Hello Family and Friends!
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with several family members at our house. Everyone ate my cooking and survived to tell about it!

Of course we couldn’t stop talking about how excited we are to adopt! While we were celebrating my cousin, Tavish, came up with the brilliant idea to have an adoption fundraiser. So, I have added the “Chip In” link you see on your right. As I am sure you are all aware the cost of an international adoption is significant and since the Whitfield’s are nothing like the Jolie-Pitts (I’m sure she never had a panic attach while trying to complete her adoption paperwork!) we would be so grateful for anything you may want to “chip in.” In case you’re curious about what kinds of expenses come with an international adoption I’ll give you a brief description of some of the fees.

$7,350 to Gladney (this is after Josh’s clergy discount!)
$1,400 Immigration
$7,500 Aid to Africa
$7,500 Travel
For a total of $23,750

We’re thinking for every dollar donated we will give you the opportunity to change a diaper or kiss a boo boo, whichever you prefer.
