Update!

We received our Home Study Final Draft in the mail on Saturday. Now that we have this document, we are able to start applying for adoption grants! Also since we received this document, we were able to move to the final step of our Dossier process. Applying to the USCIS for our approval from Immigration to adopt. We mailed this application off with our payment of $890 on Monday. It generally takes 4-6 weeks to receive the approval from this application. When we get our approval, we then (if we have got Daniel's passport back by then) can submit our Dossier!!!!!!!!!! This would mean the last of our Paper Chase! Once we submit our Dossier all we do is wait for our referral with our childs information, this could take 18-24 months!!! When submitting our Dossier we have to pay $7700. This payment pays $2000 our Mid-Payment to the agency, $800 for Dossier Translation/Authentication, $1000 for our Post-Adoption Deposit (we receive this amount if we complete our post adoption reports), $150 Courier Fee, and $3750 for the first half of the International Program fee. We have about $4700 of this payment raised. We need to raise $3000 as soon as possible, since we could receive our approval within 4 weeks. We are having a Garage Sale tomorrow, please be praying we meet this $3000 goal at that sale! We will also be having our online silent auction June 2-9th on our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/HuffAdoptionJourney). Please visit closer to that date to get more information. Lots of goodies have been donated!!! Almost 30 items to bid on!!!
