JSC Foundation Grant!

So back in December/January we began the process of applying for several adoption grants. We asked for your prayers, that God would move mountains to provide for our our little one. We are so excited share with you how God has been working over the last few months. We ended up receiving a total of 3 grants!I will be writing a separate post about each grant in case some readers are looking for information on adoption grants as they go through the same process. The very first grant we received was through the JSC Foundation. For those of you researching adoption grants, JSC was amazing! One thing we found neat about JSC was their requirement to meet with your pastor. This ended up being such a great part of the process. We really enjoyed meeting with our Pastor and his wife and sharing with them about our adoption. They prayed for us before we left and we really felt blessed by our time together. We felt every step of the application process with JSC was efficient and went very smoothly. We submitted our application by the January 15th deadline, and on February 11th we received an e-mail from the JSC Foundation awarding us a generous grant (they prefer the amount not be shared publicly and we will respect their wishes.) We honestly could not believe it! We were so excited and so humbled to be chosen. We can not even imagine how much work, time, and sacrificial giving went into JSC being able to offer our family such a gift. Not only did we receive a grant but soon after we received a book and workbook on adoption called, "The Connected Child" in the mail from them. We feel loved, cared for and prayed for by this foundation. What a gift from God! Thank you JSC Foundation.
