One of the ideas in Adopt Without Debt is doing blog giveaways/raffles. Specifically one idea mentioned was an American Girl Doll giveaway that helped the Buoiconti family raise nearly $2,400.
Well Peter and Tanya took the idea and ran with it on their blog as well. On August 8th they drew a winner and celebrated $2,500 raised to bring home their little girl from China.
I LOVE hearing reader stories and am always looking for more ideas to share. If you have one, fill out the idea form here.
Someone on Twitter linked to this great post from the blog owner of San Diego Steals and Deals on how their family afforded adoption – twice.
She has some great ideas including using internet reward programs and bartering for things you need.
In the book I mention how many direct sales products can be used to raise funds for your adoption – it’s just a matter of finding a willing consultant.
Well you can take it one step farther and help another adoptive family in the process. Mary Thew is selling Scentsy (safe, wickless scented candles) to raise money to fund their adoption from Uganda and would love to help you use it to raise funds for YOUR adoption.
It’s super easy. Mary sets you up with a fundraising page and you just get the link out there and encourage your friends and family to buy. You make 25% of the total sales. How easy is that?
