Happy New Year :O))

Still slowly gathering up paperwork and hoping that with all the peas and cabbage we will be eating on Sunday just maybe we will have some good luck. :O)))

So far with paperwork :O))) our child abuse clearances should arrive by late January or early February.  Our completed homestudy and the FBI fingerprint clearances we need before we can began immigration process.   **SO :O))) Next step we will be filing for our I800A.  The I800A will take about 6 to 7 weeks for us to receive a date for our fingerprints.  A week or so later we should receive our advance approval to proceed with our dossier. Hoping to have everything complete and ready to ship our dossier by June 1st 2012. Mean while we will be saving and a saving for trip one. Cost $808.00 two visas for children, hotel for 6 to 7 days $800.00-$900.00,  & airline tickets for two $3,000-$5,000 depending on time of travel. So roughly $5,000 & $6,000 for agency ($11,000 needed by August 2012)

Second trip $5,000 remainder of agency fees, airlines $6,000 and hotels one week $1200.
Estimate  $12,200.00 to $15,000

So grand total as of this moment needing to save and raise is $23,200.00 to $25,200.00 for these two precious children. There is not a day I do not worry about the money we need to complete our adoption.  I keep thinking over and over that these children need a home, a family and plenty of kisses and hugs from a momma and poppa.  Please add our little ones to your prayers.  Send our blog to others in hopes for sponsors and donations.  We will take pennies, nickles anything.  Every cent counts during an adoption. I pray each night for a miracle and I know God will lead us in finding the necessary funds.   May your New Year be blessed. :O)))
