We look forward to filling the farmhouse a little more as we begin our adoption process! We are so excited for the plans the Lord has for us and how He called us to this decision. We are just starting out this blog thing, but we'll work on it soon to share our story and to keep you updated on the process. Please keep us in your prayers and thank you for following our journey!
Our home study is this Friday and we have filled out mounds of paperwork for it. We've had our fingerprints and mailed off for our background checks.
We are planning our first fundraiser with great friends Adam & Jodi Woodden who are also adopting with the same consultants we are using. So mark you calendar for March 13, 5:30pm we will have a full course banquet to help raise some of our adoption costs. We are pursuing a domestic adoption and the costs can range from $9,000 to near $18,000. We are trusting the Lord will provide others to join with us in 'caring for the orphan' by giving towards these costs.
wow - that's so great, God is really calling a lot of people to adopt these days. I pray the whole process will go smooth for you guys - and I know that baby will be so blessed to come to you. Tone
ReplyDeleteI will echo what Tone said!! God bless you both in your journey and I will be praying for you! The child that comes into your family will be extremely blessed in more ways than one and will be a blessing to your household!
