A family who is adopting and will also be carrying our documents will get to see their children files on Halloween.  I pray for them as they view their child's listing.  This Halloween they will hold in their hands a file that contains medical and their child's history.  Much like we will be also viewing in a few weeks or month away..  A year has passed and a few months also.  I think of Clyde often and I also think about Ellie and also Ronald.  Little Ellie's family has court on Thursday.  We choose Ellie but knew we could not make her by her 5th birthday, a friend of mine paper ready was so I released Ellie and prayed they would get to view her file.  I was able to see undated photos of Ellie.  She is precious, simply precious.  I see that she is going fit perfect in my friend's family.  Little Ronald still waits for a family to come for him and love him. I pray the perfect family for him.. I wished it could have been us but with Poppy's medical and Jake's med

Since July 27, 2017 I have fought to get my dossier completed.  Document after document just when will it end.  After rushing last week to what I thought was our last 4 documents I found out today ther was another 4 documents needing to be done.  This means 4 more notarized ones, 4 more apostilles and also 4 more hours to drive to Baton Rouge and another 4 hours back...  This also means 4 times $20 for notary                         ($80) Apostilles 4 times $20                                                    ($80) Gas to get there and back for 570 miles                         ($114.00) Breakfast, lunch and dinner while on the road around    ($40)                                                                                                  ($314.00) Prayers said during this trip 5 MILLION AND 4 prayers, pee breaks every 30 minutes if I leave later in the morning.  So I get up early so they will still be a little sleepy and sleep a little extra so no pee stops.

Since losing Clyde it has been difficult to write.  Honestly seeing his precious face brings me to tears.  I feel in love with a child I will never get to hold or love but in my heart.  His birthday was December 20th the same day as Katya's birthday.  I had purchased him presents, gifts and had made him a quilt for his little bed.  We had decided on the name Gabriel. He was to be our little angel, our little messenger and our little boy.  A boy who will be forever in my heart.  I am not depressed, just really sad inside.  WE moved document after document to submit so we would be able to adopt Clyde and still I failed him. I feel as if I failed someway to him.  He will never know he had parents coming for him.  I pray in his country a family there adopts him and loves him.  Teaches him about our Lord and how wonderful and loving he is.  I pray Clyde stays warm this winter and has a blessed life.  This pass month I had to update agency licenses, social workers licenses and then onc

Today we found out Clyde is not available to adopt.  The pass year I have waited and prayed for little Clyde.  And today we have lost him into the system.  We will not be there for his birthday now will we be able to give him his presents we brought him.  I am broken hearted and torn apart inside.   AS if we lost our own child.  I know he was only ours in dreams but our dream to love and cherish him.  God has his plans for us and unfortunately adopting little Clyde was not in his plans.  I viewed him as a baby into a little boy.  Years passed by and he waited and waited for a family.  I wished we had only traveled when he was younger and adopted him.  Thanking our Lord that Nolan is available and we are able to move forward in adopting him. So please keep Nolan in your prayers as we wait for a travel date.

Baby~Clyde A few years ago I came across the photo of this little one.   Clyde is not his give name but a name given to him off of Reece's Rainbow four years ago.  Since then Clyde has been waiting for a home and will be soon be turning 5 years old. This year for his 5th birthday he will get the best present ever. Little Clyde will have a family who will love and cherish him. If all goes as planned we will be meeting Clyde on his 5th birthday. Our plans are to bring him presents for each year of his little life. We have chosen a new name for him and this we will announce once we have court. During court we pray we will be allowed to become his parents. And if all goes well we can travel back to pick him up and bring him home. This will be our little Christmas man :O))) So much to do in the next three months till we meet him. Till then we wait and wait. :O))

Thank you who ever donated the $10 to our boys today :O))) It is days where we are blessed it brings us a little closer to our boys.  Still no updates on either boy and probably will not hear anything till we travel.  Good news my cat Olfa is feeing much better but our pockets are minus many dollars we have been placing back for our trip.  Again asking for prayers during this time.  Soon we will be counting down the days to travel. I am so looking forward to meeting the boys but knowing I will be away from our children at home is hard.  I miss them even when I go to the grocery store.  Each trip I take turns bringing one or two at a time.  With flu season we do not get Jake out much.  Trying to keep him healthy and add some extra weight on him. Cystic Fibrosis affects the digestive tract and with Chronn's disease it makes gaining weight very difficult. I have Pocket Pillow Cases and Hairbows for sale, but no luck in selling these.  I am afraid I am not a sales person at all.  I

Dolly This pass year many ups and downs, especially with funds.  I decide that instead of worrying about raising the funds for our boys I wanted to help a friend instead. There is a little girl I had my heart in love with little Dolly.  Little Dolly is so much like our girls Chrissie and Penelope.  And such a beautiful smile. One day I was checking children out available for adoption and little Dolly kept coming through my mind.  I saw where someone was inquiring about her and telling me she did massage therapy.  And did wonders for children needing Physical Therapy.  After we chatted for a few hours I fell in love with this person and knew she loved Dolly as her daughter.  Through the pass several months she has sold many items to submit her dossier and one of them was her wedding dress.  I wished I had the funds where I could have purchased it and then sent it back to her after the adoption had been completed.  When adopting families do what they can to bring in funds.  A

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 is fixing her back so she can walk.
