Treats for Africa

In an effort to raise money for our international adoption. Our family is making and selling cake pops.
What are cake pops? Well let me tell you, They are cake and icing mixed together, put on a stick, covered in chocolate and then decorated with candies and sprinkles. Yum.



Bride and Groom pops
Christmas Trees pops

Christmas Bucket

Reindeer pops
I am currently taking orders for Valentine's Day, birthday parties, any special celebration. The cost is $1.50 per cake pop. These are really great for class parties. Easy to bring and easy to clean up. More pictures to come. Thank you for your support.

Merry Christmas

    I have spoken to MOT yesterday and have found out that yes they do have our homestudy. Which is good because now I don't have to try and track it down. I also asked when they will be sending our profile and dossier over to South African? They told me in the new year. This was good news to me. I hope by the new year they mean January and not like later into the year.
    Also there is an update on MOT website that a family has received a referral. This is such good news to see that something is actually happening. I am rejoicing with this family even though I don't know who they are. I am also hoping for more referral soon for everyone that is waiting.
    I was thinking last night that maybe it's not the waiting that is the hard part. I think it is the uncertainty and not knowing a due date. when you are pregnant you know you will wait 9 months. With adoption you don't really have a due date so you are always kinda thinking maybe soon.
    Please continue to pray for us, our children both here and there and all the families waiting. We want to wish you a very Merry Christmas from our family to yours. Love Dilly
