I hope everyone enjoyed a Thanksgiving feast with family last week!
We don't have much news to report on the adoption front today. I am still trying to tie up loose ends with medical forms and employer references. It feels never-ending; always one last detail that was overlooked by someone (never me, of course ;))
Our caseworker finished writing our homestudy, with the exception of the details from the paperwork we are still waiting on (see above). Dave and I read through it over the weekend and caught a few minor mistakes. Let me tell you, it is weird to read a 25 page paper about yourself. I actually got pretty bored a few pages in and had to take a break.
I have almost completed the immigration paperwork, so that when the homestudy is approved, we can send it right away to Homeland Security. Immigration approval is said to take anywhere from 30-90 days. Let's pray for 30!
Our first fundraiser, a Pampered Chef book party, ended last week. It was a successful show as far as sales, and we will be getting a portion of the representative's commission. We will apply that to the cost of the immigration application. We've also received a couple monetary gifts from loved ones that went straight into the adoption account. Every little bit is so appreciated. We are so humbled that people are willing to partner with us in this process of giving a home to an orphan and expanding our family. We appreciate your thoughts and prayers!
Love, Sarah
