Embasssy Letters done :O)) & Medical Complete

Our updated Embassy Letter arrived the other day in the mail :O))
And our medicals have been updated.  So the next step is heading to the Commission's Office
to apostille our Dossier.

WE have been praying through our journey to adopt and we know that God has his plans for our family.  In prayers we pray that both children are available when we travel.  Not sure if we will be able to travel early to meet Ellie.  But also praying she is available when we do.  If not I am praying that she finds a family, not just any family but a family who will love her dearly like we do.  I think about her and also Clyde.  God knows what is best for everyone and I turn my heart to him.. I give thanks to him daily as I take each breath.  Inside I know both Gary and I have been so blessed through the years and thankful for our Lord bringing us through this journey.   My prayers are that when we get closer to travel time he guides us even more with his love.

This last month so many emotions.. Adoption is a roller coaster or emotions.  Paperwork alone is hard and stressful to deal with.. I have been lucky I had someone to help me through preparation.  I pray also I did not bug her to much..  


This has nothing to do with our Dossier.  Maybe venting today.  I have not been as active in trying to raise the funds for Clyde and Ellie's adoption.  Daily I have been trying to save and sell things.  At this moment I want to focus in helping friends and families around me with their adoptions.  So if I post about a family please pray for them as you prayed for ours.  Also if you are able to advocate or donate please do so and I thank you..  I have not meet either Clyde or Ellie but through photos I see two children living in an orphanage waiting.  Honestly there are thousands of children waiting.  Some of these children die while waiting.  And once home like our Gennie they also earn their little wings.  This pass couple of years there has been child after child I knew pass once home and also waiting.  My heart just breaks inside.  Also knowing they each deserve a family to love them as they need to be loved.  The other day was our Gennie's birthdate.  Gennie would have been eight years old.  And that same day I had to attend a funeral.  That same day my heart was breaking inside I did not even stop to think about my baby girl till it was very late.  I just fell to my knees and thought you should have had a cake and presents.  I would have dressed you up with your sisters in a cute frilly dress.  God did not promise me Gennie forever.  Gennie was his and my love was to be shared for a brief time with her.  I learned through Gennie cherish your little ones but also the little ones who need homes.  Also remember that our Lord is kind and loving.  It is up to us as his children to walk beside him and always pay it forward when possible,  And it this moment I need to focus in on this and not myself.  Our needs have been met and also the plans now with our adoption is has been planned.  Now it is up to us to hand over the worries once again to him...

Soon we will be driving to the Commission's Office for our apostilles and then our documents will be sent off..  IN the next posts I will update all...  God bless

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 ...
