As our domains knit themselves together, I've been reassessing some of our goals and re-prioritizing them in relation to our fundraising. Knowing we are going to launch a full-scale campaign and hoping we will garner some support from friends and family who may not know about our adoption plans and why raising the funds quickly is important, we have put our goals on different levels and time frames.
Our #1 goal at this time is securing the $1150 necessary to effectuate our homestudy. The homestudy is the one step that FOR CERTAIN Hubs has to be home to complete, it is the one thing required by organizations giving grants and/or loans to prospective adoptive parents and it is a threshold issue to adopting anyway. I've been in contact with our homestudy agency of choice, explained our particular situation and asked for her advice. She thought my idea of moving the homestudy to the tippity top of the list was a good one and could open doors to more fundraising opportunities once successfully completed.
Given the participation so far in our fundraising drive, we need only to gather up $800 for the homestudy. That seems like a do-able, incremental goal.
We're going for it.
We're glad you're along for the ride.
