We are excited to be adding a child into our family. It might come as a surprise to hear that adopting a child can be incredibly costly. This is why we have set a goal to help ease the financial burden that often can overwhelm adopters.
We hope that you will be a part of our journey together.
We have officially finalized our home study. Although it started in November, our agency has been so thorough in this process ensuring that we understand what adoption is, who we are, and who we hope to be as parents.
Next steps are finalizing the last bit of paperwork and then going live. We're optimistic that we will be in the waiting process at the start of the year.
We've been very thankful for the support we've received so far in this journey. We cannot thank you enough for being a part of it.
As of this evening, we are officially done with our paperwork! It's been a lot of thinking, discussing, and getting organized. To be honest, prior to this experience, I couldn't even tell you where most of our "important" documents were, but now we are experts with many manila file folders.
We're anxious to schedule the home study, but trust in the Lord's timing above all else. Thank you to all who have supported us in our journey so far.
We have decided upon 2 agencies. We're currently finishing up paperwork for a home study for one of them, and then we will begin the process for the second one!
If all goes well, and Lord willing, we should be live by the end of October with the first one! Our current plan is to follow closely with the second agency, likely going live by the end of the year.
