THE NUMBER 4

Since July 27, 2017 I have fought to get my dossier completed.  Document after document just when will it end.  After rushing last week to what I thought was our last 4 documents I found out today ther was another 4 documents needing to be done.  This means 4 more notarized ones, 4 more apostilles and also 4 more hours to drive to Baton Rouge and another 4 hours back... 

This also means 4 times $20 for notary                         ($80)
Apostilles 4 times $20                                                    ($80)
Gas to get there and back for 570 miles                         ($114.00)
Breakfast, lunch and dinner while on the road around    ($40)      
                                                                                           ($314.00)


Prayers said during this trip 5 MILLION AND 4 prayers, pee breaks every 30 minutes if I leave later in the morning.  So I get up early so they will still be a little sleepy and sleep a little extra so no pee stops.  Jake I hook up to his feeding pump so no worries on feeding him, he'll have a full tummy.  But praying no poopies there and back..  Jake loves to ride in the car so he sits quietly as I drive.  Now Poppy she talks and talks and talks and bugs Katya.  Well Chrissie she reads and Patrick is has his ear buds in and rocks with the music.  And me I pray and pray and pray.

God guide me through this last 4 documents.  Get them there by this weekend so on Monday they head over to my soon to be new children's country. Bless each document as it is stamped and notarized.  It is not just pieces of paper but two children needing homes.  Our Home in our family...

One day closer to coming home

After arriving in Kiev we went right to bed.  Between moving quickly from one plane to another then a 30 minute ride to our hotel. With the time difference we had to rest once arriving.  Being up over 26 hours we were exhausted. Prior to leaving the US I had to visit my doctor.  Not any good news to share.  Only some complications had arrised.  Staying with Jake a week at the hospital and him checking out the day prior I had to have another check up myself.  Unfortunately my cancer has spread.  Problems now with blood pressure, thyroid disease and diabetes. Being placed on news meds prior to travel is not working out to well. It was awful arriving in Kiev sitting in a wheel chair.  Niko met us and drove us to get Greyson's birth records.  It was a 4 hour drive there n back   We waited 3 hours to have it printed. Greyson's birth Certificate So much left to do. Tomorrow we head to Mauripol.

Delays and worries

2 weeks waiting  She's a very happy girl.

The Sea

We are now in our children's city close to the sea.  A 8 hour express train ride and another 5 hours by car.  Today the kids decided to swim between the many hours of chasing paperwork. Me I slept and soak in a little sun. Patrick and Christian
