We are so happy that God has answered our prayer in showing us where to adopt. We figured we would share with ya'll what our next steps are:
The first step is a to fill out the formal application packet. I have heard that this is quite lengthy and could take awhile.
After that is processed we will be assigned a social worker who will work with us on our homestudy. I'm not sure how long this takes. I'm assuming quite a bit...I haven't talked to my "source" about this yet...she's busy the upcoming auction. :)
We have trusted God to show us where to adopt... now we just need to trust Him with the money. This step is more difficult for Dan than it is for me. Dan is Mr. Spreadsheet Man...
Because the fees happen so close together we need to try to raise the initial $8,500 as soon as possible (Dan wants to wait and raise the money first, where as I want to go, go, go). There are so many other additional costs that go along with this as well, totaling $28,000-$32,000!!!
So, right now we are asking for prayers from you, along with any fundraising ideas that you may have! You can leave a comment below if you have any ideas.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and for your prayers!

Be sure to check the Bethany financial information packet. There are a lot of great ideas to raise money as well as grants you can apply for.
