It's been awhile since we've received a donation, so I couldn't help to notice that it appears someone has donated $120 (or so?) to Evan's Reece's Rainbow fund! I am so thrilled! I want to say thank-you to whoever felt compelled to give and did so!
James and I both have changed our W-4's tax withholdings to exempt, so we hope to save the extra income from our paychecks to go towards the adoption. We are doing this because the adoption tax credit for 2012 is non-refundable which means you have to owe money to utilize it. So I am doing my best to try to access the credit in the meantime!
Any day I should be receiving our updated homestudy in the mail. Once I receive it I will be applying for grants, most of which cost money to even apply for! Hopefully we can receive a grant, even if it is for a little amount.
Adoption is very expensive, but I'm certain we will come up with the needed funds to do this! Thank you to everyone who had helped us thus far. I can't believe how long everything is taking... but it is only a matter of months now before we will be Evan's parents!
I know the wait seems long now (it sure did for us), but soon... that little boy will be in your arms!
