This weekend well Friday night really I found out that Calgary was not going to work that Kevin's job would only pay $25/hr and that is not enough to live there so Saturday morning my wonderful husband went to talk with his boss about his new wage for his new position here and they offered him $25/hr so we had no choice but to choose to stay in SK. Although heart broken I accepted that it was what had to be and began to think about what we should do then stay in this house, move to another house (bigger, better neighborhood), and how would this affect our chance at adopting. Well I went on SaskHouses just to take a peek as I often do at the areas we are thinking about moving to and there is was our "forever house" and in our price range! So we decided to drive by it and take a look to see if Kevin could indeed build a garage as this house didn't have one. We headed over to look and it was too hard to tell so I called the number and the owners allowed us to come and take a look after a few minutes of looking it was perfect both inside and out! As we were looking at the house and talking with the family it turns out that a little over a year ago they adopted a little girl internationally and they have a lot of information that can help us out if we go that route including a foundation that may give us $10 000 towards an international adoption and a bank that will finance an adoption over a long period of time to give you a small payment. It amazes me how things can turn around and just happen when things are right. So as of last night we have leased our house and will be submitting the "official" offer on our new house on Friday our possession date will be August 1st. It is exciting and I am anxious to see what comes next and how we will handle being landlords hopefully all goes well! I am going to post a link to a facebook group I created to help put the word out that we are looking to adopt privately please pass it on to everyone you know in hopes that we will find that birth family looking for a home for their child!
Our wish to complete our family through a private adoption
I will update more later as I have more information and as the house is finalized too!
