Exciting news while we wait...

Our completed dossier is still at our agency in America and as far as I know our agency hasn't gotten a chance to look at it yet. I am a little bummed out about this but I know they have to work in the order in which they receive the paperwork. I know a lot of families are using our agency and some of their children and living in horrible conditions waiting until their families can go save them. I want to be able to meet Baby A LIKE NOW and bring him home soon but I can rest knowing he is being taken care of by people who love him and want what's best for him. His nanny is the only Mommy he has ever know and she takes such good care of him. It is so nice to be able to move forward with the adoption and not have to worry about our boy.

 And now for the exciting news... We received a check in the mail for $4,000!!! That means we only need to raise $9,000 more and we will be fully funded. We are just rejoicing and praising God for His faithfulness! Although $9,000 may sound like a lot I am just excited to be under the $10,000 mark. We are getting close!!!

Thank you again to everyone who has donated money, done fundraisers and prayed for us. We are so so blessed!!!

I am excited to announce that we are going to start doing some fundraising on our blog. Baby A has his very own fund-raising blog (e-mail me if you want the link to that blog) all the money from that blog goes to our account with Reece's Rainbow and we will be able to use that money for air plane tickets, adoption agency fees and other costs related to adopting Baby A. We also have some up front costs (home study, psych. evaluations, USCIS) that we are hoping to cover the costs through fund-raising and that's what the money we raise on this blog will go to.

Our very first fundraiser will be a Thirty- One fundraiser and 20 percent of all sales from May 1st through May 15th will go toward Baby A's adoption. They have stylish purses, accessories and products that help organize the lives of busy women and their families. Everything is SUPER cute and don't forget Mother's Day is coming up. If you order on the 1st I don't think it will get to you in time or Mother's Day but your Wife/ Mother/ Grandmother/ Aunt/ Sister/ Daughter in law ;) will be so happy to know they have a gift coming and they were able to help Baby A :) Go look around these next few days and let the ordering begin on May 1st :)
