Starting to fall into place

So yesterday was my birthday and I did secretly hope that the universe would align and we would get the call that we have been waiting for....that call didn't come, but I was reminded how amazing my husband is. Since we first made the decision to adopt one thing has been causing us to hesitate and has caused us distress....MONEY. As I have discussed in this blog adoption is not cheap. With the help of our family and friends we raised the first installment of $4,300 towards to adoption. For my birthday my amazing husband gave me a card, and it said that we no longer have to worry about the cost of the adoption because it is all in the bank. Jeremy has worked every weekend this summer, over time, extra accounts, side jobs and much more, he has been saving, saving, saving without me really knowing. Well he did it! He always promised that he would make it happen and I know that we both had concerns that it wasn't possible,but it WAS. With the hard work of Jeremy, his love for me, and his desire to be a dad he MADE it happen. We can now take the call from the social worker and not have $8,600 looming over our head and our excitement.

Thank you to everyone for your support and donations during this time. Now all we need is kind words, warm thoughts and prayers. I know that the call will come and our child will be in our arms at some point, for now we are just trying to enjoy our time together and wait for everything to fall into place. Thank you again and continue you checking in because soon we will have the post that we have all been waiting for.

Update

I wanted to check in with everyone. Things are going pretty well here. I had a yard sale this weekend and raised $250. We officially have raised and saved 2 installments, we only have one more of $4,300 to get in the bank. I say only like it isn't a lot of money, we know how much money that it is but we are doing good and the support of our family and friends has really helped. By having the first two installments ready we can take a call from the social worker and not be overly concerned about not being able to come up with the remaining money. Once we get that last installment we can start working on saving our money to have a good safety net financially when the baby is actually here....we hear babies are expensive, lol. We can't wait for those expenses and excitements.

The glider is all set up in the nursery and I find it relaxing to go sit in there and just think about what we have been through. Things are hard but we really are excited and in a good place. Thank you again to everyone for your amazing support. Please keep thinking good thoughts and helping us through.
