Launching our Adoption Fund

As you read in an earlier post here, our family has recently begun the adoption process. We will be using our blog to keep you informed about every part of our journey including opportunities for you to help in bringing Lottie home. We are extremely grateful for any financial help you give toward our adoption and want to be completely transparent about how we use the money donated. So, consider this our "Adoption Fund Fine Print."

Here are just a few things we want you to know when donating to our adoption fund:
  • Money donated through our PayPal account (the "Donate" button on our blog) is subject to a PayPal fee of 2.9% + $0.30 for each transaction if paid by credit card. This means that if you donate $10 to our adoption fund we see $9.41 of it. We feel the fees associated with PayPal are completely worth it for the ease and security that PayPal offers.
  • We have set up a separate bank account specifically for our adoption fund. All financial gifts given toward our adoption will be held in this particular account to ensure they are kept separate from our day-to-day money. Our PayPal account is linked directly to this bank account as well.
  • You are welcome to send a donation through the mail if you do not wish to use PayPal. Email me at glohunsberger@gmail.com for our mailing address.
  • Please feel free to ask about details associated with the cost of our adoption if you have any questions. In response to your generosity, we see it as our responsibility to keep track of every penny spent throughout this process.
Again, we are incredibly thankful for your support and look forward to telling Lottie about each of you that help to bring her home through prayer and support.
