Happy Late Thanksgivings

With Christmas approaching us quickly and the New Year around the corner a few quick updates. Presently we are waiting to submit our HS to US Immigration's and then we wait for finger prints. Still we are working on bringing in the funds that will help assist our family in bringing little Clyde home. Shortly I will attach a break down of what the costs are involved in adopting little Clyde. Please pray for little Clyde as we travel this journey in bringing him home.

UPDATE ON OUR JOURNEY

What a day, after a long night drive to get our fingerprints done. And six hours in a car with your hubby gives you plenty of time to catch up talking about things that we need to be completed before we travel. We had stopped for a while to get some diner and as we went to check out the man sitting behind us had paid for our dinner. The odd thing he never said anything to us, he only kept waving at Jake and smiling. Jake is JAKE, you don't even have to know him without falling in love with him. Jake is non-verbal but always smiling and giggling. Our family is so proud of Jake he is a fighter. Jake 5 years ago weighed under 15 pounds at age 5 and a half years. Now barely weighting 48 pounds and turning 10 march 1st. A child we were told would died within six months after adopting sits smiling and laughing. Daily he struggles with his Cystic Fibrosis. Jake's major issues are his digestive system where he can not absorb the...

No words

There are just some days where there are no words that can take away from pain and heart ache. This pass week we were robbed, our precious cat got ill, once again funds lost. Still we are blessed. A neighbor is killed by two young man breaking into a neighbors car, a man loses his girlfriend and his unborn son a day before his child is delivered. My friend's baby girl has open heart surgery and she waits outside the recovery room, a baby boy takes his last breathe and my son struggles to live another day. Very hard to understand why bad things happen to good people and little children. A 14 year old girl with a headache dies within three days of being diagnose with a rare form of cancer. Her mother struggles to understand why her daughter had to be chosen to earn her wings. So much potential, and such a beautiful young woman with the kindest heart. Today I watched as my 5 year old daughter looks into a mirror and then ask if her doctor ...

Father's Day

With everything happening I did not know what day it was. Whether it was Saturday or Sunday. Sitting calculating funds and mark off the day till Wednesday. The day we find out about our children's passports. Our Gotcha Day was rushed. What was suppose to start with paperwork on a Monday went to Wednesday which caused us delays getting home. The system here is totally a mess. They deliver passports only one day a week to Donetsk. Then they will be forwarded to Kiev. Even expedited they are delayed. A country of unexpected issues or problems. Children lay dying when families are available. Funds stand in the way even when a family saves for 5 years still they are short. Without the love and support of others. Being short of funds not just my biggest worries. Children at home needing their mom. A young boy who had been through so much anger and abuse. Eleven years to work on. Erasing the nightmares of prior medica...
