Delays*Bad news and Good news

Our family found out our this last month that we will not be able to adopt Clyde till the end of 2018. This means we are presently updating all our paperwork for our Dossier. Good news is our HS has been approved and the Hague Oversight approved and our HS is being reviewed by USCIS for his adoption. We are approved for two children and will wait to add another child on when our USCIS is completed and our Dossier is ready to ship.

With having to update the Dossier this means all new documents, more to be notarized and appostilled adding another $1,000 plus to our Dossier. Today, we had an early Christmas present, a very nice surprise to our son's fundraiser. This donation could do have came at a better time. God seems to be there always when we need him and we are forever grateful for his love and support.

Today is our little girl Katya Birthday and she turned 8 today and now a big girl. Daily Katya says a prayer for her new little brother and we all are excited to get to go meet him this next winter. Our family will wait as long as it takes to bring our little guy home. He looks like a toot and with 16 grandsons and one granddaughter another little boy will be great to have join our family. In January we will also become grandparents once more to a precious little grand daughter Mileena. Pictures will follow this next year.

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...

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 ...

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...
