We are so so so thankful to all our friends and family who have donated, supported fundraisers, shared fundraisers, volunteered, and kept us going emotionally. I am SO FREAKING THANKFUL to our big donor who knocked out 25% of our goal, and gave us the opportunity to get it matched by grants!!! And I am thankful to my hubby for working hard and making all the money for everything we need to live ;) so I can be a stay-at-home mom and run my wedding business. This adoption would NOT be funded without your hard work every day Honey!
We are still waiting to hear back on one grant that will help with post-adoption medical costs, but we have reached our (estimated) goal of fees and travel to Taiwan! Now if we would just get approval for the kids already! ;) $10,000 Big Donor $ 4,495 Friends & Family Donations $ 2,082 Fundraiser Profits (which always boosted donations!) $ 3,500 Matching Grant + Every single Bonus, COVID stimulus check, Tax return, and budget leftovers for almost a year

We have news!!!
1. We received MORE questions from Taiwan today! We were really really hoping to hear from them this week because we have heard from them early June & early July. And today we did! It wasn't Final Approval that we get the kids, but something! It is clear that they want to be really sure we are prepared to parent 4 kids, with behavior issues and language barrier. It is cool to see how diligent they are in choosing the perfect family for Sister & Brother. 2. We were approved for a matching grant by Lifesong for Orphans !!!!!! We already have a donor who was waiting for this moment, so we don't have to do more fundraising to get the grant! That puts us only $4,000 away from our Goal, and $6,000 away from our expected expenses for adoption & travel. Almost there! What next?
