We had our garage sale the last two days and it was so much work! My Mom was great! She stayed and worked the entire time for two days. A few of our neighbors saw we were having it and called us saying they had things to throw in so we were constantly dragging new things in and pricing them. It was very hectic and we are just exhausted but we are pleased with how well it went.
I made a sign reading that the proceeds were going toward our adoption and put a picture of Nathan on it. I met quite a few people who have been touched by adoption in some way.
The most memorable was a couple who adopted a girl from China in 1994. They were one of the first families to adopt internationally from China. We talked for a while and I realized how much the process has changed since then. Some things go more smoothly and some do not.
A man came to my garage sale and got very excited to see the sign. He and his wife brought home their son from Russia last Tuesday. He stayed and talked a LONG time. He was so excited, he ran home to get his son so he could bring him back and show him off. Isn't that sweet?
Thank you so much to our friends who contributed items for our sale!
