We are super excited to announce that we have completed 3 of the 4 required interviews for our Home Study! By the end of September our entire home study process will be complete!
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
1. It means we will be able to send off our home study documents to immigration and apply for our 1-800A immigration document, necessary for our dossier.
2. It also means we will need to raise an additional $2,000 through all of our adoption fundraising efforts to cover the cost of agency fee B, as well as the cost of the 1-800A document. If you have been planning to donate, but have been waiting, now would be a great time to make your donation. You can give in person or Donate online at our youcaring.com page.
3. Once the home study is completed at the end of September, we can start applying for adoption grants! This is a BIG prayer point!
WAIT! THERE'S MORE!
Below is a list of awesome ways you can help support our fundraising effort! We are so thankful for your support during these early months of our "paperwork pregnancy." :) Once we pay for our completed home study and our immigration document (1-800A), it will be time to send our dossier to China!! This will be our next expense of approximately $5,000!
Soon after the dossier is sent to China we will be able to start receiving referrals of waiting children in Chinese orphanages!! Once the Lord reveals our daughter to us we will be raising the remaining funds (close to $20,000) for travel and finalization expenses. We are praying that we receive a significant amount of grant money to help cover this! Again, Big prayer point!
