in site right away, but may take an hour to update on the blog :)

  2. I will take care of 2 of those apostille documents, gave up my Mom getting me a souvenir from Hawai. Would rather see Lyla come home instead of getting something I am not even sure I will use.
