UPDATE on Adoption Funds!

WOW! – we do not have the words to express our gratitude for the support we have received concerning our adoption of Jazhel (Isaac)!  So many have helped us, prayed for us and with us, and given generously toward our expenses.  Thank you for this amazing outpouring of love!

To date, we have just about $21,000 toward our total expenses!  Our fundraiser itself totaled approximately $8000 in gifts, and we have been receiving other individual donations since December.  The grant we received from Brittany’s Hope Foundation was $4000.  All these together have brought us to this amazing total.

We anticipate a grand total cost of $25,000 -$27,000 by the time all is said and done and he is officially adopted.  This includes upcoming travel expenses and also adoption lawyer fees once we have had him home for 6 months.

Our best guess is that we will be traveling to the Philippines in June – maybe late May, at best.  We are waiting for more information back from US Immigration, and Jazhel is currently going through his final Medical and Visa appointments so that he will be all ready to go and they can plan travel dates for us!

We are anxiously waiting to get a date and time for our first Skype session with him!

THANK YOU, Thank You, Thank You!!  We can’t say it enough!
