Hi everyone, it's been some time since our last update. As we get further along in the process there is less for us to do and more for us to wait. Our home study was finalized on Monday and sent to DCFS for approval which should take 4-6 weeks. Once we receive the approved home study we can send it to USCIS for approval. After we receive approval from USCIS we can apostille our documents and send the completed dossier to Russia. Then we wait.
On the fundraising side, we received a more detailed estimate of expenses from our agency and realize we are far from reaching our goal. I'm still running the marathon in October and seeking sponsors. We've also determined our available credit via 401(k) borrowing and credit cards - a home-equity loan is probably no longer possible given the drop in home values. As soon as the home study is approved we can also apply for other adoption grants and loans. And, you can still help us by online shopping. Thanks again to all of you who've volunteered your time, purchased notecards or donated to our cause. We greatly appreciate it.
