we talked with our adoption agency, AGCI, and found out a little more about the way things work. we are SO excited to get started, but in order to mail back our agency contract and even START this process we have to mail in a $9, 250 check with it!
while we knew this fee was coming, we thought we could start and that it would come a little later. so now we're in a pickle! in addition to this fee we also have to pay almost $900 for our fingerprinting and CIS, and also another $1,700 four our homestudy. WOW! apparently you just jump right in!
this is probably going to take longer than we thought! so please PRAY hard for us right now!
- for our baby
- for FUNDS
- for us to trust in God even when things seem to be going wrong
THANK YOU!

Even if the courts close, you will still be able to do what you need to do. It just means that if you start now, you'll be ready to be in line for a referral by the time the courts open again in the fall. We went through this process this time last year with AGCI, and since you're at the beginning stages, court closing will have little to no effect on your adoption unless it would take a year or more. Take care and you're in my prayers.
Hey got your note on my blog. I'm on the AGCI reference list, if you have that and want to chat about how we did it. (Not so good about putting my email out there for the world to see.) You can call or email me if you want. I think we are the only ones on there with "jones" and my first name begins with an "m." If not, post again, and we'll figure something out!

It will happen! God is so amazing and works so hard for His children. I always love to watch these things unfold and see the ways God provides for His children. To us it's God sized, so it's perfect for Him! Oh it's exciting, get ready to be awed by your Maker:) Pray, pray, pray and be proactive and watch God make your efforts enough to accomplish your goal!
Many Blessings!
its so hard to hand over the $$$ part of adoption to God but he does own it doesn't he. I had to daily ask ther Lord to move the mountian in our lives which the mountain was money...The lord answered our prayers in less than 2 moths they lord provided the money for the contratcs and the monet to start our homestudy!! Its was a wow moment in our live and yet here I am a moth later doubting God again, see we are doing as much of the dossier as we can but there is money invloved in the dossier. But the Lord showed me the other night that when we trusted him and did our part( got all the paper work ready, and didn't just wait on him) he provided for us. SO I am doing each day one thing for the dossier and doing all that I can do and resting on the knowledge that God does gives us the desires of our hearst. Another thing God has shown me during this process is that no matter how fast or slow the adoption takes that it will be the right timing for us to get the baby that he waned us to have!!! Hope this helps!! You can email if you have any question also
