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.

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 ...
