Fundraisers

Happy Monday!

We started up a couple fundraisers. The links can be found on the right side of the blog at all times. I also added a "Donate" button for contributions through Pay Pal.

Just Love Coffee

We will receive a portion of the sale when you use our individual fundraising page to order. I've heard the coffee is great!

Once Was Lost

Enter our name in the "Notes to Seller" box when checking out and we will receive 50% of the sale. Some really cute stuff, including an Africa t-shirt that I might need to buy for myself :)

Amazon

Use the button on the right to go to Amazon and do your shopping. We will receive a percentage of the sale! A great way to contribute with every-day purchases you would be making anyhow!

UPDATE: We also have t-shirts, wodden engraved plaques, artowrk by Dave and jewelry by Sarah and Wendy Mauger. See Sarah's Facebook page for pictures of everything available.

Stay tuned for more fundraisers in the future! Love, Dave and Sarah

I-800A Filed

Yesterday I mailed our I-800A application along with the required supporting documents to USCIS (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services).

The I-800A is the "Application for Determination of Suitability to Adopt a Child from a Convention Country". With the application, we had to send a copy of the homestudy, copies of our birth certificates and marriage certificate and, of course, money (A check made out to The Department of Homeland Security, which felt super important).

Now, we will wait until we are invited to be fingerprinted. We expect to wait a couple of months before we receive this invitation. After fingerprinting, it will probably be another month until we receive our approval.

We almost have enough money set aside for the next fee! We have really been seeing God's provision so far in the process. We still have quite a bit left in fees, but we will just take it as it comes. I am confident that God will continue to make a way! I am beginning to apply for grants and we will start thinking about our next fundraiser as well.

Thank you for your prayers and support!

Love, Dave and Sarah
