Dear Friends,

As many of you know, our adoption path has been rerouted. You can read more about that process HERE (update 1) and HERE (update 2). We can not wait to bring our sweet girl home.

If you would like to have a part in our adventure, please consider participating in our puzzle fundraiser. The puzzle (pictured above) is 108 pieces. We need a sponsor for each piece. If you decide to sponsor a piece, your name will be written on the back of the piece. Once completed, the puzzle will hang in a double-sided frame, so we can take it down from time to time and remember those who helped bring our daughter home. 

There are 108 envelopes below. Pick an envelope and choose your donation amount. Your name will appear on the envelope.

We will try to keep the blog updated with photos of the puzzle as pieces are sponsored and as Elijah and Simon piece it together.

Thank you so, so much.

Grace and Peace,

The Brainerd Family
