Fundraising Goals

Ah, yes, the money question.  There is no question that adoption is expensive.  I had hoped to save more money myself, but as most of you know, my job situation is a little wonky these days.  So ... I'm hoping to raise money for even these initial costs.  I thank you all for your prayers, support, and suggestions.  You are amazing!

Our current goal is to raise enough money to get the home study done.
