The Home Study

The home study and all associated requirements are completed as of yesterday!  Here's an overview of some of the recent activity and fees:

December 10 Ordered clothes, shoes, socks, hat and gloves + stuffed panda for Sadie (below) $108

December 12 Visited the local police station in Tallahassee for background checks/letters $20

December 15 1st visit from social worker/home inspection

December 29 2nd visit with social worker-met in Chipley, FL

January 1-5 Completed 4.5 ours of pre-adoption training videos and workbooks

January 13 Started the t-shirt fundraiser

January 14 3rd and final visit from social worker at our house

On the horizon-the second agency payment of $3,138.75 due when the home study is approved later this month and then submitting the i800a application to USCIS with a $890 check.  Lots of money talk and we don't want to focus too much on that-I feel confident that God will provide in different ways, last time we adopted we were able to use all our savings, received two grants, opened a home equity line of credit and received many generous donations.
