Giving Tuesday - Almost 2015$

On this Giving Tuesday, may I please take a few minutes of your time?  It's been 9 months since we started this process of adoption.  Nine months of waiting, gathering information, endless paperwork and lots of anticipation!  We are getting so close to being able to send our dossier off to China - which means we're getting nearer the end!  The only thing we need is our I800A approval from Immigration.   Then our documents go off to be authenticated and then to China!!  Once our dossier has gone China we will wait (an average of 70-100+ days) for approval (known as a Letter of Approval or LOA) to say that we have been approved by China to adopt.  Then we wait for Travel Approval (or TA) but that's a story for a different time.  We are also getting so close to being matched!  This is the really exciting part my friends!! Just think, before the world began God had a plan for our family, He knew that we would one day be on this adoption journey and He knows the exact little girl who is our daughter!  We cannot wait to meet her - CAN.NOT.WAIT!!

Now that we're seeing some light at the end of the tunnel we are launching our (hopefully) last new fundraiser (doesn't that make you happy?). The high cost of adoption is the number 1 reason interested families do not actually pursue their adoption desires! Number 1!! There are many fees that are coming due for us now, agency fees, dossier fees, fees to have your matched approved, etc.  I believe wholeheartedly that our God is able to do all things and I am so excited to see how He will work!!

The badge here will give you a few hints about what it might be but I'm going to roll it out over the month of December with more details each week.  The big day will be January 1, 2015!

It'll be a fun way to start the New Year - one that doesn't involve dieting, exercise or resolutions - lol!! Just 1 day, 1 goal - to bring our precious daughter home to her family! We can't wait to hold her in our arms and show her just how much she is loved and treasured!  2015 will forever be a special year for our family and we invite you to share in our joy!  Until next time my friends . . . Thank You!
