The garage sale was a huge success! Thank you to all of those that donated and shopped. It is because of your support that we were able to raise a lot of money for our adoption.
It is amazing how many lives have been touched by adoption. Chris and I had made signs and posted them around the sale that said that all the proceeds would go for adoption. So many people came up and told their stories of either how they had adopted, were adopted, or were even saved from foster care because of adoption. It was a wonderful day that led to a motivational high for both Chris and me.
Currently, we have turned in our application and are waiting as it is being processed. Meanwhile, we have plans to meet with good friends and learn as much of the home study process as possible.
It seems as though, those who have adopted join an unspoken club where they bond together to make new adoptive parents feel as though everything is doable and normal. They reach out with phone numbers and much needed advice. It has been wonderful.
