The Master Plan

Last weekend I made a giant thermometer with the total adoption cost.  At first it was more terrifying, since we are trying to adopt without acquiring any debt, but in the master plan for Benjamin it's something Paul and I have to deal with every day.

Our next goal is raising $3500 for the 1st home study.  And at the same time we are getting our home ready for the home study.  Paul and I rearranged bedrooms so we officially have a baby room ready to be filled with a crib, changing table and rocking chair.  Benjamin's nursery theme is Doctor Who; as we wish to start his life in the right direction.  :)

A friend told me something earlier in the week that helps me when I get down.  "God already knows little Benjamin and who he is or will be!"  I love this.

Thank you for your support and prayers!

    Knock out that second home study fee of $2500...that is for when you go through them to adopt kid number 2 (it is cheaper because you are already in the system)...your total should be closer to 18,800. :)
