Update

I have been asked where are we financially so here it is...

I am not sure who reads my blog but I want to say thank you to those who do! It means a lot that you are supporting us in this adventure to bring Brennan home. He is a very loved boy by so many and it makes me so very happy to tell him about everyone who supported us in bringing him home. Everyone will be part of his story. I will make a beautiful book for him for when he gets older with everything in it about who and how he came to be a Barrett!

First, let me detail out all expenses for adoption that have been paid up to this point by myself (with the help of the fundraisers I did).
Fundraisers - Tupperware, 2 Online Auctions, 2 Yard Sales, Candles, Bucks for Brennan page, sold Tshirts, and a Barn Dinner and Dance.

A great friend has offered the following - Horse riding lessons for any age, child or teen or adult. All supplied provided! $25 per lesson. 

This is where my Barn Dinner and Dance was held. 100% of proceeds from the first 3 lessons booked will go toward our adoption!
