My husband and I began the process of an international adoption in July of ’12. After a very hasty process, lots of fundraising, and many prayers, we brought home our three little Ukrainian kiddos in March of ’13. They are now 9, 8, and 5. Not so little, I know. Going from 2 to 5 overnight has been quite an adventure... a "Blissful Frenzy."

It was during this process that I decided to create an Etsy Shoppe for both fundraising and as a hobby to alleviate the abundance of stress that adoption can bring into your life. We are still overwhelmed and humbled by the amount of love and support that we received from our family, friends, and community, even individuals and shops here on Etsy. It is my goal to never forget what God and others have done for us. As a small part of saying thank you to the many people who supported us, this Shoppe will donate 20% of sales to families fundraising for their own adoption.
