So our last Wednesday counseling session got canceled, it will now be this Wednesday!!!! I am so excited because it will be our second to last one! At our last session we were told about Birth-mothers being able to ask for up to $3,000.00 in expenses to help out during her pregnancy now that doesn't mean she will just be handed over the whole amount, Darla told us like if she is struggling and has to be on bed-rest and cant pay her rent or something they would ask for her rent bill and pay it for her or if she needs maternity clothes they will take her shopping but that was not an expense I had added in to the total cost yet, also I am still finding out about how much it is for a lawyer and court costs for the finalization of an adoption that is another expenses that hasn't been added in yet and we are getting so close to being at the goal of what we did know we had to raise so i am going to list a break down below so it makes a bit more sense!!! and so we know what other fundraisers we need to embark on, thank you for staying updated through my blog.
