Even with the Christmas festivities surely filling people's days, some have chosen the past couple days to become 1 of our 4,000. We received some mail at our P.O. Box (always fun...who doesn't like to receive mail?!), a hand delivered $5, and an electronic high-five this morning. It continues to be wonderfully inspiring.
For those number people in our readership, we have had the equivalent of 139 people 'give us 5' which puts our total fund at $695. We have met our first benchmark, which will allow us to start our homestudy, and we are nearly $100 to the good on the second benchmark, paying the $550 balance of the study at its end. All good news! I'm scouring the internet for any and all adoption grant programs and my list is ever growing! Once our homestudy is complete, I can send out applications to any and all of them to see if any organizations and such would like to give us multiple 5's. That would be a terrific boost--not to mention it would make for some pretty exciting blog updates!
We hope your Christmas was merry & bright and that 2009 holds lots of surprises (of the pleasant variety!), opportunities and welcome additions for your lives. We'll update again soon!
