If I can't get two kids to smile in a picture, what will I do with three (or even four!) Haha!!We are busy, busy, busy.
Life has been a bit crazy these past few months. We had an AMAZING fundraiser hosted by my mother-in-law and sister-in-law in CT. It was awesome, like seriously awesome! We were showered with love from many of their friends, including people we personally had never met before. We were completely blown away.
After that, we headed home to participate in a yard sale for local families who are adopting. It was a rainy, cold day, but people still came out:) This was their second annual yard sale. I am praying for more sun next year!! It really is incredible how many families in our area have adopted, or are in the process of adopting. We have a full support system around us.
As of now we have raised over $7,500! It is incredible!! We know that God will provide the finances for our adoption in HIS timing. We are just along for the ride.
We headed south for a much needed family vacation with our best friends. When we returned home, there was a huge envelope in our mail pile....I was giddy with excitement as I ripped it open........OUR HOMESTUDY IS COMPLETE!!!!
Family Time...yes, please!!Quite the awesome welcome home present if you ask me! So now we have sent off more paperwork to our agency. We have officially signed contracts with our agency and now with our home study, we can apply for grants! Yeah!! This is huge!!
What are our next steps??
- Apply for our I-600A - This is the US gov't saying we are allowed to adopt....we needed the home study to do this
- Start applying for grants
