It's October! Already it's been quite a journey. Kent and I have sent out for information from all sorts of adoption agencies and have received so much information! We haven't even come close to making a decision on which agency to choose but we are making progress! Here's what we've done so far:
~We agreed to host a foreign exchange student and decided to put most of that money towards funding the adoption. That turned out to be short lived and she is no longer living with us but we were able to put over $700 in our adoption account bringing us over $3000! Praise God for that!
~Discussed the "when" of deciding an agency. Things have been discouraging financially here so we don't want to decide too soon.
~I am working on a postcard to send out to let everyone know of our upcoming adoption and also to let them know about this website! But first, I have to get some pictures taken of us to put on the card. We'll see about that :)
~We are starting to gather up items to have a yard sale and we plan on using the proceeds from that to go into our adoption fund. Being newlyweds (still!), we don't have that much stuff to sell so I am going to ask around for people to donate towards it! Only downside is that the Senior class at our school is having a yard sale later this month so I will have to wait on ours.
Until next time!
