Is having a fundraiser tacky?????

Karenanne, In my opinion, it is not tacky. Do what you have to do to bring home your child. I feel badly about some of the responses you have received. You asked a simple question which required a simple answer. This does not require a sermon made to belittle you or your question. On behalf of the rest of us, I am sorry and hope you are able to do what is needed to add to your family. I will PM you a list of fundraising ideas. We are in the middle of a fundraiser right now. It is going amazingly well! We are not rich or able to take out loans for our adoption. This is one of the only ways for us to raise so much money in such a short time. We have received wonderful responses about our fundraiser from everyone we know. They do not think it is tacky or horrible as some will lead you to believe. No one is forcing or guilting anyone into buying anything or donating anything. They are free to give or to say no thank-you. I wish you the best! Sam
