Well, it is official. Mike and I are starting the adoption process and have selected our the adoption agency we are going to use. We will be going through Amazing Grace adoptions located in Raleigh, NC. They were economically priced and we liked the fact that they are located locally so we wouldn't have to travel long distances for educational courses.
The minimum we would probably expect to pay for an adoption is around $15,000 upto $20,000 based on the information provided. We have decided to start the process even though we do not have the required funds and are trusting that God will provide us with the ways and means in which to pay for the adoption. In the meantime, I've applied for a part-time job to help pay for misc. expenses related to the adoption process.
We are planning on creating a cookbook and other items for sale through Lulu.com but have also set up a "widget" to accept donations towards our adoption fund. If you would be interested in the cookbook, photos or just donating in general, we would love to hear from you. To make a dontion, here is our widget...
Our goal is to raise approx. $10,000 towards our adoption fund in the hopes that it will cover at least 50% to 75% of our adoption fees. We would also like to thank all our friends and family that decide to donate towards our adoption fund!
God Bless,
Pam & Mike

Best of luck on your adoption. My little neice was adopted and she is the most wonderful little girl in the whole wide world. Sure, maybe I'm a little biased but...no really, she is the best. :) Her mom and dad went through hell to adopt, but they say it was all worth it and more. I wish you lots of luck! Be patient and hopeful and persistant and hopefully you'll be surrounded by wrapping paper, friends, and family at your baby shower before long!
