We have completed our home study update! We're just waiting for a couple more pieces of info to get to our social worker & she'll be able to write it up. WhooHoo! The home study is not just important to begin our adoption process, but also to begin applying for grants. The next step will be applying for the I-600 (immigration request). It cost around $900, so the the fundraising has begun as well. It just feels so overwhelming, the financial costs of adoption, but we know God will provide. We had no idea how we'd raise this much money last time, but He made it happen and Daniel is home with us. The human part of you just panics sometimes!
We have new photos of the boys! It is great talking with them each week, but it's awesome to see their faces!
Our current fundraisers
Shoe collection: Please donate your used shoes! Any shoes you don't wear anymore can be donated to help those in need around the world. You will be recycling and helping people. We can come pick them up from you or you can drop them off. Call me @ 334-799-6765. We earn $100/bag of shoes collected to go towards our adoption expenses!
T-shirt sales: Youth S-XL $15 and Adult S-3XL $20
Tax-deductible donations: You can mail tax-deductible donations to Manifold Mercies, Attn: Holliday Family, P.O. Box 237, Kellyton, AL 35089. (*Per IRS guidelines, our name can not be on the check you send, only the envelope.)
We are hard at work on our dossier (set of documents we send to Ukraine). It's close to complete, but we can't send it until we receive our I-600 approval. So, the waiting game begins! Fill out documents, try to raise funds, and pray without ceasing.
Thank you, all our friends & family for all you have done & are currently doing to help us bring our sons home! We could never do this without your continued support & prayer.
