We are so close to being done this adoption!!!!!! Our agency expects our paperwork to be submitted to the US Embassy on either Nov. 16th or the 23. The Embassy then has 10 business days to tell us that we've either cleared or that they need more info. That means that we should hear something the week of Nov. 28th or the week of Dec. 5th. If we clear travel could be just a few days after that. SOOOO we could be back in ET as soon as the first week of December to bring Ezekiel home!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So what is the meaning of the title? Well, we have used up most of our adoption fund. We have about $2,000 left to pay for our 2nd trip travel package and our in-country expenses. However, we still need to raise the funds for our airfare (which looks like it will be somewhere in the $3500-$4000 range) and our post adoption paperwork (somewhere between $1000-$2,000) So basically we need somewhere between $4500 and $6000 to be completely done bringing Ezekiel home and making him officially Ezekiel Aman Sterling DeVol (right now he is Aman George DeVol).
So how can you help? We need ideas for fundraising!!!! Does anyone have any great ideas for us that don't take too long to put into action? I've toyed with the idea of selling Thanksgiving pies but I'm just not sure if that would work so I'm looking for other ideas. Also, obviously if you would just like to donate you can always do that by using the Paypal logo on the left hand side of this blog.
Thank you all so much for your love and support during the last 2 years!!! We have been so encouraged by the outpouring of love we have experienced from family, friends, and strangers and we hope that many of you will be able to join us at the airport when we bring Ezekiel home!
God Bless!!!!!!!
PS. Stayed tuned tomorrow for our Surprise Sidekicks gender reveal. . . .
