God has continued to bless us as we've worked to raise funds for the hosting fees and adoption-related expenses. In addition to our garage sale and Mary Kay fundraisers, we've had a couple of large monetary donations come in from out of the blue. This is a special day for us as we were just informed that an anonymous donor will be covering the remaining expenses for the hosting!! WOW!! We have no idea who the donor is and would love to let them know personally how much this means to us. This is a HUGE blessing!! The hosting fees are now completely paid for so we can focus on raising money for the adoption-related expenses (fyi, this means that Simple Obedience will no longer be accepting donations on our behalf since they are a hosting ministry only and not assisting us with the adoption phase of this). We plan to adopt independently without an adoption agency...basically, cutting out the "middle man." Thankfully, we have met many other adoptive parents who have adopted this way and they have contacts in Latvia (e.g., attorneys, translators, etc.) who can help us with the court proceedings. Adopting independently will save us a lot of money.
So, whoever you are, if you happen to see this, just know that your gift means so much to us and we pray that you will be richly blessed for your kindness and generosity!!
