Hello my friends. I know it has been a while since I have posted anything. Things have been very busy around here. Jason has been putting in 55 hours a week at his job and just picked up a second job to top that off. I can't wait until this adoption is paid for and Claudia is home so that I can see my husband regularly again! I have been doing quite a bit of pet sitting over the last few weeks to earn some extra cash :)
Next week is our yardsale! Please keep this in your prayers as we are still about $2800 away from being able to submit our dossier. Praying for a miracle. The sale will be June 21-23, if you are in the area feel free to stop out and help support us. On Friday of next week my friend is throwing a fundraiser for us by selling her Arbonne products and donating her profits to the adoption. How awesome is that!? We also still have the puzzle fundraiser going and could really use some more names to put on those pieces Click HERE! The give-away will run until the end of the month Click HERE.
As far as the adoption goes we are still waiting for our FBI background checks to come in. We had our Psych eval done and are waiting for that to be approved by our agency and sent to us. We had our biometrics fingerprints done for the USCIS and are awaiting their approval. I also have to get my paperwork to our Doctor to be signed and sent back to us. Once this is all taken care of we have a bunch of papers to be notarized, certified and then Apostilled so that we can send them off to Claudia's country. It seems like a lot but really we can see the light at the end of the tunnel!
My birthday is tomorrow, I get to share it with all the wonderful fathers out there for Fathers Day this year. It would be such a blessing for me and Jason, the soon-to-be father, to see our donations grow tomorrow and through the upcoming week. Please consider donating to our FSP HERE or to our Chip-in on the Right-->. Use your donation to get something for yourself through the give-away, purchase coffee or purchase something from this blog or my Etsy shop. So many ways to give and also get something in return.
We have had so many people bless us thus far through our journey. We are amazed at the generosity of complete strangers, acquaintances and friends. We hope you will continue to pray for us and follow our journey through to the end. We hope that our story will be a blessing to others and even an inspiration. We just want God to use us to further His Kingdom and do His will.
Prayer requests: Please join us in praying for the following: Claudia's health and safety, our paperwork to come in quickly, for financial blessings, that the officials in her country will find favor with us, and for safe travels.
I will update you all when we hear back from those we need to hear from and of course let you know how the yardsale went!
