Then it hit me... How much money are they going to want from us over the next couple of months?
You’re kidding, right?
No. It was no joke.
$2000 for international fees
$2400 for post adoption home visits (Peru requires nine of them!)
Approximately $3500 for three round-trip plane tickets and one one-way (I almost forgot we needed that extra ticket home!)
Approximately $2000 for living expenses for five weeks in Peru
not to mention what we’ve already spent.
There’s no way.
We were amazed at how friends and family started dropping money into our hands.
Soon after we found out, friends handed us $100 and told me not to argue. A family member who remained healthy all year gave us his $300 “sick day bonus.” Other missionary friends mailed us a check for $400 (Yes, the missionaries are supporting us!). Another couple paid $304 for 6 dozen cinnamon buns that Luciana made. (They’re delicious, but she doesn’t charge $50.67 a dozen!) Then the tickets to Lima were given to us (Even the one-way ticket back.)
Worried about the money? Who’s worried?
Not me... well not anymore.
