As of Monday, June 16th, we are officially active!
What does “active” mean?
From what we understand, "going active" means we will start receiving multiple "cases" a week with criteria that meets what we specified in our application. Each week we will choose which cases to present on and which to not. On the cases we choose to present our profile book will be shown to the birth mom, and she will decide if we are a good fit for her. In 7-10 days we will get an answer from the consultants on her decision regarding our family.
So what’s next?
As our consultants put it, "Prepare your heart for what is next. The paperwork phase is over, but that was the only step you had any control over. These next steps are all about leaning into Jesus and waiting expectantly on what He has in store for your family." Even though the paperwork was tedious at least we had something to do, in the coming months we will just be waiting and preparing however we can. Part of that is continuing to raise money so that when we are matched with a child, we have the necessary funds at hand.
Please consider donating to our adoption fund.
We have raised a little over 25% of our $50,000 goal so far; we still have a long way to go. The financial burden we are facing during this time is one of the biggest anxieties, but we know the Lord will provide. For those of you who have given already, we can never thank you enough for your support!
Lastly, please continue to pray for God's provision both financially and emotionally, and for patience as we go through theses next months of waiting.
With Love and Gratitude,
Tiffany & Aaron
