We sent our application in late last week and are waiting to hear the next steps! We are so excited to get started on this journey and are feeling so loved and seen by our village. Our next major step is beginning the home study. This typically costs $2,000-$2,500. We are there with our donations and really appreciate your help! After that step, we will wait to be chosen by a birth mother/family. We are not obligated to pay anything until we take the child home from the hospital so that does give us some time. When we do get chosen and are about to take the child home, we will owe $18,000. The good news is that since it is due at the end, we have time. Time to apply for grants once we have an approved home study. Time to do other types of fundraisers and even take side jobs where we can to add on to that. We continue to pray and ask you to do the same. We feel so loved and already love our future child so much.
