In my last post, I mentioned that I had updated the “Fees” page here on the blog. We cannot tell you how amazed we are at the amount of money that we’ve raised/saved for this adoption. We knew going into the process that we certainly did NOT have an extra $30,000 – 35,000 laying around. We knew that God would have to provide, and He certainly HAS . . . through many of YOU!
We’re excited to announce that we have spent $20,000 so far on this adoption, and we’ve never had a fee due that we could not pay. Fees are divided up and due at different points along the way, and we’ve always had just enough money for the next check . . . AMAZING! We mailed our referral acceptance documents to AGCI yesterday, and with them went a check for $4,550.00. We were SO thankful to have the funds to write that check and know that the only remaining expenses are travel costs and post-placement costs!!!
Since writing the check for the referral fees, our adoption fund is pretty much back down to zero. We still have about $13,000 to raise/save for those expenses. That figure seems a little daunting, but we truly believe that God will continue to provide the money when it’s needed.
If you’re interested in helping us get our little boy home, please feel free to contact us for information on how to contribute OR click the “Donate” button at the top of the blog. We also still have 57 “Show Love” T-shirts left. There are limited amounts and sizes available, so click HERE and view the drop down boxes for more information. They are $20 for adult sizes and $12 for kids’ sizes, and they’re super soft and comfortable. All of the money will go straight towards airfare and in-country expenses.
Thank you so much for your prayers and financial support. Once we’re finally able to post full pictures, many of you will be able to look at his sweet face and know that YOU played a part in his story. For that we will be forever grateful! And since I can’t show you his face, I’ll leave you with a picture of his little toes and him posing with “his” ball! . . .
