I just received the first copy of our home study today! Oh, my! This is getting really real and extremely exciting! Through so many gracious donations and fundraisers we have already finished our first home study fee and are only $3,000 away from our second home study fee! Once this fee is paid, we will be a waiting family and be able to apply for funding for the second half of the costs. If you have considered donating at all - this is truly the time! We have been extremely blessed to have raised $11,000 through our community, fundraising, family, friends, and church. This has been an incredible experience and we can see God's hand in this entire process. We trust the final $3,000 will come in God's timing and we will be officially waiting for our baby!Thank you, dear friends for every dollar, prayer, and encouraging word! You are loved and cherished by our family!
