We've started a type of timeline in our home ... we are documenting special dates and milestones reached in regards to our adoption process and we are even including documenting those who are helping us to bring home our two Chinese boys.
We are transforming "this door" (it leads to our pantry) our adoption timeline!
We have a full sheet listing of various milestones that must be achieved in the adoption process all the way until we travel to China to officially adopt the boys. Then each time we have reached a special milestone, we have been highlighting that date via the entry from a daily desk calendar. Each day has a Bible verse and a note and then the milestone or special comment is added. So far, we've included the dates we received "Pre-Approval" from China to adopt each boy, the date our homestudy was approved, etc ...
The hands represent each person(s) who have helped us so far with our fundraising and/or monetary fees and expenses involved with the adoption process.
Every hand is a 'helping hand' and we are SO THANKFUL for each of you!!
We are so EXCITED to be able to show Jonah and Rees this living, documented testimony of how SO MANY are a part of bringing them into our family!!
We can't wait to see what it looks like in a few months!!
Some people have graciously sent us donations to help us with our adoption fees and expenses. We have set up a separate account to hold those funds until the various fee due dates.
Some have donated to our fund by participating in various fundraisers ... we are currently still having the Origami Owl fundraiser and if you're interested, there's still time. Several lovely ladies have already ordered and we have been getting very positive feedback on their purchases.

Please be sure, if you decide to make a purchase, to use code (62648) so that we will get credit for your purchase. These lockets are very pretty and F-U-N and this fundraiser will still be happening until 5/25/15.
Some have also utilized us for some odd jobs, which we are very excited about!! We are MORE THAN HAPPY to HELP SOMEONE as they HELP US!! We are open to a variety of odd jobs and tasks so if you have something you've been wanting to get done and just haven't, something you'd like to have done for which you're willing to donate towards our adoption fund, we would L-O-V-E love to help you!!
