It seems like I haven't posted in awhile about where we are at with funds and our paperwork.

Our friend who has the Eb*y store was able to to sell some things from the box that a family donated to help us raise funds to bring Michael home.

Donna was able to raise $100 for us!  It actually would have been a bit less, but Donna was so kind and didn't charge us the fees associated with having an Ebay store or the fees for Paypal.

We cannot say thank you enough to Donna for doing this for us!  And to the family for donating the box of items!

Also, our Thirty-One fundraiser.  Trisha received some orders and was able to raise $45!  Again, we are so grateful to Trisha for doing this.  We are so blessed (yet still amazed) by folks coming forward wanting to help us. 

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

As for our paperwork, our home study should be done in a few weeks and then we need to have it finalized by our agency and then we apply for our I-800A and it goes to the USCIS for approval and we get our fingerprint appointments.

So with that said, we need $692 to pay to USCIS.

We are getting ready to set up our on-line auction soon and still looking for donations if anyone is interested in wanting to donate.  Please feel free to share with everyone you know.  You can email us at minnie.goofy@comcast.net or leave a comment to let us know.

We also want to say thank you to those stopping by our blog and following along to see how we are doing.
