When I first learned about the summer hosting program, I inquired about it with the intention of hosting during 2006. Not because I didn't want to this summer, but because I knew I didn't have the savings to support an international adoption yet. But the program coordinator sent me pictures of the kids that still needed host parents. As soon as I saw Peanut's picture I was hooked. There was something in his eyes that called to me. And, as you know if you've been reading my blog, he and I are a perfect fit.

I've managed to come up with more of the funds than I could have imagined. I'm basically down to funding my travel costs now. So, I'm a starting a fundraiser to help me come up with the remainder of the costs. I'm selling "Flowers for Peanut" -- annual and perennial bulbs that are perfect for spring planting.
