Many of the items recommended are available to buy through my Amazon aStore. The proceeds for my aStore (and the ads located on this site) go to a fund to support a child we hope to possibly adopt in the future. If our adoption does not come to fruition, the funds will be passed on to Shaohannah’s Hope to help another family who is looking to adopt.
