I'm sure you noticed the look of this blog has changed. The race is over and now it's time to prepare to fly! We have about 4 short months left to prepare for our travels to China! Our sweet boy is getting excited to meet our family. And we are making the final push with our fundraising.

Here's the latest fundraising update:

To date we have raised over $22,940.00  toward our adoption! That is one BIG exciting number. To look back and realize we really did not have a penny set aside for this adoption 8 months ago and to realize where we are now is such a blessing. God is good.

We have about $9,795 estimated expenses left to go before our son steps foot in the United States. Here's the breakdown of our estimates of what is left:
-$340 visas for Brad and I to enter China
-$3600 airfare
-$950 in-country transportation and guide fees
-$1,500 hotel
-$2,000 remaining program fees
-$550 medical exam for Ty in China (required for embassy and consulate to exit the country)
-$300 possible vaccines
-$230 visa for Ty to enter US
-$325 courier fee for paperwork in China

Most of these monies will be needed at the time of travel. Obviously our visa fees and airline tickets will happen shortly before we leave, but pretty much everything will be needed in about 4 months when we board the plane.

So the fundraising wheels are continuing to turn. We are coming, little boy!
