Steve and Stephanie Johnson need about $19,000 to fulfill their dream of adopting a little girl from China. Because they don't have the money on hand, they've had to get creative in thinking of ways to raise the money. This Saturday, they're having a garage sale.

"For the last three weeks, the garage and basement of their Ellis Street home have been stocked with clothing, bicycles, exercise equipment, appliances, toys and other items donated by friends from throughout Wisconsin and from as far away as Minneapolis and Kansas."

The Johnsons expect to have their adoption file sent to China by late June or early July. Twelve to eighteen months after that, they hope to be matched with a little girl. Read more at StevensPointJournal.com.

When your adopted child grows up, a boarding school may be the best option for you and your family. Find the best boarding schools at BoardingSchoolsInfo.com.
