Our Adoption Journey

On your mark April 17, 2008

We’ve finally reached the starting line!  After a few months of regrouping, we are finally ready to start our adoption process.  We were feeling pretty burdened with the weight of the debt we were carrying from the IVF so we stopped everything and took a few months to steady our footing.  During this time, a miracle took place.  We still owed $11,000 on our IVF.  We’d paid down the balance from $22,000 and still had a little over half left to pay.  We were fully expecting to take a year at least to pay off the rest.  However, God provided a way for us to pay off the balance at the beginning of April!  Through our tax refund and a commission check Kent got from work, it was exactly the amount we needed to pay off everything and be completely DEBT FREE! 

Now we can begin our journey with a lighter step.  Even though the thought of raising $30,000 is overwhelming, I know God will provide a way.

We are working on our home study packet right now and soon we will have our first home visit.  I hope they don’t deduct points for dog hair on the couch.
