Sooooo, just how exactly are we going to pay for this?

We've made some great strides over the past month.  We received our biometrics fingerprint appointment.  We'll go September 21, and then we can tie up some loose ends and send our dossier in!  I can't believe it's almost time!  Here's the scary/exciting part...  We are #6 on the unofficial list to receive a referral.  Yikes!!  I kind of thought we'd be waiting for about six months after we sent in our dossier.  That could still be the case, but it's looking like things could move quickly once we get our dossier to Ethiopia.

We couldn't be more excited to get our kids home, but we've been hit with the question this week, "So, how are we going to pay for this?"  We thought we'd have a little more time to save and maybe have some kind of a fundraiser, but if things move quickly, we'll have to come up with a better plan!  We know God will provide.  He's provided perfectly so far.  We feel like we've been obedient to His leading in this, so we know that if it is what we're supposed to do, the funds will come.

We'll keep you posted on our progress.  I don't know how long it takes to get the I-171H, but the day we get it in the mail will be a very exciting day!  We started this process on February 24th, 2011 and it's very possible that we could see our sweet babies' faces by next February 24th, 2012!

Thank you all for reading my boring little blog.  As I've mentioned before, this isn't really my thing, but I want our kids to know that they were very much wanted.  We look forward to the day when we get to hold them!!
