Hey guys I just wrote an update on the blog...so you can check it out for a more in-depth update, but....We are sending in our first program fee and papers as soon as Pure Charity releases the funds!! This is all possible thanks to YOU!   We are still needing about $2400 to fully move forward with the home study, background checks, etc, but Matt's real estate office is hosting a big silent auction and show and whatever we make from that will go into a fund for us and then the global office will match that. So we are praying that we get more than what we immediately need so that it can go towards the next set of costs that will come after the home study. We are getting closer to fully diving into the mounds of paperwork.   It felt so good to get a pen out and all my organizing stuff and start labeling and signing the first round this week. I know it will get harder and more in depth as we go, but it makes me feel like I am doing something to bring that child closer to my arms. My heart is already aching and I haven't even seen a face yet. I'm gonna be a mess ha.     Anyway, I wanted to update you all and thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We couldn't do this without you.     read more about our auction and hear some other cool fundraising news here http://www.wanderershearth.com/2016/03/11/adoption-silent-auction-in-need-of-donations/
