One thing we discovered very quickly when we started our adoption process was that funds seem to come due in "chunks". You pay a "chunk" to have the home study done, a "chunk" when you complete the agency contract, another "chunk" when you officially commit to your child, and another "chunk" when you submit your USCIS paperwork.
We've gotten to the point in our adoption process when the next bug "chunk" of money will be due. As soon as our "golden ticket" arrives from USCIS we will be submitting our dossier to the country we are adopting from. Along with the paperwork package our next agency payment will be due. After that payment, the "chunks" of money that are due start to get closer together as we move closer to bringing Allen home.
We are starting some new fundraising to raise the first "chunk" of $5,500. We have a lot planned and we are praying that y'all will continue to support us on this crazy journey! We are also applying for several grants, so we would appreciate prayers that those would be approved.
Here is some of what we have planned:
- "That's My Pan" fundraiser
(These are awesome pans, especially if you go to a church that has lots of potlucks!)
- Homemade candy sales
(Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas are coming up!)
- Garage Sale
(November 12th - hopefully it will be below 100 degrees by then!)
Stay tuned for more information!!
