Approved!!

So, today we got some great news from our agency! Our coordinator reviewed our application and info with social services today and they have given us conditional approval! I know that sounds weird but it's actually very gracious of them. Because of new rules, they are asking that each family have $10,000 from the start of the adoption instead of as you go along. Since we don't have that, they did not have to accept our application. However, they thought everything looked great and they like our ideas for fundraising and are trusting God along with us to provide for this adoption. Our conditional approval actually helps us because it waives the need to re-apply after 90 days. If we do need additional time we will not have started a homestudy or other documentation that have time constraints on them and have to pay to re-do them. So we are soo thankful that they have done this for us!

We are working on the date and location for this big rummage sale that we're having. We're pretty sure we have a location down but I don't want to announce anything before it's in stone. We'll keep you updated! Keep praying! Again, if you have anything you want to donate to the sale, let us know! Oh, by the way, Isabel is patiently waiting. She said, "Mommy, when my baby brother or sister comes I will give them my blanket to sleep with. I have to wait first and we have A LOT of papers to do." Cute. :)
