Warp Speed

Now that we have been approved to adopt I feel like things are moving at warp speed. Of course I know this will most likely be short lived as I know how slow the adoption process can be! We have found a local agency to prepare our international home study and now have to get appointments with our doctor and take our parenting class.

Right now we are working hard to come up with the funding for the initial fees for the adoption. We will have to pay for our home study, our parenting class, and our agency fees. These fees are all due soon. As you will see I have added a "Chip in" gidget to the blog on the right. This allows our family, friends and supporters to help us with the costs of the adoption. "Chip in" works through Paypal. The negative about "Chip in" is that it the donations are not tax deductible. The good part about it is that the funds will be deposited directly into our paypal account and can be used immediately for the adoption expenses. Soon (hopefully) we will be officially commited to the child we are seeking and Reeces Rainbow will have our page available.  Once this is up and running you will be able to make donations to us through them which will be tax deductible but will not be able to be used by us until we are ready to travel.

I will be selling some wonderful and unique items through my blog in the near future as I have some amazing family and friends who will be helping me with this.  You can also help fund the adpotion by purchasing items through my Etsy shop Simplyvintagefun.

We are humbled to have to ask for help, but God has asked us to put our trust in Him to povide us the means to follow through with this adoption.  Please do not feel obligated to donate to us.  We ask that all donations be given lovingly and not grudgingly.  We appreciate every bit of help that can be given.
