This blog post is long
overdue! I am sorry about the long delay in posting, but here it goes.
We had another amazing,
successful fundraiser! My sweet Aunt April hosted a benefit garage sale for our
adoption. We are so thankful for the love that she, Gretchen and Jenny put into
this event. They were able to receive donations from so many people and as you
can see from the pictures below, there was a great selection! We are so
grateful for the hours of work they put into this.
The amount of hard work and
time that goes into these events show how loving of a family this baby is going
to be place into. We are so excited about the blessings God has given us
through our family and friends. God showed us how he can provide again at the
end of the day when we heard the amount that the garage sale added to our adoption
fund….it is another unbelievable day in this journey. Drum-roll……..The grand
total raised is $1,125!!!
Isn't that
amazing? We are so overwhelmed with the fundraising for our adoption. It has
been a true miracle to see the amount that has been raised to help bring home
Baby Page.

| Thank you so much for you hard work Aunt April, Gretchen and Jenny! We love you and appreciate everything you did for us. |
Next on the the list to
update you on…our Home study!
Last Monday, Dakota and I had
our first home study with our case worker, Kari. We had a great time meeting
with her and quickly felt like we were making a new friend. We talked about our
families, things that we enjoy doing together, our lifestyle and what our
expectations are in regards to semi-open adoption. It was relaxed and way
easier than we imagined! We also had our home inspected. Before our home study
we were given a list of things that would need to be completed before the inspection.
After making sure everything was done, I was still nervous! I cleaned out
closets, drawers and made sure everything was in exactly the “right” place. Of
course, non of that mattered! J They didn't go around
with a white glove inspected our home, but they did check for necessities like
a fire extinguisher and smoke detectors…just the normal things to keep children
safe! Overall, we loved having Kari in our home and we are looking forward to
our next home study on the 29th of April!
We have officially hit the
53% mark! Praise the Lord!! It is so encouraging to be at the half way point. J
