Today we attended another training class. We went through and discussed Book 4 in our Deciding Together series (6 books total). We now have Book 5 to complete. We also found out today that we are about to enter the expensive part of the adoption journey. After we complete Book 6, which will be soon, we will be completing our home study. The home study will cost us $1,000.00. This will be divided into two payments: $500.00 due before the home study and the remaining $500.00 due upon completion of the home study. Plus $100.00 for Mike and I ($50.00 each) to have finger printing and background checks done. Basically we are looking at $1,100 in expenses in the next couple of months. This does not include any attorney fees or placement fees that will come a little later on when we are matched with a child. Right now our total from our fundraising is $348.75... so we are still a little on the short side to say the least, but we know that God will provide.
We are continuing with our fundraisers...
We still have our Adoption Bug T-Shirt fundraiser going:

We also still have several copies of our cookbook available:

We are also looking for more Fundraiser ideas. We will gladly host online parties if you are a representative or consultant for a brand that offers online parties and fundraising. Above all please continue to pray for us as we move forward through the adoption process. We have come so far, but still have a long way to go also. Thank you all for your prayers and support and for sharing our journey with us.
