We are so sorry we have not updated the blog in a while. It's been crazy busy the last couple of weeks. So in a nutshell I will try to summarize what's going on with the Scotts:
We received our Approved Home Study in the mail on 4-2-10. Praise Jesus! We can begin moving forward.
On 4-3-10 we mailed our I-600A to the United States Citizenship Immigration Services in Memphis along with our $830. We now have to be approved by their office to officially adopt internationally. This process can take anywhere from 4-8 weeks. We are praying for 4 rather than 8 obviously!
We are about 75% done with our Dossier paperwork. We hope to have it all completed in the next few weeks so that we are prepared when our I-171H Form arrives. This is the form that has to come from USCIS.
Current Fundraisers!
We are having our first yard sale of 2010 to help raise money for the adoption this Saturday, April 10th 7:30 - 2pm in the Glen Oaks Subdivision follow the signs. We have a ton of new items. Thanks to all who have donated! If you are thinking "Oh man, I forgot to call the scotts about my stuff I have I wanted to donate!". It's okay. We will have another yard sale May 8th when our subdivision does the big one. We have a ton of kids toys. We are running a special on clothing... Fill a Kroger Paper Bag with as much clothing as you can for $5. We have a ton of miscellaneous items, table set, bedding set, Home Interior pictures of Exotic animals (very nice stuff), and lots more.
Pamela Furgeson is currently offering a photo shoot for $50 min. donations or whatever amount above that God may set on your heart to donate for outdoor pictures of your kids, pets, family photos etc. She is currently raising money for her mission trip to Haiti this summer and has offered to donate a portion of the proceeds to our adoption fund as well as another family adopting! How cool to help out three really good causes and have great photos of your family. She will give you the CD to make as many prints as you would like. If you are interested either email Pamela at mommyandmeembroidery@yahoo.com or myself at godforgives@bellsouth.net.
I have a gift certificate for a cut and style valued at $45 donated by Brittany at Miracles in Hendersonville. I have been going to Brittany for several years and she is very good! We are taking $5 donations for entries to win this gift certificate. Just like our last raffle an entry will be made for each $5 donation. So if you donate $10 that will give you two entries and so forth.
Things to pray for: Our child waiting, the funds to be in place each step of the way, Dossier preparation to go smoothly and for us to be on the waiting list by the end of May.
Congratulations to the Kingsbury's on getting their call this week that they officially have a little boy and little girl sibling group waiting to be brought home to their forever family!
God is good ALL the time! ALL the time God is good!
