My friends Axel and Michelle (a French-American couple I met here in Paris, who currently live in Dubai) have announced that they are planning to adopt a little boy from Ecuador! As you can imagine, the costs associated with any foreign adoption are considerable: travel costs, legal fees, adoptions fees.
To help offset some of those costs, they have set up a Zazzle shop to sell their incredible photos that they've taken in their travels (they are both talented photographers). I thought I'd help them broaden their message and hopefully reach their adoption goals by sharing this with all of you, as well as through my other social media connections. You might find some very unique holiday gifts!
Axel and Michelle will make the most wonderful parents and I'm so happy for them, and for this very special little boy who is so fortunate as to have them as his parents. Now - let's help them become a FAMILY! Shop, shop, shop!

Original Message from Axel, with link to their shop:
"My wife and I are adopting a little boy from an orphanage in Quito. The agency, travel, and lawyer costs are exorbitant. To raise money for the adoption we are now selling our photos and designs at Zazzle.
So, while you're shopping for Christmas, take a look at what we have at our store, and help us bring our son home!"
