Brighton is our fourth adoption in five years and we have been so blessed by our children and those that have helped us along the way to bring them home.<br />Adoption is no small task and the money is only one part. <br />PLEASE consider a 10, 25, 50, (or any amount) donation to our little girl.<br />***If you want a tax deduction***<br />Please mail your check to<br /><br />Kingdom Kids Adoption Ministry<br />1417 North Lincoln Street<br />Spokane, WA 99201<br />USA <br />OR use this link:<br /><a href="https://www.kingdomkidsadoption.org/308208.ihtml">https://www.kingdomkidsadoption.org/308208.ihtml</a><br /><br />DON"T you want to see me bald?????<br /><br />Kelly-- proud momma to Brighton ~~~<br />who would gladly go with NO HAIR for her!!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1304245775717996105-376228402495695875?l=brightonsvillage.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kellynoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304245775717996105.post-31038871590901335932009-05-19T07:34:00.001-07:002009-05-19T07:34:53.262-07:00<object width="250" height="250"><param name="movie" value="http://widget.chipin.com/widget/id/c6cf2417bbb28639"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="event_desc" value="If%20we%20can%20raise%20%245%2C000.00%20by%20June%2011-%20i%20will%20shave%20my%20head%20like%20Brighton%27s.%20%20This%20is%20all%20sheaved%20except%20a%20small%20fringe%20for%20bangs."></param><param name="color_scheme" value="red"></param><embed src="http://widget.chipin.com/widget/id/c6cf2417bbb28639" flashVars="event_desc=If%20we%20can%20raise%20%245%2C000.00%20by%20June%2011-%20i%20will%20shave%20my%20head%20like%20Brighton%27s.%20%20This%20is%20all%20sheaved%20except%20a%20small%20fringe%20for%20bangs.&color_scheme=red" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="always" wmode="transparent" width="250" height="250"></embed></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1304245775717996105-3103887159090133593?l=brightonsvillage.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kellynoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304245775717996105.post-80819298208464871932009-03-29T17:55:00.000-07:002009-03-29T17:56:29.123-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r71kT7xTp5I/SdAYsT0jGDI/AAAAAAAAADw/4PpNv9GlnLU/s1600-h/DSCF4611.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r71kT7xTp5I/SdAYsT0jGDI/AAAAAAAAADw/4PpNv9GlnLU/s320/DSCF4611.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318778309438543922" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1304245775717996105-8081929820846487193?l=brightonsvillage.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kellynoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304245775717996105.post-82471460942144320782009-03-29T17:45:00.000-07:002009-03-29T17:48:54.281-07:00This was just posted by my agency CHina representative and friend, Stefani--<br />thank you---<br /><br />I think we need a birthday party, don't you?! It is my 45th birthday tomorrow on 3/30 and I share it with some of our delightful CHI children. There will be lots of presents, cake and frosting to be sure for many of us. But one of them is still waiting to get home and her family needs a little help in collecting the funds. She is still waiting for her turn to be Belle of the Ball.<br /><br />I would really, truly, expressly love it to see us have a birthday party that would bring some cheer to our cyber family and funds for Brighton's adoption fund.<br /><br />Can we see a huge donation of cheer? I bet we sure can! To put on a party we need decorations. Who can help? What we'll do is donate the money and figuratively decorate our ballroom. Please look at the price list and see what you can contribute! We'll need LOTS of decorations so pick what you can help with. If you can think of anything else I missed make sure to let the group know.<br /><br />Balloons $5<br />Streamers $5<br />Punch $10<br />Party Hats $10<br />Party Blowers $10<br />Gift Bags $20<br />Presents $20<br />Disco Ball $50<br />Multi tied Birthday Cake, each tier is $15...how many tiers high can we built it???<br /><br /><br />I know we can have the Ball of the Year!! Lets see just how much fun we can create. When you have "purchased" your item, please post to let us know so we can all imagine our glittering ballroom.<br /><br />Stefani Ellison<br />China Program Coordinator<br />Children's House International<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1304245775717996105-8247146094214432078?l=brightonsvillage.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kellynoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304245775717996105.post-12951029670004328582009-02-18T09:27:00.000-08:002009-02-18T09:38:15.397-08:00<span style="font-weight:bold;">Adoption means stepping out of our comfort zone.</span><br /><br />I have a friend online that reached <br />far out of her comfort zone to accept <br />a child with a limb difference. <br />This little boy bounced from one waiting<br />child list to another before he captured <br />Lisa's heart. After a rough trip through <br />Ch*ina, the family is home and heading into<br />a season of trials concerning Zac's medical<br />issues.<br /><br />Lisa is head over heels in love with her new son and <br />she will go to the ends of the earth for him.<br />Right now, she is fighting devestating medical diagnosis<br />and an insurance company she has had to fight <span style="font-style:italic;">every step of the way</span>.<br />Family is far away and she is feeling an incredibly<br />large hole being created day by day in medical expenses..<br /><br />Brighton's Village is ready to stand in the gap for Lisa and Zac!<br />I am posting a chip-in link to help the family financially.<br /><br />No, we are not a non-profit so I cannot offer you a tax deduction.<br />Yes- you have to trust me that I will forward all monies to Lisa.<br /><br />PLEASE-- a dollar or two can buy a burger or a much needed cup of Joe.<br />She NEEDS help and I know BV will help her!<br /><br />I will keep everyone abreast of Zac's progress as Lisa meets with the teams<br />of doctors. He will be seeing neurosurgery, genetics, orthopedics among others..<br />Lisa will be away from her home for days at a time and she will need loads of help.<br />Monetary donations are one way Brighton's Village can help Lisa and Zac!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1304245775717996105-1295102967000432858?l=brightonsvillage.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kellynoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304245775717996105.post-32156494289487269462008-05-01T08:08:00.001-07:002009-02-18T09:49:57.698-08:00<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1304245775717996105-3215649428948726946?l=brightonsvillage.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kellynoreply@blogger.com1
