Adoption Update

Dear Family & Friends:

THANK YOU!! With your amazing generosity we have raised 50% of the funds we need to complete our adoption and bring our son into our family in just 5 weeks! We are humbled by your commitment to support us financially in our journey!

Just this week we were accepted as an official Cradle Family and we will be able to complete our Illinois home study update with this amazing agency that has been helping place children with loving families for 89 years!! (http://www.cradle.org/)

While we are working on our home study update, we will also be working on our dossier, the paperwork we will need to give the Ugandan government. We are working closely with Holt International the agency that will actually facilitate our adoption on this. (http://www.holtinternational.org/uganda/)

As many of you know, we have partnered with AdoptTogether, a brand new non-profit that exists to help families that want to adopt with raising the funds they need to adopt. We are their very first family and we have been able to start coaching some other families that are looking to work with them as well. (http://adopttogether.org/)

While our fundraising is going amazing so far, our agency has set a goal of $19,000 for us before we can move forward with the next part of our home study update. This means we need to raise at least $2,000 as quickly as possible. If you have not contributed financially would you consider donating now? http://adopttogether.org/thewittigs/

Also, would you consider talking to your family and friends and sharing our story on social media? We have had several donations from the friends of our friends already and are amazed by people’s generosity!!

Thank you so much for your encouragement, prayers, and financial support!! Without all of you we could not be moving towards our son so quickly!!

We love you all!

Andrea & Mark
