We are so appreciative of the donations for the garage sale. We are moving the garage sale to Saturday, Feb. 25th due to possible weather and it will also give me more time to get everything ready. Please spread the word!
Thanks,

Today was a crazy/ busy day at work. I also found out today that the birth mother with the baby due in 2 months changed her mind and wants baby to go to an aunt and uncle instead. We are not letting that stop us....we plan on pushing through and continuing on with the home study until the child god planned for us to have comes along. I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason and God has a plan for us and we are not meant to understand why things happen the way they do or when they do. Maybe this was just the jump start we needed to get motivated about adoption again....well it worked! So this just means we will keep on fundraising and doing paperwork and be ready for the next little one.
Baby Bottle Fundraiser still going full steam ahead and we are still having a garage sale just nervous about this weekend and the rain...we will see.

All I can say is WOW at the page views and people that have shared it on Facebook. We appreciate everyone being so supportive. There are couple of things going on at the same time....1) Potential birth mother info and seeing if this is a possibility with our social worker. 2) starting home study process 3) Baby bottle fundraiser 4) Upcoming garage sale 5) getting some things done around the house 6) oh yeah and working and living. Everyday I am multi-tasking to get things done, but everything is going good. I started getting my CD collection together for the garage sale...Chad made fun of me because I am a music freak. I have a very wide range in taste and ALOT of CD's. He doesn't think any human should have so many CD's. He is happy for them to be sold and I don't want to part. I am ready for the garage sale to be here. So this is just a little update. We are filling out paper work!

Welcome to our Adoption Journey Blog! Visit "Our Story" tab to learn more about us.
From our story you've seen that we have had a rough couple of years. We started the foster to adopt process a year and a half ago but we just put a halt to the process after we completed the mandatory classes. There is no rhyme or reason why. I think we were still not ready to continue on.
I received a call on Tuesday from a friend of mine that has set our Adoption Journey back in motion. We got the call that a baby would be born in two months and the mother was looking to give that child up. Chad and I talked about the phone call and are now ready to continue our journey. God has a plan for us and I have learned that only God knows what that is. It has taken this phone call to get us to think about adoption again. We have decided that whether it is this baby or another baby this is what we want to be doing. So with that being said our Journey has begun.
We have talked with a social worker and need to start our home study. We have a lawyer in mind. At the same time, my friend is working on the details of the baby that will be arriving in two months. One of our biggest challenges is funding our adoption journey. We have exhausted all of our funds on IVF, medical bills, etc. So we will have to rely solely on fundraising. In the past this has slowed us down but we are not letting that slow us down this time. My motto is "we will figure it out". If this is meant to be, God will help us find a way.
This is a very exciting and busy time for us. We are starting our fundraising effort immediately so we can get the home study completed. We will be starting with two fundraisers.

GARAGE SALE
Weather permitting we will be having a garage sale in two weeks. If you have items that you would like to donate to our garage sale please let us know. You can drop off the items or I can come pick them up. We appreciate anything you would like to donate. I'm not sure how many garage sales happen this time of year but we are going to try it.

BABY BOTTLE FUNDRAISER
This week we start our "baby bottle" fundraiser Did you know you can send a baby bottle in the mail?
We are thinking creatively!
Our hope are for friends and family members to take some time and fill them with spare change or set them out at other locations to collect change. Once it is full it can be sent back to us . We are going to try and complete our baby bottle fundraiser by the end of February. If you would like a baby bottle, please let me know or you can start with your own baby bottle. If you would like the label or wording for your own baby bottle let me know. We know that we have so much support, and we hope people will spread our prayer to have the money needed to do so.
