Yesterday I posted that I needed $250 to be able to send all of my documents to Tallahassee to be certified and then on to Houston to be authenticated.
The total needed was $825
$140 State certification
$325 Chinese authentication
$195 Consulate Courier Fee
$165 FedEx fees
I had a yard sale this past weekend and was able to make a big chunk of the money. I only needed the $250 to be able to mail the documents off. Last night I went to bed a little discouraged because I had only received a small donation but I was happy that I had received that donation to help us. Everything helps.
Today a sweet facebook adoption mama friend posted about my need and within the hour I received the remaining amount of money needed to be able to make this all possible. Sooo happy right now!
I am beyond ecstatic that I am able to send off my documents. I do not have the extra $300 to expedite the whole dossier through authentication so my agency did ask CCCWA for an extension. I am still doing everything I can to try to meet that deadline.
I am so thankful to my facebook adoption friends and to God for this gift!
Now what is next? Once my dossier goes to China I will have my DTC fees and LOA fees due so I will be fundraising again. The $5000 I had saved but had to use for moving expenses I now have to make up again.
Please stop by our fundraising shop and buy some of our beautiful shirts!
