Hello,
My name is Eric Griffith. My wife Jana and I have been trying to have
children for the past four years, but to no avail. We have been
through numerous medical tests, and while there hasn't been found
anything wrong, we have still been unable to conceive. We are now
looking into adoption as a way of sharing our lives with a young
person. We have already ancountered a hurdle...the cost...as I'm
certain many of you are aware. I am a pastor and my wife is a
pre-school teacher, we have incurred substantial debt getting me
through seminary, and now while we are no means in financial trouble,
we know that immediately coming up with the subtantial outlay of money
to afford an adoption will pose a huge hurdle. We are already
investigating the grant possibilities out there as well as the
feasability of going yet deeper into debt.

Some folks suggested the possibility of fundraising, and so I came up
with an idea that would help and not actually cost those helping a
thing out of their pockets. (Actually it just might save a bit for
you.) I am hesitant to ask, but I have been encouraged to do so, as by
not asking I will be guaranteed that no help will be forthcoming. GTC
Telecom is a long distance phone service provider. 24/7 they provide
$.05 / minute rates with no special numbers to call. Their monthly fee
is $1.95, with even that being waived if one opts to pay by credit
card each month. For each person that opts to use their service, GTC
will pay a commission to us for your choosing to do so. Their website
is:

(please enter the entire URL as it appears above, otherwise we receive
no credit)

I thought of this for two reasons:
1) It doesn't actually cost folks anything out of their pockets to
help.
2) It's actually of a real value. Jana and I already use GTC for our
own service and thus far their service has been impeccable.

For those of you who are willing to help, Thank You so much. I hope I
have not offended anyone by asking. Peace to you all.
-Eric
