We had a few more people buy puzzle pieces this week. We still need about $450 in order to pay for our home study. We are in the process of applying for an adoption loan and a local grant. Hopefully we will have enough funds to begin our home study soon.
Once our home study is completed, we will be able to apply for several more adoption grants. Most grants require that the home study be completed before an application can be processed. So we are hopeful to get our home study completed soon.
We are trusting in God's timing during this adoption process. We are confident that we will be able to raise what we need for this adoption and that we will get our sweet little baby in His perfect timing. We don't know at this point whether it will be a little brother or a little sister for Claudia and Gus, but we are excited to find out!
Sadly, we have had some negativity towards us beginning this adoption. Join with us in praying for those who have not seen eye to eye with us on adoption. The negativity has not swayed our commitment to the child that God is preparing for us and overall, we have had many encouraging words from friends and family.
Adoption is a beautiful picture of how we are adopted into our Heavenly Father's kingdom through Jesus. We are His adopted children. We cannot wait to welcome our sweet, little one into our family just as God welcomed us into His family.
Thank you for being on this journey with us!
