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 and his health has had many difficulties over the pass years.  Having a child with an illness or disability is a life time commitment.  No days off for either parent.  It is a 24 hour, 7 day a week job.. Do not get me wrong I love my children but it is very hard work, scheduling medical appointments, keeping log of meds and therapy through out the day..  Believe me our family has been truly blessed to be able to parent each of these precious little ones.  Even when they throw fits and Jake destroys his room as we sleep.  There  are so many days when we receive the best of hugs and kisses.  Endless artwork work to hang on our refrigerator and small handmade gifts.  I look forward again in being able to parent the newest little members to our family.  Time is passing us by quickly and we still are in bug needs of funds for the Ellie and the remainder funds for Clyde.  Such a mountain to move in such little time left.  It will be closer to fall when we travel due to both children's ages.  Both children have to be age five when adopted due to their country's law.

Daily our family looks at their photos and prepare for their arrival into our family.  Our family has missed 4 years of birthdays and  years of holidays.  So shortly after their 5th Birthday we will be able to celebrate their 5th Birthday in their new family.  A new beginning to both children's lives.  Please during our wait, please say a prayer for both children.  Pray that they both stay healthy and we raise the much needed funds to adopt.
God bless

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 ...

Butterflies

Even old people get butterflies. As our newest little 9 year old points at the ceiling and out comes her first words in English to me. Butterflies Momma, Butterflies... In the dead of winter with temperatures of 20 below I stare at the ceiling.  Not thinking I look up. In the spilt second in time my mind wonders.  Even in an orphanage a child can have humor and imagination.  Maybe being caught off guard or in the moment it makes a person think. On the outside of this old worn out building a few dying bushes.  And from the street it looks like any other old building. The caregivers and other children inside are the only family they had for years. This is the only place our children knew as home. I love spring and soon butterflies will fill the air.  Maybe the Windows will open and a few of these fragile flying angels  will fly inside.  For many of these children seeing a butterflies will be only through a panel of glass. This year marks 2...
