Thank you for being willing to help the families list below in need.

This is how I'd like to make it work and make sure each child (and/or family) gets what they need:

If you would like to adopt a certain child, please tell me WHICH FAMILY and WHICH CHILD you want to adopt. Please realize that when you adopt a child, you need to purchase one toy, one book, one treat, and one article of clothing. Each family has answered whether or not they would like used items or wrapping papers. EMAIL ME at amityangeltree at gmail.com (please, no PM's!) When you email me, please state which family #, child # you're wishing to sponsor and INCLUDE YOUR AMITY USERNAME. I will then email you their information.

If you would like to sponsor an ENTIRE family, please let me know which family you'd like to sponsor and I will put them down as TAKEN CARE OF.

If you decide at anytime that you can't fulfill your child or family, PLEASE email me no later than November 8th.

ALL GIFTS must be shipped out no later than December 4, 2009 for US families. I want to say that we are very firm with this mailing date. In the past, some people have waited too long to mail something and the families ended up getting some gifts AFTER the holidays. So I am asking for you to please respect the mailing dates. For international families, your packages must be shipped out no later than Monday, November 23, 2009 to ensure arrival in their country (give or take a month). You must post on the thread AFTER you shipped that you have shipped the packages (and email us the D/C number). DO NOT POST D/C NUMBERS ONLINE AS PEOPLE MAY BE ABLE TO FIND OUT WHO THE FAMILIES ARE. Please include D/C numbers only your email correspondence with me.

If you cannot send gifts but can send PayPal, it will be appreciated. Funded PayPal is amityangeltree at gmail.com Please mark it as a “GIFT” so that fees will not be taken out. Any monetary donations will buy needed items (for children who haven't been gifted.) If we have excess, we will refund your money.

Please note that not all families celebrate Christmas so they will list it.
Everything will be anonymous and the only people that know about your needs are Wendi, me, and the people who are sending your family something.

Once again, many, many thanks for helping make this event successful for all!

PLEASE UNDERSTAND: I cannot give out usernames since this is confidential.

Again, to keep records visible for Wendi and me, please do not PM us. Email us at amityangeltree at gmail dot com .
