Thank you… for partnering with us through another consignment sale. Over $2,000 was raised to help families in the adop on process. When we are asked to speak about fundraising for adop on and our experience with our interna onal adop on, we give the glo‐ry to God and his work through our Laurel family. We rejoice that you not only love our family but also all the children wai ng for families around the world. Your love, faith, and endurance is an inspira on to our family to con nue our call to advocate for orphans.
Sincerely, The Moffe Family Nat, Teresa, Gabe and Chloe
