Okey and I are so excited that our home study was finally completed in October!
Now we wait...
Many have been asking "When?":
There is no guarantee. Some wait weeks. Some wait years.
We have submitted a profile book to each of the three offices in North Carolina. As expectant families come to Bethany Christian Services they will be looking through profile books if they choose the adoption plan. So pray that our profile book stands out. Pray that the birth mother takes good care of herself so that her and the baby are healthy.
Others have asked "How much?":
The total for our adoption is $20,000.
Why? Costs includes professional services for adoptive parents (home study, orentation & meetings, case management, ect.), professional services for birth parents (counseling, case management, correspondance, ect.), some birth parent expenses, newborn care and services, legal expenses...
We are applying for grants and planning different fundraisers. Pray that God will bless us financially during this process so we have little to no debt trying to expand our family.
Thank you to all of you who have continued to support us during this journey!
