I absolutely loved everyone’s project. We were talking about the fact that there is so much information beneath the surface of the project. Our little scrapbooks and artifacts represent a fraction of the information that was learned.
I was personally touched by the presentations that were given. I am amazed at the touching stories that were shared. I really struggled with my topic. What I really wanted to do eluded me. I knew that I really wanted to do something with our adoption, but I was unsure about how to go about that. We have to make a scrapbook to share with the birthmothers. I tried and tried to figure out how I could go about writing my adoption scrapbook and multi-genre project at the same time. I decided since I needed resources that maybe I should just pick something that was fun and could be used in my classroom since there are no books written about me that I could use as a reference. Now that I am finished with Elvis, I am going to start on a multi-genre scrapbook about my husband and I to share with our birthmother about who we are. After watching the multi-genre projects that were presented this evening I have a better grasp of how that I could do my adoption scrapbook. Thank you ladies, you have given me inspiration!
Hey just a quickie question… does anyone know of any great fundraising ideas that my husband and I can do to raise money for our adoption? Someone told us that we needed to do a raffle or have a dinner. Any ideas would be appreciated. We need to pay over $10,000 for the adoption. Every penny is well worth it, but we don’t have an extra $10,000 laying around. I hate to ask, but I am already working two jobs and we are saving every penny. Thanks!
