Next time you're on Amazon....

Not going to lie - adoption costs a small fortune.  There are lot of valid reasons why this is the case, which I will not go into here.  There's no doubt that the financial aspect of this adventure has been the hardest thing to grapple with.  Needless to say, the Long family is in full fledged financial lock down.  We are attempting to filter every possibly penny we can into our adoption fund.  We have already been immensely blessed in the last few weeks through a very unexpected gift from friends and some awesome work opportunities.  Even little things like my car repair being covered under warranty and my beloved Sonicare toothbrush miraculously fixing itself have proven to be blessings.  But we know we're going to have to step it up with some creative fundraising ideas. 

So here's a SUPER easy one that you (and everyone you know!) can help with.  The next time you feel compelled to buy something from Amazon, (and who doesn't? I've bought my entire Christmas list from there 2 years running!) please access it through our nifty little link on the right side menu.  A portion of your purchase will go straight into our adoption fund. How ridiculously easy is that?

A few details:
-We will not know who is purchasing, so don't be afraid to load up on neon spandex undergarments or whatever else strikes your fancy!
-You must log in through our link each time you access Amazon in order for the next purchase to count.  Please bookmark us!
-If you put something in your cart but then check out during another session, that will not count :(
-Please feel free to pass this along to your friend, family, coworkers, Facebook feed, Twitter, etc. The more the merrier!
-If you want to post to your blog, let me know - I can get you a cool looking link.
