5 MORE DAYS TO WIN A WORLDMARK RESORT WEEKEND GIVEAWAY!!

We were not separated at your birth.  It was the moment at which we begun our journey toward each other.
Nancy McGuire Roche --Adoptive Parent 
 

     Thank you all for your generous donations!  I've had the privilege of talking with several people, in response to our journey, that have been given the gift of adoption themselves and wanted to help us pass it forward to someone else.  Every little bit helps us reach our daughter!   


 
 
Every good and perfect gift comes from above

Don't forget that the largest one time donation will receive one of these great Thermal Totes and a super soft blanket (a $65 value).  They come in different sizes and colors.

10 More Days!

John and I are so truly amazed at all of your heartfelt donations!  Thank you again!

 

Information for a Tax Receipt: 
We had tried to use a foundation that creates an account for adoption donations and gives people a tax receipt, but they did not work with our adoption agency and they were the only ones we found who did that.  

Today, I just learned that it is possible to write a check to our agency's donation account and they will be able to put it in an account specifically for our adoption costs and send a tax receipt letter back to you.

I am really sorry that I did not have this information before we started, but it's not too late.  If you would like a tax receipt, we will gladly give you back your money and you can follow the steps below to receive a tax receipt letter of donation.  Please email me or post a comment and we'll work out the details. 


Here are the directions to receive a tax receipt letter:

Make out a check to: A Child's Embrace
Then on the "for" line write: Lisa/John Scharosch 

Then mail the check to:
Kids to Adopt 
2012 Broadway St.
Vancouver, WA 98663

They will mail a tax receipt letter back to you.  Please call them if you have any questions at (360) 695-1704.

Again, sorry for any inconvenience!  We've learned that there are many bumps and pot holes on our adoption journey!!  If you donate with a check to our adoption agency before the 10 day deadline, you will still be entered in the WorldMark Resort Weekend Giveaway.
