Another milestone reached!

Hello family and friends!

We have reached our next goal and raised the $7,500 that goes toward our placement costs.  This is the largest amount that we had to raise so Paul and I feel a great burden lifted from our shoulders.





The next financial goal will be to raise $2,500 for our second home study.  We already received paperwork to update our physicals and the wonderful finger printing.  We can only guess that we will have to have our 2nd visit from our social worker later on in the year.

A big thank you to all those who helped us reach this goal! And we appreciate your continued support and prayers.

Nursery pictures

Hello everyone!

We decided to post some nursery pictures since it is officially decorated.  No news on the adoption process.  Still in the book and still waiting.  We just reached $4000 of the $7500 we need for the placement cost and I will be having another fundraiser soon with ApParent Project again.

And now for the nursery pictures!









Thanks for the support and keep us in your prayers!

Pater paper pregnancy is a go!


We are officially in the profile book!

That's right, we are in the profile book and now we wait...  No seriously that's all we do till a birth mother picks us.  So we wait and continue to raise money.  We are currently raising money toward the placement cost of $7500.  As of now, we are $4500 away from having that paid for.  

The placement cost is kind of like a hospital bill.  We get to pick up baby and a couple weeks later we are issued the placement cost bill. It's truly a guessing game as to when we will be picked so we have hopes of having that bill covered and then some by the time the baby gets here.

Now when we are picked by a birth mother we will not be able to share that information through our blog or facebook.  Instead you can give us your personal e-mail and we will share what information we can that way.  So when we are picked we will probably post things that will drive you all crazy because we know something and you don't.  :)

A huge thanks to those who continue to help us.  We have a thirty-one fundraiser going on now through the 29th (closes at noon).  100% of the commission goes toward our adoption fund.  You can purchase items through Anne Little's site.

Buy something, tell a friend, tell everyone you know. Paul and I are only $4000 away from having all the Placement costs. Since we stared in April we have raised $12,800. We still have more costs after the placement, but when it comes to adoption, it's one goal at a time.

Thanks to all of you who have supported us!  We could not do it without you!
