As most of you know, Joe and I have had some struggles with starting a family. The heartbreak of a miscarriage and the expenses of failed infertility treatments have been difficult, to say the least. We have been waiting patiently for God's perfect timing. Well, we're happy to say that the wait is finally over! We are adopting a baby boy from Florida this summer.  We're so excited to welcome a child into our home and raise him with the loving support of our family and friends.

We've started a fundraiser on Pure Charity to raise the funding that we need to make our adoption a success. God has blessed us in many ways so far, but we're still short of our goal for July. We have a donation goal of $6,000 that will go towards the final cost of our adoption. It's been our dream to help give a child an opportunity like this and we hope that you will consider helping us make our dream a reality.

To make this a more engaging and interactive fundraiser, we have purchased a puzzle of 150 pieces.  Each piece represents a $40 suggested donation. (Of course, we would be grateful for whatever amount you are able to give.) As donations are made, we will write your name on the back of a puzzle piece and periodically reveal the puzzle picture.  Once completed, we will show the whole puzzle, frame and hang it in the nursery.  You will all be a part of our family's story forever! 

Every donation is important and will help make this adoption a success. Would you kindly consider making a donation? Also, we would appreciate your willingness to share this with others who may want to participate.

Thank you so much for being a part of our lives and helping accomplish something that's important to all of us!

With grateful hearts, 

Joe and Debbie (Mucci) Shreve
