Prayer Requests Posted about almost 8 years ago

Good morning folks! I have a list of prayer requests today! 1. That travel dates will come through and be BEFORE school starts. :) 2. That provision will continue to come! Donations have been plentiful and we now have enough to pay all of our agency fees. We are now just working on our Bulgaria fees for this leg of the journey. We need about $2600 still for that. 3. That I will find some relief...

Blog Update Posted about about 8 years ago

Today John is taking the final documents to Richmond to be authenticated.  This is the last step before we send large sums of money and a million papers to Bulgaria.  It's the very last part of the dossier process!  I blogged about how adoption is affecting our lives today at www.joel2twentyfive.com

Update! Posted about over 8 years ago

We are underway with our home study.  There are about 5 million papers to fill out and track down.  I'm nervous about it, because I'm surely NOT a detail-focused, organized kind of girl.  Things are going along though and we are grateful for all the support we've received.  Lila is having a fundraiser on Friday the 25th, from 5-8.  She's having a bake sale/art sale. She is very excited about it...
