Yay!!!

I am doing cartwheels around the house! Our homestudy visits are FINALLY completed. After 5 rescheduled appointment, it is finally over. This process is certainly a test of my patience and trust in God. This is just the beginning! Adoption is not an easy process and full of the unknown. I am not exactly sure what is next, other than assembling our dossier which includes our homestudy and various other documents. We are currently waiting on a letter from Immigration/Department of Homeland Security giving us our appointment date for fingerprints. We should get that letter this week or early next week if the timeline is consistent with others I have talked with. Now that our homestudy is finished we are in the hands of our placing agency, Lifeline Children's Services. They will help us assemble our dossier and sent it to Ukraine. We are very excited to be finished with one very important phase of the adoption.

On the fundraiser front, we had our Chick-Fil A Spirit Night on Monday. We had many of our friends come to support us, which was awesome. We are still waiting to hear how much we raised. Next, we are heading to Kansas City for a rummage sale our Missouri friends have organized on our behalf. We are taking some bbq to sell as well. We have also had several people donate to our adoption which continues to touch our heart and we feel so humbled and blessed that others want to help us out in this process. We are praying God's supernatural blessings on their lives. We have several quotes out for catering jobs and it looks like the end of May is going to be super busy for catering. This is a blessing as all the catering jobs we get this year are going to help fund the adoption.

Thanks again to all who have donated and participated in our fundraisers.
