Hey Family & Friends!
We hope you are doing well. First, I will update you on the adoption progress. Today we were sent the final draft of our home study. It is an 11 page, 7000 word document about each member of our family, our parents and siblings, details about our upbringing, how we raise our children, our personal finances, our neighborhood & community, and recommendations about our ability to adopt.
With our homestudy nearly complete, our adoption agency, Adoptions Advocates International, let us know that we are OFFICIALLY on the waiting list for a child! We are extremely excited about the progress we have made in just a few short months. The next step is to wait for the referral of a child....and of course we will keep you updated!
With that good news, we would like to tell you about this "Totally Awesome 80's Party" we will be having on June 30th. Most of you know that Kristen enjoys exercising and I enjoy martial arts and wrestling. In the past two months, we started attending just that, a fitness center and grappling team. Kristen and I have become friends with the owners of Three B Fitness and Grapplers Unlimited, Bonnie and Brandon Cunningham. After learning about our intent to adopt, Bonnie and Brandon offered to do a fun run and grappling seminar as a fundraiser to help us. It is going to be a blast and we would love to see you there. If you live in the CSRA or are interested in coming, grab your headbands and short-shorts and come out for the 80's Fun Run. ****Please no short-shorts during the grappling seminar***** :)
Thanks to all of you for your continued prayers and support!
