First Goal.....Check.

We made it!!  We have officially reached our first fundraising goal.  When we first started the adoption process, our goal was to have $5000 raised by June.  With the $5K, we can pay for our application fees, home study, and the first installment to the adoption agency.  Well, as you can see, God blew "our" plans out.of.the.water.  Just this morning in my Bible study, I was praying that God would simply work however HE wanted to...I wasn't praying for him to supply the remaining funds in any particular way, but just for Him to work in whatever way that would bring Him the most glory.  Well, He decided to work through someone that we don't even know!  I'm so amazed by the way His plans are fulfilled.  We were given a check that covered the remaining balance, plus some!
Check out the fundraising page for the updated totals.

Our ultimate goal is at least $30,000, so we've still got quite a ways to go until we've got our adoption funded!! 

So, what's next? 

Now, it's time to submit our agency application and home study application!  Of course, we have to actually be sure on the country we're adopting from before we do that....so here's the question:

 

What country do you think we'll choose?

I'm curious to see and hear your thoughts!  I have the applications pretty much completed, so it won't be long, and we'll be on our way!  Leave a comment, and let us know your ideas!!
