We have applied for an interest free loan to be paid back with the adoption tax credit, which is currently $13,170. We are praying that we are approved for it, and that we receive grants to make up the difference of the near $30,000 that our adoption will cost. We have submitted applications for 4 grants so far and there are a few more that we can apply for a little later on in the adoption process. The cost of adoption is a strain on most people’s finances, but following God’s will is always a walk of faith. When He calls us to do something, He always provides the way. And though the unknown is scary, we continue trekking along on this journey. At this point with our I-800A submitted to the USCIS and the dossier submission right around the corner, I am getting more and more anxious with anticipation of getting matched with our child. I will be praying daily that she is safe and well cared for, that we bond easily with her, and that we have her before the end of the year. Please commit to praying daily for our adoption and for the estimated 160 million orphans worldwide (a staggering number). There is great power in prayer that is aligned with God’s will.
If you have any questions about our adoption or adoption in general that I may be able to answer, you may submit them as a comment under this post.
