We were told Ladybug came with a grant just had not seen it come off our bill. We just got a new bill from the agency breaking this down even better for us!!! YES! I have a plan for this see the blue and if you have questions on what the money is for just ask. If you want it to be tax deducible no problem send it to ATWA with a note that it is for us!
ATWA (adoption agency) program fee: $2000 due before Dossier and as soon as we can WE ARE ONLY $250 away from that. Goal April 20th! (If you came to the bounce house fundraiser you helped us reach this goal so fast! Thank you so much for coming! You rock!) (I would love to send you a thank you card email me your address if you was there)
I-800A Immigration: $970 this is where we send our home study they approve us to bring a child in this country and allow her to be a citizen. We also have to be re fingerprinted. This step is obnoxious!!! WE HAVE THIS MONEY FROM LEIGH ANN WORKING! The envelope is ready needs a date and a home study goal to mail is May 10th. Hope to be approved June 30th! After that we hope to have our funds to submit the Dossier... See next step
ATWA Dossier Submission and Processing: $4,760 This is to translate our dossier documents and send to China to get approval to travel.
We will get this money from the yard sale, t-shirt sales, and a car wash in June. And heavy prayer that God will provide. Have no fear for I am with you!
ATWA due at travel: $3950 This is to pay off the adoption agency, help us get situated for travel and finalize the rest of the adoption. This is our last payment to them.
This will be paid by Leigh Ann working half of May June July and August
Orphanage fee: $5,750 have to pay the orphanage to bring her home. That helps them keep on taking little ones.
We will have another couple fundraisers and trust that God will bring us this money to! Lots of trusting and walking in faith here. Grants hopefully will be in and can help!
Airfaire, loging, food: $7700 any one know of some good deals on airline and travel to China I will be needing that info this fall once we have approval to travel!!!
Some more of Leigh Ann working September October and November. Hope to travel in November. And we can Torsten work will pay for most of this as well!
Misc, Visa, Medical Exams, Extra translation fees, and post translation fees: $1385 yes this is what the adoption agency put in the contract to plan for so we will plan for! Not due till the very end and travel.
This is all small things and will come together. Not sure how or when these will come up so not sure how to plan for these.
With all of you by our side this is getting closer and clearer every day. Hope to see you April 26th @530 for Tacos and Bingo! Bring a friend or two!
Go buy a shirt please!!!!!!!!!!!
Blessings
Langley's and Ladybug
