Adoption Doughnut Day



I am so excited to kick off our very first fundraiser to help bring our baby girl home! And what better way to do it than eating Krispy Kreme doughnuts?

Our "Adoption Doughnut Day" will be Saturday, May 4th. We are pre-selling glazed doughnuts ($7 per dozen) now through April 26th.

If you would like to place a glazed doughnut order to help with our adoption expenses, please send me an email at lauraloman@yahoo.com to let me know how many boxes you'd like.

On Saturday, May 4th, you will pick up your doughnuts at our home anytime between 6:00-10:00am. If you do not live in our area, consider purchasing a certificate from us, redeemable for one dozen glazed doughnuts at any Krispy Kreme location (Metairie, Baton Rouge, and throughout the US). Simply indicate in your email that you are purchasing a certificate rather than a dozen to pick up. Certificates make a great gift idea as well! We can mail these certificates to you at no charge.

You can pay for your doughnuts one of two ways. Either mail a check, made out to Seamus Loman, to 70452 Hwy. 21, Suite 200-130, Covington, LA 70433 or click on the "donate" button  in the righthand column of this blog. Simply enter the cost ($7 times the number of boxes/certificates you order) and donate through paypal or with a credit card. Please be sure to write "Doughnut Day" on the donation description. (If you are viewing this on a smartphone or other mobile device, you will need to go to the bottom of this page and click on "view web version" in order to locate the "donate" button on the right)

Please consider ordering a dozen glazed doughnuts for our Doughnut Day! We will be serving complimentary freshly-brewed coffee at our home that morning! I mean, really... how can you resist?


Please help us spread the word! Feel free to post this link on your facebook page, your blog, or email to everyone you know! :-) Thank you for your support!!

Consulate Appointment and Shamian Island

Image
Today was a very busy day. We are finally back in the room and the VPN is on! Quick... type before it erases! Some families had their consulate appointments yesterday so we chilled during that. Last night was the dinner cruise and Samuel and I skipped it. So glad I made that call because we were both tuckered out very early. We did go to the Noodle House with 2 other families for dinner (the other 2 families whose spouses aren't with them either). It was delicious and dirt cheap. Double score! This morning we took our tour bus to the American Embassy where I swore an oath and Samuel was officially approved for his U.S. Visa! We returned to the hotel for about 15 minutes, enough time to potty and repack the diaper bag. Then it was off to Shamian Island, one of my favorite places in Guangzhou. It's a quaint little island with shops and restaurants. We ate lunch at "Lucy's" right when we arrived. They cater to westerners and serve things like hamburgers and grilled c...

We Haven't Forgotten

We were so blessed to attend our local "Run for One" event last night. Wonderful people came out to support Lifeline's ministry and specifically to rally for "Rafe," the little one we continue to advocate for. The Pounders family organized the entire thing and it was a huge success! You can read more about "Run for One" HERE. If you weren't able to join us last night but would still like to register, in order to support the work of Lifeline and receive a really cool t-shirt, you can click on "run where you are" and sign up. As I mentioned, last night's run was in honor of Rafe. This is an opportunity for me to share, again, who this amazing child is. Rafe is a little boy who lives in an orphanage in China. He has no one to call "Mama" or "Baba." He was born with Down Syndrome and a congenital heart defect, left abandoned, and remains in this circumstance with little hope. The Lord put his precious face in front of...

Travel to China... Third Time's a Charm?

Image
I wish this was the "TRAVEL APPROVAL" post but we are still many months away. We are currently (still) waiting for immigration approval (sigh). Our best guess is that travel will occur in March or April. That doesn't mean, however, that we haven't spent hours talking, contemplating, praying over the details that involve travel. Specifically, who will go this time, what is the best scenario for our family? China requires that we are there for about 2 weeks. There's no way around this and in some ways we are grateful. During our time there, we take every opportunity we can to immerse ourselves in the culture and retain as much as possible to share with our children later. The trip is not easy though. It's long and exhausting. The jet lag alone is enough to make a person sick for weeks. The emotional toll of meeting your child and dealing with her trauma is intense. The paperwork, site seeing, meetings with government officials, all while being clueless about wha...
