Our fourth bedroom, which will one day become Viktor’s bedroom Lord willing, is currently being used for “Yard Sale Central.” We have been nesting big time, cleaning out every closet one by one, finding things to sell to 1) raise revenue for the adoption and 2) make room in this house for a family of 8!
It has been a fun task for all of us finding things we can give up or donate to the cause. We are planning a yard sale for some time early March or possibly late February if we can get everything together by then. We have been so grateful for so many friends offering to help with the yard sale, donating items, and helping us price everything. (If you have any choice items you’d like to get rid of to donate to the cause, let us know; we’d be happy to pick it up and get it off your hands!)
The Lord has been so gracious to provide much of our needed funds through generous friends and family as well. To date, we are humbled to announce that the Lord has provided $22,655 toward the adoption of Tanya and Viktor! After looking more closely at the costs involved, especially the costs involved at the end of the process and bringing them home, as well as adding the second child, our projected costs are right at $30,000, which means we only lack $7,345! We are so, so thankful for each of you who have prayed for us and generously helped us put this together.
We will have our third meeting for our home study this Thursday, so please be in prayer for us and our social worker in this. We are thankful for this time to look closely at our hearts, our home, our intentions, our finances, our support system, and get the much needed resources to bring two older children home and integrate them into our family.
Seeing God provide us with peace, reassurance, resources and hope has been so confirming in our hearts that we are indeed walking in obedience to what He has called us to. We are so grateful to each of you who have cheered us on, prayed for us, and supported us through this. We are praying ten-fold blessings back on you and your families!
