Where we are now..

hello friends!
I just wanted to keep everybody informed of where we are to date. We have had so many sweet friends asking!
We are over half way through with the homestudy! yay! It has really been so much fun and we LOVE our sweet social worker. God really answered our prayers!

I am slowly getting into raising funds for getting our daughter home. I know it seems odd raising money for something like this but it is a really common thing to do! Clark and I have entered into this with much prayer and discussion but not with the funds. This part we are going blindly and praying God will meet our needs in this process.

I've decided to just kindof lay it on the table. I want everyone to know where the money will go. It will cost us $30,000 when its all said and done. This can seem very overwhelming, huh? It sure is to us.
Clark and I will be donating 5% of what we raise to Anna Corinne's orphanage and 5% to starting a fund at our church to help other families with the initial cost with adoption. You can't apply for any grants, etc..until post homestudy but the homestudy is close to $5000. I think this will be such a blessing to other families with these "start up" cost :)
I am going to be using this site to post some of my latest fundraising options. I hope you like some of the items I will be selling! I'm going to also include a link to paypal if you would want to donate. MOST importantly, above fundraising, etc.., we'd love your prayers.  I'm going to have a running prayer list on this blog. Clark and I would greatly appreciate you taking one or two and praying with us!
