Zaid's Virtual Birthday Party...Everyone's Invited!!!

**Check out littlebow-tique.blogspot.com
Geanie and I have started a bow blog for little Zaid also...there's lots of cute stuff and every penny helps!!!



(I copied this from another blog...)

OK girls, it's time to show our true colors. Geanie Rodgers is the lucky momma who is adopting the little boy from Ethiopia. They officially have his referral now and are moving forward, having faith that everything will work out. Financially, it isn't easy to adopt internationally. Actually, there's NOTHING easy about it. But knowing you are basically saving a little one's life gives you the drive to take that leap of faith and just jump in feet first. Tomorrow is little Zaid's birthday (that's what they will probably name him). He is turning two. Geanie is way way sad that her son won't even know it's his birthday, when he SHOULD be getting a huge party with lots of love and family around. So, I figured he is about to get the greatest gift any little boy deserves, a FAMILY!!!!!!!! Let's throw him birthday bash like no other!!! I will call it "HEARTS WIDE OPEN". It starts today and it will be on Geanie's family blog. I will leave the link here for it. On her blog there will be a "chip in" box. There you can buy "virtual gifts" for this party of all parties! All donations will go to the mandatory orphanage donation there. In Ethiopia it is 7,000!!! That seems crazy but it really does cost a lot of money to care for the many many children who are orphaned or abandoned there. The place he is in is a non profit so we know they are in it for the children and they need every penny. Also, you should know (I hope Geanie doesn't shoot me for this) that Geanie and Chris have sold a lot of personal possessions-big ones- to raise the funds needed to get their little boy home. They truly have the BIGGEST hearts . Unfortunately in adoption, usually the heart is bigger than the wallet. So this is how it will work. See the list below and help me decorate the party with balloons, streamers, party hats, a band, a cake, gift bags, toys, party favors and more. I will have a price attached to each one. To donate a couple balloons for instance , (just $5 a piece) click on over to their blog and donate 10.00 with just a couple clicks of the mouse at the chip in box!! It takes so little time and will make such a huge difference in this little boy's life! No donation is too little! Mighty things will come to this boy through his family! Let's help them help him!!! I pray we fill the room with everything this little child deserves! Let's do this! Ready set.............GO!!!!!!!
