...if I could get some backup here from some families who have adopted that went through extreme anxiety over the expense. I know, I KNOW! I am fully aware that God is in control and if He wants more children in our home with our last name He will make it happen but I am officially freaking out over the upcoming expenses.
Understand this, I am - in no way, shape or form - expecting others to pay for this to happen. But for goodness sake, HOW WILL IT HAPPEN!?? I'm pretty certain I have 2 functioning kidneys, maybe I sell one? Do people do that? Maybe I'll offer Tim's first! Ha! What on earth do people do? I know we are very fortunate, my husband has a job he loves and we live very comfortably compared to most but the idea of 10's of thousands of dollars for this to happen is about to put me over the edge.
Here's the deal, we don't fish for handouts - we work... very hard for what we want that is considered 'extra'. Kids want to go on Summer trips? Oh, there are no letters going out asking for donations. They may ask for *work* to earn cash but not a hand out, oh no... so thats where I'm at, what can we *DO* to earn what could ultimately be close to $60,000??? In the next year? I'm totally open to ideas. Keeping in mind that 1) God, 2) Family 3) Jobs (Tim's is very demanding *in a good way* and I am currently working 2 jobs) but for goodness sake, we are completely willing to work for the money, I just don't know how. I feel very overwhelmed with the heaviness of this.
Just being honest here -
I get it. I love God and I trust Him. But I'm a fool if I just blow it off and not do anything. I know this will be ok... but we have set high standards for how we live as far as debt is concerned. What does this look like?

Ok, I feel better - I just needed that off my chest. I'm done now :)
