Thanksgiving Miracles
Last night, after dinner, we were discussing with our family the costs of adoption. Since we have decided to pay, even though we are going through public adoption, we will pay for our homestudy, which is a big chunk, plus any travel expenses, notary fees, background checks, yada yada yada....
Right then, Greg's dad offered to pay the homestudy fee itself, so we could get started! Gianna could hardly contain the tears! Then, her dad and stepmom gave us a check as a belated anniversary gift to help cover outher costs!
Gianna's mother has been a continual source knowledge about the system, and an ear to listen when I gripe. Greg's mom has shown her interest and support in the process.
We still have a little over half of the $1,000 to earn, but we have the beginnings.
We are overwhelmed with the love and support our family has offered us.
We just couldn't be more thankful.

How wonderful!!!! I am happy for you two! Family that is supportive is the best. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhile out shopping today, my mom and her friend keep looking at and talking about baby stuff. She says it is as if I am pregnant and she has to look and see what her grandchild will need/want. She was all giddy. It made me want to cry because it is so far off from how she first reacted to news that we wanted children.
I am thankful we are going through the adoption process together even though they are different types. It helps me. :-)
