adoption and red mango

my favs.

Last weekend we went to the National Families Supporting Adoption Conference.
it was a.m.a.z.i.n.g.
I love the renewal of hope, faith, love and excitement that it gives me. We go to church every week to be refueled and rededicated. To me, that is what the FSA Conference does. I love it. Completely refreshing.

While we were there we made a stop at red mango, of course.
I seriously can not get enough.
It is a little expensive, but if you haven't tried it, you need to.
They have the freshest tasting fruit I have ever had. Every time.
My most favorite is Pomegranate frozen yogurt with blueberries and raspberries.
Seriously, the best fruit ever.

Because it is a little pricey and I want you all to try it and I love adoption...
It's a giveaway!

Hooray!

Here are the rules.
First off, if you don't live by a red mango or in the US, you can still enter. We'll work it out! But please enter.

1. If you send my your mailing address to dustynkamieATgmailDOTcom I will send you some pass along cards. (We are getting some new ones so even if you have a few, send me your address) One entry.
2. Add our adoption button to your blog. (or if it's already there that's great too!) One entry.
3. If you tweet or plurk or facebook about our hope to adopt and include our adoption blog: http://dustynkamie.blogspot.com One entry per status update.
4. If you are really brave you can add a snippet about our hope to adopt OR adoption in general in your email signature line. You can also send out an email to everyone you know about adoption/our hope to adopt. Five entries. (let's face it... it takes more guts).
5. Add the "It's About Love" or FSA button on your website. You can find the codes here. One entry.
6. Post about adoption. Anything from a positive youtube video to an article about adoption or your view/opinion about adoption! Every voice helps! Especially the positive voices! Three entries.

7. Talk to someone about adoption. Your neighbor, friend, relative, the grocery store clerk, anyone! You don't have to talk about our hope to adopt, just about adoption as an option for an unplanned pregnancy. Be an adoption advocate. Five entries.

Now here is the important part... leave a comment for each entry! If you get five for talking to someone about adoption, leave five comments.

In one of your comments, leave a question that you have about adoption.

The contest will end Sunday, August 8th at midnight.
Oh... and you'll get a red mango gift card!

I have amazing friends and family. Have I mentioned that lately?
Seriously.
Thank you for donating to our adoption fund!
I can not thank you enough or even begin to tell you how much it means to me.
Very, very humbling.
We are that much closer to our hope to adopt and opening up our options a little more. You guys are amazing.

Thank you.

I have your button up on both of my blogs and I want some of your cards! I blog about adoption at least once a week, does that count? :)

I think I gave you my address for the cards. (I'll email you again). My friend Kristina is throwing me a shower next month and I want to give out pass along cards to everyone who comes!
