Ok everyone i have been leary of fundraising from my family and friends cause I just dont like the feeling like i am begging but this is something i came across and i feel good about it cause at least they get an item out of it.
I am not sure if any of you are familiar with adoptionbug.com they sell adoption related tees. IA, DA, and Foster I love them and the slogans are so cute. well the offer a fundraising program I just emailed them for more info but it looks like a wonderful idea. they make a little store on their site for you with your picture and brief story then you pick up to 6 tees to sell to family and friends. they go to your site and shop and you get 25-45% of the sales towards your adoption. It looks so easy and it looks like there is no cost to you. here is the site for fundraising if not chekc out the tees they are soo cute

when i get the email with more info I will share it with you all.
just got the info they were fast there is a few forms to fill out and in 1-2 weeks we will have our online-store you receive 8-9 dollars per shirt sold and you can do traditional door to door orders and they are sold to u in bulk as well. It is completely free so it can not hurt to try an earn a few bucks.

My blog
We started this after we found out about the new 2-trip rule to Ethiopia. In our blog, there is a link on the side to our site for the t-shirts. In fact, our friend designed the first 2 for us! Anyways, the lady who runs it is awesome and has been great to work with. I believe she is waiting for a referral right now herself! The t-shirts are so cute when they are packaged. Rolled up with some string - it's actually really cute!
Anyways, I highly recommend them! For each sale, you get an e-mail saying who ordered it (well, just their e-mail address) so that you can personally thank them and then you receive a commission statement in the e-mail as well.
