Piles of paperwork

The overwhelming amount of paperwork!! There is a common saying in the adoption world that if you stop doing paperwork than you stop being pregnant.  It is very true!! Everyday you are pregnant you have to take care of that little one living inside of you.  When you are adopting the only way to get closer to that little one, the only thing you can do to keep the process moving, the only thing that is a constant is PAPERWORK!! We are at a little bit of a stand still with paperwork as we wait on Agencies, Government, NBC and the MOJ.  Standing still is way to hard for me so in order to feel like we are still progressing forward I have dove head first into Fundraising mode.  I have been amazed at how hard it is to fundraise when you are not a Nonprofit but that is NOT going to stop us.  I have been busy making flyer's, letters, announcement cards, yard sale signs, and much more.  Today I went a viewed a venue for the Night Out Event!! It is perfect and the lady who owns it is so great.  I am excited to get started planning that event.  Our 5k/10k run is coming along nicely.  We are almost ready to start collecting business sponsor for the t-shirts.  The yard sale pile is growing almost daily thanks to such amazing people.  We have had two WONDERFUL people purchase coffee on https://justlovecoffee.com/loveoutloud.hawley.  We are truly blessed to have such amazing people surrounding us and supporting us through this journey. THANK YOU!!
