Today Jon put the adoption program "downpayment" on our credit cards. We were very happy to hear they still had Adoption Month $1,000 grants left! Little did we know when we started applying in November, that November is Adoption Month, so both our agencies had some money saving offers. Our Wisconsin agency took $200 off of their initial application, and AGCI had the $1000 grant if we had all of our application paperwork and payment in by the end of December. They only had 20 of these grants, with only a few left from what we understood, so we were nervous we wouldn't get the $1000. Like our Aunt told us, "every penny counts," and we are so grateful to have been able to benefit from applying in November! God was watching over us and the timing of this process!
Four years. Four years ago today, our second blessing jumped into our arms for the first time. Four years ago today, these two became brothers and best friends. Four years ago today, all our worlds changed. And yet, how can it have only been four years? Feels like he has been our son from day one. The Lord blessed us ten-fold the day we met you, my son, our Tope. My world is better with you in it.
