It’s your personal shout out!
You can also email me during the week and personally request to share your projects on Crazy Links I Love weekly post. Please limit to adoption, missions, or orphan care fundraisers. I want to help you get the word out there in blog land!
Crazy Links:
1. As much as we want our little one home, we also wanted to help other couples become parents through adoption. In order to do this, we have co-founded Leaves of Love and we would LOVE for you to check it out. It is a great way for adopting parents to raise money for their adoption and I think it would be an awesome topic for one of your posts since you have so many fundraising mamas who read your blog. Since finances seems to be what scares people the most, we created Leaves of Love to make fundraising fun, stylish, and successful! Would love to chat all about it…really hoping you might be willing to write a post about it to spread the news about it! Angela’s blog here.

We're the McKinney family and are adopting a little girl from Ethiopia. We have created really cute tile necklaces. The front side features a country (ie. Ethiopia, China, El Salvador, Haiti, Russia, and many others). The back side features the words 147 million orphans Minus One glass. We also carry Mocha Club's amazing "I Need Africa More than Africa Needs Me". Shirts are cozy and perfect for everyday wear and especially mission trips. Check us out….

We are the Helf family and are in the process of raising funds to host 2 precious orphans from Latvia in the summer. We first met them back in 2009 during a mission trip and are so excited to have them in our home for the summer. We've teamed up with another host family to do a giveaway fundraiser. We will be giving away an iPad2, Kohl's gift card and other items! Please check it out and thank you so much for the opportunity to share with others! Our blog is http://www.thehelffamily.com.

Hello, Kari's bloggy friends! My name is Randi and Kari just happens to be my BFF!! I had a great time with her in Ethiopia this past February and I am SOO excited to be taking my daughter on a trip to Africa and Rwanda in August!
