It's been so fun to write the names on the backs of each piece and pray for the families who are supporting us. You will never know how much it means to us.
If you'd like to donate your piece or more to help us complete our puzzle, each piece is a $10 donation and you can go to our secure donation site we set up for our adoption www.youcaring.com/starkeyadoption or paypal to aprilcstarkey@gmail.com or you can send a check in the mail! :)
We are hoping to be homestudy approved by May 1st so we can then start applying for grants as well. They are very hard to get but we are going to try :)
We are narrowing down other agencies and praying and deciding which one (s) we will also get on the waiting list as well.
We are so thankful my job with Usborne will be paying for most of this adoption. The thing is we pay other things with my job as well and so it will take us around one to one and a half years to save up the full estimated $30,000-$35,000 or more needed and so we want to apply for grants and do fundraisers to help incase we get matched beforehand and don't quite have it all saved up from my job! :)
So part of me is so excited to finally be getting on the waiting list soon and the other part of me is nervous because we don't know how soon or how long it will be before we get matched! :) However, one thing I've definitely learned over the years and all we've been through is that it's ok that we don't know because God does, He knows the perfect time He will grow our family into a family of 5! I've also learned that if we allow Him, He can do amazing things in our growth and through our lives, in the waiting!
