iPad 2 Give Away! 2nd -UPDATED!! More Prizes!

***Update*** Our Article 5 was picked up last week and we are now officially waiting for Travel Approval! We are praying it will be issued soon and also that our agency will be able to get us a consulate appointment before the big trade show in April.

We have some great gifts that have been donated to our Lily Giveaway!! Please scroll down and view our runner up prizes!***



We got I800 approval!!!! FINALLY!!! (after 42 days) We encountered red tape but I guess the red tape is part of the red thread to China....

"An invisible red thread connects those destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstances. The thread may stretch or tangle, but never break." - Ancient Chinese Proverb

With everything moving along now we have come to the realization that we are actually going to be traveling soon and we will finally get to meet our darling little girl! We are hoping to travel in 7 weeks approximately.....So we need to raise the last bit of funds to get there. We are short about $4,000 to cover travel fees, China fees, airfare and the orphanage donation. WE NEED THESE FUNDS TO TRAVEL to bring Lily home!

So we are offering another iPad 2 - 16GB Giveaway!





We have ONE new Apple iPad 2 (and hopefully we will be able to add a few additional items for runner up gifts.)

Here's how it works:

We will hold TWO giveaways.

Give away # One is for the iPad 2 - 16GB. Everyone who donates will be entered into the iPad 2 drawing according to how many chances they donated towards.

Drawing # Two will be for these gifts. (Thank you to everyone who donated gifts!) I think a few more will be on the way as well.

Everyone who donates to drawing #1 will ALSO be entered into drawing #2 according to how many donations they contributed.
