BOURBON � Ball Auction in Bourbon is having a special auction on Dec. 7 at 1:30 p.m. in the Park Pavilion.
�My husband and I are trying to adopt a little girl in Rio de Janeiro,� Jane Spangle said. �It�s been a four-year process. We are having the auction to raise money for the expenses.�
The Spangles already have one successful non-U.S. adoption. Their Nate � Nathaniel Joseph Spangle � came to them from Russia, the Black Sea area, in 1997.
�It will take 45 days down there,� she said. �Andy has the time off, with Family Leave, but that�s non-paid. So we need to pay for expenses. It comes to $1,500 a piece.�
The auction will include donated items, household goods, �. . . all kinds of things,� Jane said.
�We have farm tractor toys, a washer and dryer set, another dryer, sewing machines . . . People have been donating to us and we�re still accepting donations.�
An international adoption agency based in Evansville is handling details. The paperwork must be submitted by January.
�This process is a first for us,� she said. �The first time, with Nate, we went through the church.�
Jane is 33, Andy is 32. They�ve been married a decade.
�This would complete our family,� she said.
Anyone who wishes to donate to the auction can contacting the Spangles at (574) 342-6106.
