We've already made $60 on the sale of one auction item!
We have spent the following:
Home study $1,400.
Interpreter 300.
Psych Eval 260.
USCIS 890. (so far)
Sec of State 60.
Education 198.50
Fingerprinting 105.
Attorney 1,000. (retention fee)
$4,213.50
Too bad we aren't any where close to being done!
I wanted to update you so you understand that money is being spent as it is received.
Items from the gotchagiftregistry.com wish list have been removed as the item's due date arrived and funds paid out. What remains on the registry is what we still owe in the near future and to bring our boys home near the end of this process.
Attorney's fees total $14,000 total, some of which is already funded (as noted on the registry), and other items such as visa medical examination are "subject to change." I believe that means we could pay out the wazoo, should they choose to implement higher fees.
heavy sigh
It's all part of the process. Just like figuring out how to use family leave when the boys arrive home. Who goes to work? How do bills get paid? How are the boys' needs best met while encouraging a trusting, loving, attached relationship? While still paying the bills and not losing one's job, of course!
Three days until the dinner and silent auction. Again I say, do not let your lack of RSVP keep you from coming on Saturday night. Eat first, have a snack on the way in case the food is gone, but come!
