Puzzle Update…6th month’s progress…

This update is a little late, I apologize. This month we have made leaps and bounds of progress. I keep looking at the fee schedule to see where we stand, and we are about half way through! All of our agency fees are covered, our 1-600A fees are covered, our adoption training is covered (and finished), our home study review fee is covered, our dossier authentication fee is covered, and we have $1,200 toward our referral fee. We are nearing our final stretch of fundraising! We only need $7,000 more for our referral fee and money for travel expenses. Looking at those numbers seems like a lot at first, but when we consider how far we have come…we are filled with excitement. We are almost there!

This month we had an amazing donation from Nathan’s soccer families. They did a fundraiser of their own in our honor. We were completely surprised and touched by their thoughtfulness. We also had several donations from family members, close friends, and the Flip drawing.  All the love and support is amazing!

I am happy to announce that we added 191 puzzle pieces this month! ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY ONE!!!! A big THANK YOU to everyone, we love you and appreciate your participation in this journey.

We now have a total of 311 puzzle pieces sponsored. Only 189 more to go...

For February, we would like to give a special thanks and lots of LOVE to:
