One of the adoptive moms I've had the pleasure of being in contact with over the years is Tami. She adopted Noah from Taiwan (2008), and is now working to bring her second son, Jeremiah, home from Taiwan to join his brother, sister, mom and dad.
They have worked very, very hard to fundraise for both of these adoptions and are getting very close to needing large amounts of money to cover adoption fees for bringing Jeremiah home. And he needs to get home quickly! He has severe Cerebral Palsy and is just not getting the care he needs in an institutional setting. Having Mommy and Daddy around to love on him will help him thrive- let's help him get home!
I have donated an original painting of mine, Sailboat, to Tami's fundraising auction. Similar paintings of mine have sold for $100- $200. If you ever wanted one of my paintings, now is the time to bid! All of the profit goes directly to bringing Their Froggie Boy Home!
And why is he called their Froggie boy?! F.R.O.G- Fully Rely On God. You've got to love that! I felt like our adoption put us in a great position to learn the truth of how the Lord provides. Doing two adoptions back to back must really impart the truth of how the Lord provides- not cheap, folks!
It goes without saying, but please consider any of the other offerings- not just my painting. Or, if you feel compelled to help but don't care about getting something in return, they have the ability to accept donations that are tax deductible. Every dollar counts.

What a lovely painting and a great prize. Bless your heart for helping Tami and Jeremiah out.
Hi! I read your comment from Dim Sum and Crawfish and I believe the Africans brought the peanuts with them because it is very prevalent in West African cooking. Though might not have really become popular until the late 1880 early 1900's when an educated black agriculutrist wanted to help his people by seeing all the things that could be made from the peaunut plant. Nutella came about because there was a shortage of chocolate and they used the hazelnuts to be a filler to accompany the chocolate.
