200 Envelopes for Baby Matticola

We have created a new fundraiser to help us bring a baby home. Do not worry we will still be collecting the baby bottles as well. The new fundraiser is called 200 envelopes for Baby Matticola. You can join our group on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/760603750679926/. Or you can search for the group 200 envelopes for baby matticola. If you are not a member of facebook and would like a number just leave a comment on here and I will put your name down for that envelope.

How it works:

Step 1: Choose the envelope you want. There are 200 envelopes, numbered 1-200.
1. You can choose the number of an envelope and donate that amount. If you choose 53, you would donate $53.00.
2. You can get together with a group of friends (from work, sunday school, church, school, etc.) and choose an envelope and together you would fill the envelope with that amount. The higher number envelopes are good for this. If you chose 198, then together you would raise $198.00.

Step 2: Send us a check or cash with that amount of money. Email me and I can send you our address or we can meet up if you are local.

Step 3: Celebrate!!! You just helped in an awesome way and we are now one step closer to bringing Baby Matticola home.

Home Study

Home Study

We are excited to announce our Home Study will be next Saturday, November 22nd. She will arrive at our house around 10:00 am. She said it would not take more than 3 hours. During this time she will be interviewing us and going over paper work. We are a little nervous so please send a few extra prayers up this week for us. We have everything ready except for a few more paper work items we need to complete. Our HS packet contained 59 pages of things we had to complete so we have been very busy over the past week since we submitted our application to the HS Agency. Not all of these items had to be completed before she arrived but we wanted to make a good impression. I think we will know our results within 30 days of her visiting us.  To anyone who is reading this and has had a HS before any tips are welcome. We feel like we are ready for this and we know that God has a plan for us.  

Baby Bottle Fundraiser Update:

We have collected several baby bottles back and passed them back out as quick as we are receiving them. Thank you to those who have filled yours up already. With the baby bottles we have received back so far we have been able to pay for our applications and agency fees. We really appreciate all the prayers and support we have received.  If you still would like a baby bottle and you have not received one please inbox me and I will get you one. 

Our next step:

Once we complete our HS we can start applying for grants and loans to help us raise money for the adoption. We will also be working on our Profile which we will be used to present us to different Birth Moms. 

Thanks for the love and support.
