Since our last post we have had three adoption fundraisers!!!
Tuesday, April 10th we had a "Giving Back" night at the Chili's in Hendersonville. We had a group of family and friends support us and had a great time hanging out. Chili's donated $100 to our adoption fund at our adoption agency (Living Hope in PA).
The first week of April we concluded our Yankee Candle Adoption Fundriaser. This week we found out that we raised $350 for our adoption!!! We had a lot of support with this fundraiser and many friends and family received some great items for themselves and gifts for others.
Last night, we concluded our Spring/Summer consignment sale (That Consignment Sale). Many friends and family donated items to sell at our sale for our adoption. We raised $125 from those items under our ADOPT consignor number.
So in the month of April, we have raised $575 for our adoption!!! Praise God!
Where we are in the adoption process...
Right now we are in the middle of our Dossier process. This week we received our receipt from the US that they have received our I800A paperwork and it is going to the second step (Hague) in the approval process. From what they sent us, we should be receiving approval from the US to adopt outside the US within the next 14 days.
We are in the waiting process on finalizing our Dossier paperwork. The Dossier is the large pack of paperwork required to send to China. We have requested all of our paperwork from the required location and are waiting for them to be processed and finished. Once the required paperwork is collected and sent in...we can get a referral!!!
This week we will be applying for grants and a matching grant program.
Please keep our adoption process in your prayers...pray for Melanie to be safe (if she is born) and her birth mother. We desire God's timing!!
