1. We are waiting for the State of New York to put their stamp of authentication on two documents. This should only take a few days.
2. We are waiting on 2 individuals who are completing our new letter of recommendation. This should be done in the next couple days.
3. We are waiting for my parents (who live with us) to complete their HIV and TB tests (per Ethiopia) and their doctor forms to be signed.
The good news is that we have no responsibilities right now. So we've decided to have a fundraiser:
Sloane BBQ & Bonfire
Please join us for our adoption fundraiser! August 6th. You will be treated to a delicious grilled dinner, great music and fun in the back yard followed up by smores and other campfire goodies!
Adults = $15 donation
Children = $5 donation
Children under 5 = free
There will be other donation opportunities (for children and adults), so please bring your dollars!
Please feel free to RSVP via Shari's facebook account (shari palermo sloane) or via a response to this blog in the comments.
Although it would be so much fun to have our friends and family present, we understand if you can't attend. If you would still like to send a donation, just ask for our address.
The next step of our process is $9,000 for Ethiopia to view our dossier and to have them match us up with a child. We are truly committed to providing a home for a child that God has waiting for us in Ethiopia. Please help us make this blessing a reality.
