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 a minute.  As if they had handled her to us like I had given birth.  My heart melted inside, my sweet
little girl all this wait and worry and I knew then God had us wait just for her.  She is the sweetest most loving little girl, full of spunk.   In her orphanage three times a week a Karate coach worked with her and also Sage.  He told us he only choses children who have the determination and drive.
Barbara with her spine being so twisted and one leg totally twisted and shorten.  This one little girl had the drive and determination to be a champion.  She does not let her disability affect her spunk.
She is one of a kind child, a child who no matter how much has been placed on her she has the best self esteem.  How blessed we are to have been able to meet such a child and now a child that will become our daughter.. I love this little girl so much and today my heart misses her dearly.

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 ...
