Moving Forward and why we are Fundraising

We are finally scheduled for our Home Study! We will have it this Saturday and we are pretty excited. This means that the Agency we are going through comes and spends about 2-3 hours in our home and asks us very deep and personal questions about how we grew up, how we parent and discipline. Things of that nature. 

We are getting through all of our paperwork, and we are currently waiting on our background checks from the state. We still have to do finger prints and once that is done, I think that is it for now on our end. 

We decided to fundraise for a couple different reasons. Yes, we do get paid from the state when we have a foster child. We don’t get that money until AFTER the first month of a child being in our home. So we have furniture, diapers, formula and all that that we will need. We will also have to buy clothes, and everything that goes along with a baby. There are also costs that we have to pay for not only for us but also for my parents. Since my parents live with us, they also have to go through background checks, finger printing, and the home study. We appreciate everyone who has donated to us already. After our puzzle piece and greeting card fundraisers are done, we will be done for now with fundraising. We are SO appreciative of everyone coming along side of us with this journey! Thank you for your prayers as well!
