+Woodland Clan Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Our adoption request just went out. We had a lot of fun designing the page for this cacher and their surprise coin. We hope they like it. The coin we chose was not on their seeking list. They posted on their geocaching profile that they really wanted this coin. TB1TAJV THANK YOU so much ! You all need to check out the coinpage they´ve designed for me and my coin. It´s absolutely great ! The little boy giving the coin a kiss for luck just makes me go ahhhhhhh. They even manage to get some swedish in there too and a flag WOW THANK YOU Woodland Clan TB1TAJV We dropped your coin off today. Snapped a few photos too. Quote Link to comment

+knabino Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 count me in! I got a few doing the rounds already like that - it's very fun! The lizard has nearly made it to kayakerinme after a year. I'm still waiting on an adoption from mrbeachroach Has round 2 been set up or is that closed already too? (I always seem to be slow) Quote Link to comment
+ThirstyMick Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 (edited) I'm an idiot. I totally forgot to send the adoption request! Doh! The coin is all ready for travel though! Edited March 7, 2008 by ThirstyMick Quote Link to comment

Just send me a mail with your caching name and the destination for the coin you're going to receive. I'm just waiting for a few more signups before creating the actual matchups. Quote Link to comment

+stickerooni Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Question...is it okay or acceptable to "discover" the coin we send out after it's been adopted by the new owner? We did, after all, have it in our hands before it traded ownership.... Quote Link to comment

Not only does that give you the icon, it also allows you to drop the coin in a new cache... I love the coin you selected for me! I hope it makes it overhere in record time! Quote Link to comment

I guess I will have to discover or retrieve it from the first cache and drop it back in. I can't 'grab' it because I still have it. Quote Link to comment
+stickerooni Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I just went through and placed all the coins listed in my watch list. I look forward to seeing how the coins do and who manages to capture their own coin first. I'm setting out some new caches later this week and will drop my traveller then ... lots of FTFers around here which will guarantee a quick pick-up. Quote Link to comment

+BVnLJ Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 WOW and Thank you Dorsetgal & GeoDog !!! You don't know how much I appreciate the choice of coin you gave up for adoption. During the last few months of my moms life she was in the hospital, nursing home, hospital, nursing home, and finally back to the hospital for hospice. During that time my niece had given her a stuffed lady bug for some good luck and she had that little guy with her the whole time. I have been trying to get one from ebay with no success. I truly appreciate the adoption of this coin. You even set up the page with ladybug wallpaper I hope you are up and feeling better soon !!

+stickerooni Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I'm very sad that the coin that I sent out was taken to the mega event in St. Louis and there it sits, still! I had it tucked into a large piece of form board specifically so that it wouldn't get lost. If any of you attended that event (or any event) ... please make sure to log the coins and bugs you pick up! Quote Link to comment
