Burge Family Adoption Fundraiser

1/25/2016

The Burge Family Adoption Fundraiser was overwhelming! Awesome! Amazing! Wonderful! So much fun!

About 130 folks braved the snowy roads on Saturday to sample 17 different soups and chilies, indulge in 16 different desserts, listen to amazing bluegrass music from The Misty Mountain String Band, and bid on over 50 silent auction items! It was a wonderful night and there are SO many people who helped make it a success! We couldn't have done it without you, and I mean it!

Thank you!!!

We were overwhelmed with the support from everyone and can't wait to share stories from the evening with Baby Burge! Thanks to Ali M, we have some photos to share too!

We've also totaled and deposited all the donations from the evening and it is overwhelming (I can't use this word enough)! The grand total from the fundraiser is (drum roll, please)...

I mailed the last “In love” ornament this week!

Several months ago I never would’ve imagined the response to our adoption journey from our friends, family, coworkers, and strangers. At the time, I was just tossing around an idea for Christmas ornaments and working on some prototypes. There were many obstacles to the ornaments at first: charred clay (I kept one of these just for fun), our oven catching fire (while preheating to bake the ornaments of all things), and a broken arm (which makes rolling out clay next to impossible). Finally, we took the chance and shared the “In love” ornaments with the world.

Craig thought we’d have some interest and maybe make a couple dozen. I thought it would be a miracle if they brought in close to $2,000 in donations. The actual response was incredible!

"In love he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will." -Eph. 1:5 (NIV)

I am an adopted daughter of Christ sharing how God is at work as we grow our family through adoption.

I pray that I can begin to express in words how God's been at work in our lives. I pray that He will be glorified as we share with others. I pray for you! I pray that as you read this you will see God at work in your own life and that your relationship with Him will be blessed.
