How much does it cost to add a family memeber...or two!

I promised to give you a break down of the fees to adopt siblings from Ghana. Some of these are estimates, but most are fixed.

potential referral

I was shopping in Walgreens on Thursday when I received a call from the agency. My heart didn't even race for a second because I just figured there was something wrong with the paperwork. Even though we submitted our dossier (country paperwork) a couple weeks ago now, it wouldn't have surprised me that it was still in office and they were working on it. Not because of anything with the agency, but because everything in the adoption world moves so slow. She was actually calling to verify what age ranges, etc. we were interested in because they had word on a sibling set and we were up first in line for those ranges. A boy age 6 and a girl age 3. Wow. Outside of twins, it was pretty ideal. I have wanted one of each, and to have the boy be older. These ages are both at the top and bottom of what we said would be ideal (ages 3-6).  I don't honestly know what would be ideal though. I know younger would be better for bonding, etc., but this also seems like so much more work (they don't dress themselves, they need more involved daycare, etc). I have really been trying to not "figure it out" and just leave it up to God. I know he knows what is ideal and so I'm going with that! I know that even though we specify what we would like, we can get a referral on just about anything so again, leaving it up to God.
She said that the referral can't be official until they receive the medicals, pictures, and any other info, but that they were verified as orphans and ready to be adopted. She said it would "take some time" before they received the info. When I asked what that meant, she replied, "probably about a week". Ha! I was laughing because again, adoption world is slow and so I figured she meant awhile to be a month or more. So, now we are possibly a couple days away from receiving our referral. Pretty exciting! I guess I'm asking for prayers that this is our timing, that everything will work out with the medicals and all--meaning they are cleared and don't have anything that would prevent the referral to us. Pray also that we will see these kids through God's eyes and not judge their pictures and that we would have a settled heart on accepting it (the referral). If we accept the referral, a lot more money will be due. We sent out letters this week and we pray that everyone will pray about their part in our adoption and that if they feel lead, will contribute financially. 
Love you guys! gotta go watch the fireworks!  God bless America!
