Hey everyone!!
Not much to update as of yet, we are just working on our Dossier and waiting on states to come back to finish up our home study; our portion of the homestudy has been done for some time now, but we have to wait on everything else for it to officially be completed.
We have yet to raise money using AdoptTogether, but we have raised funds in other ways and we do offer many ways to help us fundraise! We will add that list at the bottom!
When we started this page, we went by word of mouth that our adoption would cost roughly $35,000 which is what our goal was set to. Upon proper calculations, we realized it will cost around $43,417; all travel related costs and post adoption visits included. Such a large and scary number! All this said, we have such an amazing God who has been providing for us every step of the way so far, and between our own finances pushing into our adoption, fundraising as hard as we can, taking little side jobs, and an amazing $4,000 grant that will hit at the end of our adoption; we have raised $8,546.50! Only $34,870.50 to go! God is so good!
Today we are taking our littles to a birthday party and going to enjoy the day with them, but next week we have so many things going on to push funds into our adoption and we really hope you join in on all the fun! Prayers, cares, and shares are just so important to our family; especially our babies over in eastern Europe. Thank y'all so much for taking the time to read this, we pray that you have an amazing week and that you see the beauty of God, especially in the hard times.
Psalm 46:1-3 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.
