We've had three garage sales and raised $2,800 that way. Most of our items were given to us by friends and church members.

There is also the Chosen marathon, https://www.chosenmarathon.com/; they have races in New Braunfels, TX, Charlotte, and Tampa.

I loved the book "Adopt Without Debt" by Julie Gumm. It is full of ideas on how to adopt without debt, not just by fundraising but with common sense ways to cut your expenses and save more. We were already doing most of what she'd said, but it was good to get confirmation that we were headed in the right direction.

Also, it's been recommended by Dave Ramsey

This is not a fundraising idea, but a possible funding source for adoptions and fertility treatments.  LightStream.com offers unsecured funding for adoptions and adoption expenses for people with excellent credit up to $100,000.
