Our casserole fundraiser is underway! 

"Bring Them to the Table is a frozen casserole fundraiser benefiting the adoption fund of two families who are in the process of international adoptions.  By purchasing a casserole and bringing your family around the table for a meal, you will be helping bring children home and to the table of their forever families.  The casseroles have been lovingly prepared by the women of [our church]."

We took orders for the first month and will be busily cooking this week.  I am so thankful to the ladies at our church who have volunteered so much time and energy to help us with this project!  I started tonight:

Ready to go in the freezer!

Our home study is on the desk of our social worker's supervisor.  Any day we could get the call saying it is approved!  Once it is approved, we send it off to US Citizenship and Immigration Services with our Form I-800A, "Application for Determination of Suitability to Adopt a Child from a Convention Country."  Processing that form takes an estimated 2-3 months.  It will be a lot of waiting, but hopefully cooking casseroles will keep us pretty busy in the meantime!
