As many of you know, Travis and I are adopting an infant domestically. We completed our paperwork in February and now are waiting for our little one. The wait can range from 2 days up until 2 years. The costs of adopting a child is expensive, with most adoptions costing more than $15,000. To help lower the cost of our adoption, Travis and I are applying for grants through different organizations and we are fundraising by having a yard sale May 7th, May 8th, and May 15th. The yard sale on May 7th and May 8th will be held at our hous. The yard sale on May 15th will be at Jamie and Jen Nash’s house. They have generously opened their home to us.

Travis and I need help with our yard sale. We need donations for this sale to sell. If you have any sellable good items in your home that you are wanting to get rid of, Travis and I would love to take those for you and sell them in our yard sale. We are thankful to the families that have already donated items to us during their spring cleaning. If you have items that you want to donate to our fundraiser yard sale, please contact us at info@berkleybaby.com. I will begin collecting donated items the week of April 25th and will continue to collect items until May 5th.

Travis and I are blessed to have friends and family like you that are willing to help in anyway. We ask for your help too in praying for us. We are very excited about this adventurous time in our lives and we pray that God will be the center of our lives, our marriage, and our family. Pray for the Spirits peace to our Birthmother and to us. Pray that we will listen to the Spirits guidance and rest in His truth.

Thank you for you willingness and eagerness to help. This will be our first yard sale and we are very excited!

***UPDATE***
Thank you for all of your donations and willingness to want to serve our family. We are extremely excited about this yard sale next weekend and are looking forward to see what God is going to do with all of these great donations in my house!!

I am able to come and pick up donations or have donations delivered here now. I would like to have all donations by next Tuesday, May 4th. If you still have donations that you would like to give, please call me, e-mail info@berkleybaby.com, facebook, or text me to let me know so I can determine how to get the donations.

I also need volunteers to be "extra bodies" and help during the yard sale (it is going to be a very BIG yard sale). I need volunteers from 9 - 1 on Friday and Saturday.

We are also having a bake sale on Saturday to go along with the yard sale. I need people who would like to bake items for the sale.

Please let me know if you are able or willing to help in any small way. Thank you again for all of your generosity and support that you are giving our family.
