Today, I sent a copy of our home study to be state certified for our dossier. And sent a copy of it to the State of Wisconsin to get permission for our little kiddo to reside with us in Wi. :) Yes!! We are making progress! :)
This little one has such a place in my heart already. The feelings I feel for him/her are VERY similar to how I felt about Drew and Carissa when I was pregnant. Very, very similar. And yet, such a long wait!
Several people, lately, have said that they'd rather just give us money for our travel expenses than participate in fundraisers. That is FINE with us!! :) We are working on a way to make those donations tax deductible - but it will be 6-8 weeks before we find out if that is possible. We are also continuing on with fundraisers for multiple reasons...
1) It is a great opportunity to enjoy the company of friends at the fundraisers and the fellowship is awesome.
2) It's a great time to answer questions and update people about our process.
3) It is a great way to raise awareness and education in the community about adoption.
4) We are hoping to be a blessing (financially) to those businesses and to the individuals helping us fundraise by bringing in additional business to them.
Anyway, we'll keep you posted! :)
