Adoption Update

Saturday we had our last of three interviews with our social worker from AWAA. He was so kind and brought two boxes of donuts for us! He'll start writing up our homestudy next Monday since he had a few to do before ours.
Once that is written and approved by AWAA we send it in to USCIS for embassy clearance to bring orphans into the country and fingerprinting appts for me and Steve.

Steve still needs to get his police clearance from our local agency and that takes about a week once he applies. I need to check the instructions again to see what else we need to get done.

We did up our age to 14 because we saw a ten year old boy that looked like he would fit into our family quite well. We need to have a talk with our boys though because he could be older than that and disrupt the birth order there. There was a period where I had four boys in five years so they're all pretty close in age even though with one being ten and another being fifteen it wouldn't look like it, but in ten years they'll all be about the same size.

We're still selling coffee and t-shirts which you can access by clicking on the appropriate buttons on the right. I'm selling wristbands for $1.00 each. I have books and clothing up for sale on ebay right now to raise some funds. Every little bit helps! We need to send in about $800+ with our immigration paperwork and then quite a few fees after that equaling about $10K.

Thank you for supporting us and praying for us. Help us bring these kids into a family!
