This past Tuesday we had our 2nd meeting with our adoption specialist. We are so excited that our home study is moving quickly and smoothly. We are thankful for an agency that puts Christ first and understands our love for the orphans. Our adoption specialist told us that she plans to have our home study complete by Christmas. What a GREAT Christmas present! At that time, our agency will be able to show our profile to prospective birth mothers. We could be matched at anytime and pray that this will happen quickly and smoothly. Our final home study meeting has been set for December 1st. We have much to do but we are so excited to get to this point.
The completion of our home study means another payment is necessary to the agency. I know that a lot of people complain about the amount of money needed to adopt a child and many do not understand why such an in-depth process is necessary. I don't understand it either, but it is required and I will do what is necessary to walk this path. My Father owns the cattle on a thousand hills, so the $23,500 that is needed to adopt a child domestically is change in His pocket. My God is greater than all the fees and regulations that are needed to adopt a child. He will provide and I try my best to trust in His timing.
Saying that, we are in need of raising around $4800 to make our next payment. We do have some money in our savings account but not that total amount. Please pray with us that God will provide that amount of money so that we can make our payment and be matched with a birth mother as soon as possible. If you would like to make a donation, you can do so on the right hand side of this blog. If you would like to purchase a cookbook, you can do that as well. Any suggestions for a fundraiser would be greatly appreciated.
I look forward to seeing how God provides the money that we need to continue on in our journey.
