Grant Money Writing ugh!!!!

It's a blessing that there are organizations that help people with adoption costs. Yet, as always, there's too much need and never enough to go around. The catcher is "if you qualify" or "if you are chosen". So we began to see "if" we could find some places that say we satisfy their "ifs" -- that would help us out financially. The big kicker in our particular adoption is that we will have to purchase 6 international plane fares costing thousands of dollars total. Oh, if only we could be like those eagles that the Bible speaks about! Any gifts or airfare helps would really be a needed blessing. Everything being legal of course:)
Anyways, getting back to the subject of grant applications; there's forms to fill out and papers to write and rewrite, info to find, and words to be well-chosen. It's kinda like going back to college, drinking tons of coffee and writing those wonderful research papers. Except this time it has way more value because it's about children that we're writing for. These children have a hope because somebody said, "I'll take you and do what I can to give you a family and place to call home." Now that, my friends, is something worth writing about:) Wouldn't you agree? - Cindy -
