Embasssy Letters done :O)) & Medical Complete

Our updated Embassy Letter arrived the other day in the mail :O))
And our medicals have been updated.  So the next step is heading to the Commission's Office
to apostille our Dossier.

WE have been praying through our journey to adopt and we know that God has his plans for our family.  In prayers we pray that both children are available when we travel.  Not sure if we will be able to travel early to meet Ellie.  But also praying she is available when we do.  If not I am praying that she finds a family, not just any family but a family who will love her dearly like we do.  I think about her and also Clyde.  God knows what is best for everyone and I turn my heart to him.. I give thanks to him daily as I take each breath.  Inside I know both Gary and I have been so blessed through the years and thankful for our Lord bringing us through this journey.   My prayers are that when we get closer to travel time he guides us even more with his love.

This last month so many emotions.. Adoption is a roller coaster or emotions.  Paperwork alone is hard and stressful to deal with.. I have been lucky I had someone to help me through preparation.  I pray also I did not bug her to much..  


This has nothing to do with our Dossier.  Maybe venting today.  I have not been as active in trying to raise the funds for Clyde and Ellie's adoption.  Daily I have been trying to save and sell things.  At this moment I want to focus in helping friends and families around me with their adoptions.  So if I post about a family please pray for them as you prayed for ours.  Also if you are able to advocate or donate please do so and I thank you..  I have not meet either Clyde or Ellie but through photos I see two children living in an orphanage waiting.  Honestly there are thousands of children waiting.  Some of these children die while waiting.  And once home like our Gennie they also earn their little wings.  This pass couple of years there has been child after child I knew pass once home and also waiting.  My heart just breaks inside.  Also knowing they each deserve a family to love them as they need to be loved.  The other day was our Gennie's birthdate.  Gennie would have been eight years old.  And that same day I had to attend a funeral.  That same day my heart was breaking inside I did not even stop to think about my baby girl till it was very late.  I just fell to my knees and thought you should have had a cake and presents.  I would have dressed you up with your sisters in a cute frilly dress.  God did not promise me Gennie forever.  Gennie was his and my love was to be shared for a brief time with her.  I learned through Gennie cherish your little ones but also the little ones who need homes.  Also remember that our Lord is kind and loving.  It is up to us as his children to walk beside him and always pay it forward when possible,  And it this moment I need to focus in on this and not myself.  Our needs have been met and also the plans now with our adoption is has been planned.  Now it is up to us to hand over the worries once again to him...

Soon we will be driving to the Commission's Office for our apostilles and then our documents will be sent off..  IN the next posts I will update all...  God bless

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...
