Ongoing Fundraisers

We have about $4350 in fees due when we receive our approval from immigration (2-3 months or less).  I have added a couple of links to the right side of the blog to help raise some of these funds. 

Amazon Search Box ~ If you shop on Amazon, please use the search box on our blog and we will receive a small percentage from each purchase made through this link.  You can still log into your Amazon Prime account, you will just be helping us at the same time!  Just add our blog to your "favorites" and it will be just as easy as going to Amazon.com. 

Just Love Coffee ~ All of you coffee drinkers, please consider trying this coffee.  We will receive about $5 for every bag of coffee purchased through this link.  You can even join the coffee club and have your favorite coffee delivered to your house at regular intervals.

iPhone Repair ~  Robert is repairing iphones to raise money as well.  If you know anyone who has an iphone with a broken screen or back, please contact me through facebook or email me at jpannell76@gmail.com.  Must be able to meet in Trussville for iphone repair.  You will have your phone back in about an hour. 

Survival Bracelets ~ My 12 year old son makes these bracelets, they are $4 each and made to fit.

Please share this post with everyone you know.  These are ongoing fundraisers that we will continue throughout the entire adoption process.  All proceeds go to our adoption fund.  You can track our progress through the goal thermometers on the right.

Where We Are Now...

Several people have asked where we are in the process so I thought I would give an update.  Our home study was complete on Thursday 12/27 and we sent our I-800A to immigration on Friday 12/28.  The I-800A is to approve us to adopt a child from another country.  We may wait up to 2-3 months for this approval but we are praying it will come much sooner.  Once we receive approval from immigration, we will begin getting the documents for our dossier authenticated so that we can send our dossier to china.  For those who are wondering what a dossier is, this is all of the paperwork and documents we have been gathering that will go to China so we can adopt our little girl!  It will take about 2-3 weeks to get everything authenticated once we receive immigration approval.  I know this is all so confusing if you don't know how the adoption process works but all of you adoptive moms out there know how exciting this is!!  We are so close to having everything done so that we can find out who our child is!  I will update our progress once we move on to the next step.  Please pray that our immigration approval will come very soon.
