Slow going....

I have no news about the actual adoption. We are still waiting for our social worker to finalize our home study report. I know she is a busy lady, but it's really hard not to get frustrated. I think we've been waiting for about 3 weeks and we can't move forward without it.

In other news...
Our agency (AWAA) has made a policy change regarding the Eternal Family Program. This is a program where donations can be made on behalf of the adoptive family through the AWAA website. The changes are as follows:
          Effective May 30, 2014 an administrative fee of 5% will be charged to each contribution made. While this is  not a significant fee in the grand scheme, it will help us to ensure the continued growth and effectiveness of the Eternal Family Program.

A second change that will be effective May 30, 2014 affects cases where families raise more than their adoption costs. In such cases, the excess funds will be retained by America World and go directly toward furthering our ministry to orphaned and vulnerable children.

Lastly....
The Origami Owl fundraiser my cousin Melissa put on was a huge success! Her commission for the party was over $500 and she gave it ALL to us! We are so thankful for all the love and support from everyone so far!
These are my 2 necklaces. My sister-in-law bought me the first locket with carriage, feet and cross when we were going through infertility. That's the beauty of these lockets; they can grow and change with you!

This is my adoption locket. We hope to get a big and a girl! 

Did you know ladybugs are good luck in China?

This one is all Brian and I.

Until next time... Hopefully I'll have some real news!
