Unexpected awesomeness
Hey ladies! Sorry I haven't been around much lately, but I wanted to stop by to give you a quick and awesome update.
Recap for those not following our story or who don't remember me : DH and I were doing DIA, but switched to IA from China special needs program. We originally thought we were 3 to 5 years away from qualifying financially. Then we found out that it was more like 1 to 2 years.
This weekend, I found out that we are allowed to include business assets in our net worth calculations, so we actually qualify RIGHT NOW. How awesome is that?
We still have a long way to go before we will have our adoption fund where it needs to be for us to cover all the adoption costs, and DH won't be 30 until June, but we are one step closer!
Yay!!
