We have all our documents together for our dossier except our medicals. I have been on the phone half the day with the doctor's office trying to make sure the notary will be there and to make sure they got all of our lab results..etc..... We go for our office visit tomorrow. I am praying that we will have the notarized document by Wednesday morning at the latest.
On the $$$$ front, we found out on Friday that Jeff will be getting the BIGGEST commission check he has EVER received since working for the radio station! Sooo....we will be able to put $5000 into the adoption fund from just this one check. Talk about a God timing! Granted, we still need another $20,000..but I would never have thought we would get that much money from his commission. We have some more catering jobs this month and money coming from jobs we already completed...so we should be able to have another $5000 to add to it by mid July. That will leave us at $15000. We haven't sent out support letters to our families yet....I hate asking for money. We are also trying to get an adoption grant. We aren't sure what to do about a reference letter from our pastor. Our church is huge and we don't know our pastor personally...we know our small group leader and the assistant pastor.
If we can get it all together and submitted next week, then I should have news soon about our travel date. I highly suspect it will be in August. I am hoping/praying for mid-August. I really want to be at school for the first week or two to get my students settled and to meet them. Please pray for God's perfect timing...even if it isn't my timing! :-)

Praying it all works out in His timing. I have read the "we dont have the money" soooo many times and somehow someway it always seems to work out. God provides!
Awesome! this is such a blessing for you and those who are coming into this family! What a blessing! God is definatley in control of all the details! Praying He continues to bless you on this journey
~Blessings!

Ask about using the assistant pastor, sometimes they just want a spiritual mentor. Also, what about ABBA FUND-- or any interest free loan specifically for adoptions since it will ALL be returned to you in an income tax credit! God will provide in HIS way and HIS time! He is already doing it!
