Baby Steps (literally....)

The adoption process will take about 12-18 months once I get the home study completed - that's the first big step.  The cost will be about $12k total, but the home study itself is $2500.  My first goal is to get enough money together to get that part completed so the clock will begin ticking down.  I am currently looking for a part-time job so that I can start saving for the next costs.  I am also hosting a Fundraiser/Cookout in a few weeks to hopefully raise a little bit to put towards the home study.  (It's also a good excuse to get friends I never get to see together and hang out and enjoy the fall weather!)  The information is below and all are invited!  It's going to be a fun time and I am excited to share this journey with people I love.  Hopefully things will get going and I will be able to update with more exciting information soon.
