After being accepted into the adoption agency's program, a lot needs to happen before we can send our application overseas. Even though the process can take 2-3 years before we actually get our child(maybe longer, maybe shorter), a lot is happening now.
The next step is finding a home study program (they make sure we are not crazy, interview us, see our home, do background checks and what not). So far we have a couple programs in mind, but $3,000 or $5,000 is not something that we were expecting to have to pay immediately into the process, but nonetheless now is the time! We knew that the over all cost would probably be about 25,000-30,000 dollars, but we figured it would be more spread out over the couple of years. But the overall start up costs will be about $6500 to get our application to Bulgaria.
Let the fundraising begin! haha We are already planning a yard sale and a bake sale is in the mix too, so that should be exciting!
Please, please, please keep us in your prayers throughout this process, that God would provide and pave the way for whatever he has planned for us.
