Here's your second chance to put those losing Powerball numbers to use and for a good cause! We can't promise millions...but we can promise some "sparkle".
In honor of the Chinese New Year, we are having a Red Envelope fundraiser! There are 100 red envelopes numbered 1-100. Choose any envelope(s) you want and donate the corresponding dollar amount. For example, if you choose the # 53 envelope, you donate $53.
If the envelope you want is already taken, you can select multiple envelopes to total that amount. We will be using our YOUCARING site to collect funds.
Donate Here
Please leave a comment or email with the envelope number you select so I can remove the envelope ASAP (example: "I'm choosing envelope 53"). You can also donate anonymously, if you wish.
Because these are physical envelopes hanging on our wall, I will be posting updates so you know what envelopes are still available. This will also allow you the opportunity to include a special note, verse, or scripture for our son. We will put the note in the envelope and read it to him when he is older. It will be awesome to share with him how his journey home was made possible by so many people.
We added a fun incentive to this fundraiser!! Our fall Premier Designs Jewelry Party was also a success and we earned 4 pieces of beautiful jewelry. Our children have randomly choose 4 envelopes that will house these pieces of jewelry. If you pick one of those envelopes, you get the jewelry...and just in time for Valentine's day! Keep it for yourselves or share it with your sweetheart! Take a peek at these pretty pieces!

What is the Chinese New Year?
The Chinese New Year, also know as the Spring festival, has been celebrated for centuries and signifies New Beginnings. This is a time when families travel great distances for reunions with large feasts. CNY begins on February 8th, and lasts for two weeks.
There are many traditions to partake in, one of which is receiving Red Envelopes. Children receive lucky money in RED ENVELOPES from their adult relatives and sometimes family friends.
ADOPTION UPDATE:
Our Dossier is almost complete. It will be sealed in Pierre and with a few stops along the way will eventually make it to China. Once there, it will be logged in and approved and we then just wait for our travel plans. We are on the waiting referral list. A phone call with our son's file could be a day away or a few months. But, we are content in the waiting process and know God's timing is unfolding at proper pace.
So, the Kaemingk Crew wishes you great "luck" in choosing your numbers! Thanks for supporting us along the adoption journey and for being a part of something big. ;)
