Moving forward....finally!

Today I got to sit down with our social worker and set our first home study visit appointment! October 10 at 2:00 p.m. our social worker will start our home inspection and interview. Yay! After a few months of not getting anything accomplished and not really having the money to do it, we are finally able to move forward in this process. The money we made at our yard sale, almost to the penny(!), went towards our application fee, half of the home study fee, the state fire marshal fee, the health department fee and our fingerprinting and background check fee. Phew! So, Friday we are off to the MVA for our driving records ($14) and to get our fingerprints done. Then we wait and find more ways to raise more money (ideas, anyone?) We need to raise another $500 to pay the other half of the home study fee. Once the home study is approved we can start on the process of filing all of our agency paperwork. Another mountain to climb! The Lord is faithful, and we will put ALL of our trust in Him alone! Praise God in all His provisions!

How very exciting! Boy, does this bring back memories.
I'm terrible at ideas for fundraising, but I would think another yard sale in a couple months might be a good idea. I'm already finding more stuff to donate, so maybe others are too.

So what happened with the home study? I thought of it plenty since Wednesday, but never when I was actually around you!
