OK Lord, but how???
I began researching all I could on international adoption. We knew that it was only by God's grace that we would be able to make this a reality, financially speaking. We did not have any money in our budget to put toward the cost of this adoption. We just knew that somehow God would make a way. As I researched a few websites on grants for adoptive parents I quickly learned that you can't even apply for these grants until you have an approved homestudy. This was to cost around $2000.00. I was a little discouraged until I saw some ads for fundraisers that seemed interesting. I launched a "phoneraiser" which would gather people's old cell phones and ink jet cartridges. I would then mail them to a company who would pay the shipping and also give a certain amount for each phone and cartridge. It really was very simple. However, we soon realized that this was not going to yield much in the way of finances. After a short break to seek God and pray about our next move, we initiated Plan B.
