Short on Cash

We have done the official math for how much  money we will need to come up with for this adoption.  We will need to get together $11,475  in the next 4-6 weeks!  This is a big chunk of money and we have all of our eggs in one basket at this point to we have to get it.  We are not the least bit scarred.  Time and time again God has supplied couples with a lot of money to adopt.  There is no reason for us to believe that he will not provide!

The good thing about this amount is that it is the biggest chunk of money we will have to pay.  When we get a referral of siblings, we will owe another $6,000.  If we get a referral for two unrelated children, we will need to add $3500 to that $6000.  There is a bit more paperwork when an unrelated child is involved which is the reason for the raised prices.  After these fees are paid we will have to shell out about $6000 more for travel but that's it!  Seems so simple right:)

The initial payment we have to make can not be paid with grants.  It needs to be paid right after the home study is finished which is when we will be able to apply for grants.  We are praying that will will get a grant for the next chunk of money due.

We are very exited for this new process and can not wait to see how God works.  In the meantime we are doing everything we can to fundraise and get Gavin work.  We do need your help!  Take a look at our website on the right hand side of the blog page.  You can buy T-shirts designed by us, cookies, and coffee.  You can also donate money or item to our yard sale.  Our new goal on wepay is to just make $3000.  Lets make it happen!
