I sent Brandy a note to see if this is ok but if another cm can look at it and take care of it if isn't that would be great.

I'm unclear why they are using Caringbridge since that org. is dedicated to families with ill children? Suz...you are familiar with this, does it sound right they would use Caringbridge in efforts to bring their dd home?
The donation part goes directly to Caringbridge and not to the family, if I'm reading the site correctly. It's a tribute to the girl's name, so money given in honor of her goes to benefit Caringbridge.
Since he is not asking for money and the site is a 501, I'm okay with it.
ah ha!!! I missed that!
No...we can't allow fundraising for an adoption process. I am sure it's for their living expenses, travel etc. while waiting to get her home, but that is still an adoption related expense and if we allow that for him, we'd have to allow it for any kind of adoption fundraising....
Thanks for catching that!:)

I actually find it odd that they are using "CaringBridge" for this purpose. It's supposed to be to keep people in touch in times of illness or hospitalization (at least that's how everyone I know uses it). I thought maybe their child in China was medically fragile but I didn't see anything when I glanced through it quickly. Maybe they are just using it as a blog/website. Anywhoo It sounds like you guys already figured everything out without me!
Did a little research and these are all the reasons you can have a caringbridge site:
Cancer treatment
Premature birth
Organ transplant
Military deployment
War injury
Hospice care
Chronic illness
Stroke
Hospitalization
Rehabilitation
Recovery
International adoption
Now I hope you all feel educated and enlightened by ME :)!
