Last minute updates on Home Study, WE ARE FINALLY DONE :o))

Tonight I can finally say we are completely done on our Home Study.  One update after another which has added up greatly.  All documents are notarized and ready to be authenticated.  It has taken one year and almost a month to get our Dossier prepared.  Having to revise so many document in the wording, new FBI clearances, Medical clearances & Home Study updates.

This week our documents are traveling to our State's Capital Commission's Office where 64 documents will be authenticated.  Once this has been done we will be shipping this off and shortly they will translated and our Dossier registered.  With most families I have been chatting with they have received travel dates from 3 weeks to 6 weeks.  Our plans are to travel someone in late December to meet our boys.

Our FSP has not moved in several months.  Even with grants on each boy it does not guarantee they will be available once we travel.  And funds will not be released until a travel date is given.   This week we had the expense of updating our Home Study cost $160. and There will be 64 documents at $20 a piece ($1280.00)  Grand total $1440 to complete our dossier plus travel cost to authenticate.

Next there will be shipping cost involved in sending our Dossier.  We are blessed we know several families traveling and our Dossier will be hand delivered in September.  Making our Dossier approved by October.

Again please if you are able to share our journey with others who advocate for adoption please do so.  We are going begin to fundraise for the necessary funds for travel and for two children's facilitator fees.  I will update our journey as our dossier is submitted and a travel date has been given.

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...
