Support Surrounds Us

We recently have completed two fundraisers with the help of Michelle’s parents planning skills and the support of family and friends!  First, we did a work day at the church and earned $450 towards our home study.
We will be doing another work day June 4th 8am-12noon. If you would like to donate 4 hours of your time to earn money for our adoption fund please contact Michelle or Adam.

This past weekend our Fishburn Church held a funfest for the church and community. Michelle's mom organized a bake sale for our adoption. We are so very thankful for everyone who took time to bake for this fundraiser and who came out to support us!  We raised $936. 

Because of these awesome fundraisers and donations from friends and family we now have enough money for our home study.  Once we are approved from our home study, we will apply to a country. This is called dossier fees. We are now working on raising the money for these fees.

Also, once our home study is complete, we will be able to apply to grants to help with the cost.

We are excited that we are in our first waiting phase. We have completed (FINGERS CROSSED) all of the requirements for the home study. We now wait for paperwork to come back.

Most of the questions we are being asked we can’t answer yet. Questions such as: What country are you adopting from? What is your time frame? When are you expected to hear next? How old will the child be? When will you be matched? Etc.  Once a country has approved us, we will have a much better idea of what is happening next and specifics. Each country has their own program with their own rules and schedules.


Praises: Our Psychological Evaluation is complete
Our trainings are complete and all passed
The success of our fundraisers
The generosity of our family and friends


Prayers: We have completed everything correctly for the home study

That our home study is scheduled shortly!
