Where Are We??

We just received notification that the Department of Citizenship and Immigration Services received our I800/LOA today. All of this adoption paperwork gets REALLY confusing! Many people ask us, "Where are you in the process?" Here is a graphic that details how complicated this whole process really is:

We are near Step 10!!

As you can see there are still a few key steps till we get to plan our trip and have the exact dates for travel. It looks like mid-November is about when we will get to go. It's all getting very very REAL. And exciting. The boys are anxious and excited about mom and dad going to China. We feel the same way.

The older boys are busy now with flag football and soccer practices, games and school. Goodness. We are sure busy these day! I'm not sure how we would be doing all this without Jesse at home! It's sure been a HUGE blessing to have him home this school year.

After the Quilt Fundraiser donations have all been processed, we have ran the numbers and we are still about $7,500 short before we travel. We have a few more fundraisers up our sleeves and are awaiting the outcomes of two possible grant determinations.

So far, Jesse has found a small 20 inch x 20 inch tan table he will turn into a Lego table, just like the one he made for our boys. We will make it and deliver it to the highest bidder. We are starting bids at $50 dollars to make sure all of the costs to make it are fully covered. If you are interested in bidding, please do so on our Facebook or email us your bid to bringingkameronhome@gmail.com.

Lego Table to go to the Highest Bidder!

Soon we are also going to be launching an Usborne Books Party and Cards for a Cause. If you are interested in getting some awesome books and/or cute cards, AND getting to help bring Kameron home, please let me know! Thank you Ashley for offering to do this fundraiser for us!

 Thank you for taking this journey with us. Thank you for coming alongside and encouraging us. It has literally blown us away to witness the generosity of our community and the goodness and support from you all for our cause! Sometimes, the number crunching gets overwhelming and the road feels long and impossible. Right when those moments hit, something amazing happens that just blesses our socks right off.
