The Baldwins Biography-
So, a little bio...we have been married for 4 years and have a three year old daughter, Emma. We are both Christians. God called us to adopt and we are following that call. We are adopting from Ethiopia through Children's Home International out of St. Louis. We are adopting a boy age 0-2. We have just turned in our adoption agreement and have paid $1000 so far, but will end up paying around $18,000-25,000 when all is said and done. We will have to travel to Ethiopia twice in the process. We will be able to apply for some grants, but not until after the home study is done, which is our next step. We are doing our home study through Baptist Children's Home and Family Services. We have $1900 to raise for the home study, plus a $100 application fee. Until we get that done, we have some things to get done in the meantime... one class will cost $150, state licensure $150, and then around $200 for passports, $830 for FBI fingerprinting and our I-600A forms, and around a $100 for numerous certified, notarized copies of birth certificates and marriage certificates. So, these are fees we'll have to pay while we are trying to save money for the home study. We know that God has called us to do this and also know, just as well, that it is something we will ever be able to do on our own. I am thrilled at what God has done so far to make it happen and so anxious to see what He will continue to do.
thank you.
