Just Love Coffee Roasters

A while back a friend sent me a link to "The Ultimate List of Adoption Fundraisers."  I finally clicked to read through what they had listed and found some great ideas.  I'm pretty excited about the fundraiser that I am sharing with you today because it fits perfectly with what I am already doing with the coffee sleeves on Etsy.  It's an online coffee shop!  And they contribute proceeds from every sale through our William's family storefront directly to us for our adoption! Can't imagine a better fundraiser, and I may even have a hard time not contributing to our own adoption through coffee sales to myself ( :    And so here is the link for this amazing coffee shop with a passion for orphan care!  If you go to the shop and click on the link to "Coffee With a Heart" you can read more about how this coffee shop got their start. It is inspiring to say the least.

And I am also excited to announce that Everyday Joe's coffee shop in old town Ft. Collins has agreed to partner with us to sell my coffee sleeves. They give 100% of the proceeds back to our adoption fund. So you can spot those there beginning in April, and enjoy a cup of coffee in a great atmosphere!

You can find the link for our Just Love Coffee Roasters storefront to the right of my blog as well.

Home Study...Check

We have finished our home study!!!  We had our last interview last week.  Overall it went well, I thought.  This is what we have left before we can send our dossier to Ethiopia:

-Fingerprint background check (should have these back in a few weeks)
-Passport renewal (also should be back in a few weeks)
-8 more hours of training
-USCIS (US Immigration) approval (should be done about a month after fingerprints/passport come back)
-keep on saving $ (I'm pretty confident that when the time is right to submit or dossier, God will have provided every cent that we need.  Not even worried about that one.)
-Reference Letters

And that is it!  The list is sooooo much shorter now than when we first started.  Phew!  So we are still thinking that we should be ready to send our dossier to Ethiopia at the end of May/beginning of June.  Please pray that everything goes smoothly in these last couple of months.
