This covers our application, homestudy, (a homestudy is required by law. A social worker visits our home and will interview each of us, and make an overall assessment of the life, home, environment our adopted child will be entering into. This takes around 2-4 months to complete.), and our U.S. Processing Fee (covers our agency's cost to facilitate our adoption with agency and government officials in both the United States and Korea. Processing expenses include — but are not limited to — personnel costs, administrative overhead, operational costs, staff training and education, communications and publications costs. This fee also covers all registration and translation costs related to submitting our dossier once we are matched with a child.)
We are meeting with our social worker on Monday, August 29th for our FIRST HOMESTUDY MEETING! (Man, that seems so surreal to say!)
Watching The Lord provide in such a BIG way is such a HUGE honor!!
Since our last fundraising update, we have placed another t-shirt order, made a whole lot of custom calligraphy signs, and been blown away by the generosity of our brothers and sisters in Christ!
It has been an extremely busy month and things are just going to get crazier with all of the paperwork and an even higher fundraising goal to hit! But we know God has called us to this journey and we know that our sweet babe is so, so worth it!
