Our Auction

We hope you liked what you saw in the sneak peak! There are 43 items on the page now and we will continue posting until the beginning of the auction. If you check out the Our Ugandan Adoption Page, you will see we have paid all our home study fee. We now have our final fees to our placing agency, travel fees and after adoption fees to raise. In total we are expecting about another $23,630 in expenses to complete the adoption!

So here's how it works! Get on Facebook and head on over our Facebook Auction

From there you can request to join the group!

You can browse through the items but you CAN'T bid until the auction officially opens on November 7th at 7AM PST and closes November 11, 2014 at 10 AM PST.

Please share this link with family and friends, post it on Facebook, Instagram, any kind of social media! (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1435369746717958/)

The most important thing you can do in the next 33 days is get as many people into the group as possible. The success of the auction depends on hundreds if not thousands of people seeing the page, joining the group and bidding!

We will send out reminders when the auction is getting closer!

Thank you to the dozens of people who have donated already! The tangible love and support we have seen poured out has been richly blessing us and encouraging us!

Biometrics Appointment Complete!

Another check on the checklist, another task marked off!! We submitted our I-600A less than 3 weeks ago. We were told to expect up to a 2 month wait for our biometrics (fingerprint) appointment. I prayed and prayed we would receive our appointment date by the end of this week. I came home Monday to 4 letters from USCIS with our appointment date set for noon on December 12. It was such a direct answer to prayer, exceeding our request for an already speedy process! Silly government people who assign random times during normal working hours. We both couldn't do it but we've heard from numerous other families that they will often take walk ins. So today, I left school early and we rushed over to the office...we got a little lost on the way, stupid iphone lead us to the completely wrong place! When we arrived we were told we had to speak with the immigration officer to see if he would allow us to walk in. Thankfully we saw the nicest immigration officer there is and he did...

Update and Another Fundraiser

We had a 2 1/2 hour call last week, and an hour call this week with our social worker...Can I just tell you I LOVE our social worker! She is easy to talk to, understands our concerns and is willing to walk the distance with us. She is preparing us for each step of the journey but also helping to prepare our hearts to be parents to our child. I'm so grateful for her expertise, she makes me feel protected in a journey that often feels very uncertain. We are inexperienced at this whole parenting and adoption thing but we've never felt demeaned or like our infinite questions are silly. We will be starting our home study soon...hopefully this week or next. I've realized I've thrown that term around and it confuses many people. A home study is basically an assessment of us as individuals, us as a couple and our physical home. It is a thorough study to make sure we are ready and capable to adopt. It's a long and often time grueling process but I appreciate that they look...

#2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you tell we're a little excited around here. Like laugh and cry at the same time which sets off an asthma attack (true story). WE ARE #2 ON THE WAIT LIST!! WE EXPECT A REFERRAL IN 6 TO 12 MONTHS!!! Wow, thank you Jesus, Praise God, we are going to be parents!! After 18 months of discouraging news, setbacks, indefinite timelines, suspensions it doesn't seem real that we will probably become parents in 2016!! When we left our first agency, we were #11 on the wait list with an indefinite timeline. When we first began talking with our current agency in March, we were told there we would be #4-5 on the wait list when we completed our dossier and wait time would be 12-18 months. They were able to make a couple matches in May and we've moved up to #2!!! Please be praying for us, we are so excited and reality is setting in that our home will be filled with a little person (or persons). We are so grateful for God's sovereignty and provision, we are so excited...
