The Sparrow Fund

Nearly a year ago we waited with great joy and anticipation as our friends Mike and Ashley made their journey to China to meet and bring home one beloved child.   We followed along in their adoption process over the course of two years and we rejoiced when their family of now five was united.   Mike and Ashley spent years praying, waiting, saving, and preparing for their journey of adoption.  They were adopting a special needs child and so needed additional guidance and medical advice.  There are programs that provide exactly this kind of support but they can be expensive and it is an expense that not every family can afford, especially in addition to the adoption itself.   

Acknowledging this financial need, fellow adoptive parents and friends of Mike and Ashley, Mark and Kelly Raundenbush started The Sparrow Fund.  The Sparrow Fund is an organization "committed to encouraging and supporting families as they prepare for the adventure of adoption."  

The Sparrow Fund is led by a team with bright minds and big hearts and will no doubt be a tremendous blessing to many adoptive families!

In support of The Sparrow Fund several retailers are donating 10% of their total sale during the month of May!  I have to give fair warning though that when you click on some of the links you may find yourself compulsively purchasing a few gotta-have-its!  You can find the full list of retailers here.

Ashley has also been doing a blurb for each of the retailers if you would like to take a sneak peak and you can visit her blog here.
