FEELING HOPELESS

TODAY WAS NOT A GOOD DAY TO SAY THE LEAST. WE ARE TRYING TO LOOK AT OTHER AGENCIES BUT EVERY TIME WE TRY TO GO OUTSIDE OF L.L. I FEEL LIKE WE RUN INTO A BRICK WALL. I TALKED WITH AN ADOPTION CONSULTANT TODAY ABOUT SEEING IF THEY WOULD HELP FIND A SITUATION FOR US. THEY INFORMED ME THAT OUR BUDGET WAS TO LOW. I TOLD THEM THAT WAS WHAT WE HAD AT THE PRESENT TIME, BUT THAT WE WERE LOOKING INTO SOME GRANTS . SHE SAID THEY WOULD KEEP US IN MIND IF A SITUATION CAME AVAILABLE. I AM TRYING TO FIGHT BACK THE TEARS AS I TYPE THIS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT COST SO MUCH TO ADOPT WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY CHILDREN THAT NEED HOMES . I AM PLANNING ON HAVING A GARAGE SALE IN NOVEMBER IN DOTHAN. I WILL BE POSTING THE DATE LATER. I TALKED WITH OUR SW AT L.L. AND SHE SAID THEY WERE WORKING WITH A FEW BM AT THIS TIME. SO FOR NOW WE WILL JUST PRAY AND WAIT. I AM SENDING OUR GRANT PAPERS OUT THIS WEEK. BE PRAYING FOR US TO GET THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT.---------
