GOING DOWN THE CHECK LIST

Going done our check list.
CLICK, CLICK, CLCK
All clearances are complete, medicals done and our home study is almost ready.
Next we file for Immigrations approval and our Dossier will be submitted to The Adoption Center.

NOW the next step is raising the funds to bring our son home.
You can immediately donate through our Paypal account so we can receive the funds to prepare to travel.
Through Paypal you can use your credit card and our family can receive it as a donation for Clyde.

Adoption is not cheap nor is the price of the love of a child. Little Clyde has been waiting for 4 long years.
And this next year our family will be traveling to meet with him at his orphanage.

The cost of Clyde's will be close to $28,000 and our family will need to travel three trips.
This means 3 sets of airline tickets, lodging, in country fees.
All prior adoption costs have added up to over $6,000 have been paid for through our savings.
Now our family needs to raise the much needed funds to pay all legal fees, in country fees, child's visa, medical and passport. Please I ask that you donate directly to our Paypal to help with the costs.

Full of emotions today

I am get back to blogging our journey this week and share some photos and our journey. Today I found myself missing our new little ones. I wonder if they know we are coming back for the both of them. Many tears as we walked out the door and said our goodbyes. This adoption has been a hard one for many reasons. Updating documents and not knowing which child we were meant to adopt. Honestly I just did not know what to expect once we were there. I knew this time deep inside I feel nervous and also excited. With prior adoptions things felt so much differently than this one. Maybe because this journey has been also a year in waiting. When we first met Barbara in hopped a little girl full of life and smiles. As I watched her I noticed she was as nervous as I was. But shortly we got to know one another. I knew then inside as she sat across from us that this was our child, our daughter.. I felt inside love for a child I only met for...

USCIS approval and updates

Currently we are gathering up our documents once again times two. So two sets of everything means double the funds again. Heart breaking to start from the beginning with documents. But we are steps ahead with our Home study and our USCIS approval. The USCIS approval is the most important document needed in our Dossier. This has been a very difficult week, yet another little girl passes away yesterday. My heart cries out again for the parents and family. After the first little girl and now another it breaks one's heart. On the 25th of April it will be now 5 years since the death of our daughter Gennie~beane. I wished I could hold her once again in my arms. I tell all the children about Gennie and how precious she was. Katya ask me each night about Gennie and if she is there still in Heaven. Hard to explain to a child that children do die with out scaring them. Jake Gennie's biological brother also has Cystic Fibrosis...

Medicals

Medical exam complete but we have to update all blood work, TB test also needs to be updated and also a letter from the American Embassy needs updating. All documents have been cleared for approval and these last documents will allow our Dossier to be submitted in August. Normally it takes 2 months for a travel date. Our plans will be to travel to review Ellie's file and meet with her. Secure her and file for a court hearing. We will leave country and return for court, during Court hearing we will also be allowed to view Clyde's records and file for his Court Date. Praying we are able to waive the 30 days of waiting for Ellie if not when we return for Clyde's Court Hearing pickup Ellie and apply for Ellie's passport.. During Clyde's court hearing we will apply for the 30 days to be waived. If not we will have to make four trips which we had not planned. This means additional funds for Ellie's and Clyde's adoption SO far we have not sold ...
