Homestudy to begin in TWO weeks and our first donation!!!

During this process so far I have read on many blogs about the insane amount of paperwork that is involved in adopting. I have been preparing myself fo it and it has come. I have officially been sent everything I will need to fill out or have others fill out and it truely is crazy!  I am trying to take it one baby step at a time knowing that it will all get done in time. It is at the same time so exciting because we are getting closer each day to bringing our little one home! Only 2 more weeks until our homestudy begins!!
Last night some dear friends of ours gave us our very first donation check for $500!! We feel so loved and blessed. It really was so exciting to recieve that first donation and be encouraged that we are loved and supported through this. Jared and I have used $4500 of our own money from savings so now we have raised $5000 off of the total cost of our adoption! Soon we will be designing some really neat adoption shirts and hats to sell so we will keep you posted when those come out!
We hope you will get excited with us and think about helping by donating towards our adoption. You will be helping to bring an orphan home to a loving family! When you meet her you will know that you personally played an important part in bringing her home to us!! Isn't that amazing?? I think so!
You can support us by paying securely through paypal on our blog or by sending us a check in the mail. 100% of your donation will go to funding our adoption!! Thank you for your support and love!! We can't do this with out your help!
