Profile Book
Our profile book is finished! We just received the digital version of it today, and will be able to order prints to mail out to different adoption agencies as soon as our home study is complete. Our adoption consultant, Renee, did an amazing job putting the profile together for us! Here's a sneak peek of one page from our book:
Home Study
We just received the initial paperwork for our background checks! This is the first of many steps (with tons of forms to fill out) that will result in a completed home study (basically a document that certifies that we are fit to be parents to an adopted child). I haven't been this excited about filling out paperwork since we signed our marriage license!Adoption Yard Sale
Thank you to all of you for setting items aside for our adoption yard sale (June 27th)! We've already gotten some really nice (and a few rather interesting...) items to sell to raise funds to bring our baby home. We're happy to accept donations at any time leading up to the sale, but have limited space to store larger items at this time. If it's at all possible for you to store some of the bigger items for the time being, that would be greatly appreciated!Funds Raised
We've raised a total of $4,056 and are at 81% of our initial fundraising goal ($5,000) and 13% of our overall goal ($30,000). Thank you to everyone who's contributed!Right now we're about $1,000 short of what we need to pay for our home study and the remaining application fees required before our profile book will even be seen by any expecting parents. If you've been thinking about donating and just haven't had a chance yet, now would be a great time! A donation of any size would really help us to continue moving forward in this process.
