Notary and Medicals

Today we notarized the last of our documents. Tomorrow a quick trip back to our doctors to get an updated medical exam. Praying no more blood work... If all goes well it is off to the State's Commission Office and get all our documents apostilled. Once this is done we can send off our Dossier with a friend who is traveling. After tomorrow a long road trip and a few days to rest after the drive.

Our FSP has been standing at the same amount. Praying we are able to raise the funds to travel to meet our Ellie. If not we will have to wait when we travel to meet Clyde and pray that Ellie is still available. Once a child reaches five years they are moved into an adult setting. Once this is done they remain until they exit out of the orphanage. Sad to see that on your birthday your life will change forever. Many of Ellie's friends have been adopted or either moved. Please pray for her as we fight to get there in time.

Every dollar matters in adopting. If possible could you share our journey and help us bring in the funds for Ellie. You can donate through our Pay pal link or through our FSP on Reece's Rainbow. Again we thank you and Ellie thanks you..

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...
