Checking in with an adoption update. We have now found an agency to work with us as we move forward in our adoption plans. We are working on the initial application to adopt a girl from Eastern Europe that is on a waiting child list. If we can get it done and back to the agency by Friday, our application will be before the foreign governmental officials on Tuesday! Wow, this is moving fast. This first step is an expense of about $2,500, so if anyone feels like contributing to this awesome cause ... please do so. :)
Also, if you would rather donate items or crafts for sale on our Ebay or Etsy pages, please contact us or leave a comment with your e-mail address and we will get back to you discuss how that might work.
If any of you have experience with adoption internationally, please feel free to comment with other fundraiser ideas.
And last, but absolutely not least, we appreciate everyone's prayers as we move forward in this process.
This is moving fast. Praying the Lord will provide for the expenses for this. You and Tony will be awesome parents. How old is the child?

ReplyDeleteYes. It is moving fast. Glad, but a little overwhelmed at times. The girl we are waiting for match approval on is 10 years old. Wish we could give more information right now, but I can say that from info we have gotten so far, she is a real sweetie!
T-shirts, coffee, my 31, pampered chef, lots of stuff online to sell for adoption. Jewelry, etc.
