Clocks a ticking

Down to just days to purchase our airline tickets.  Our thirty days are up on April 16th. This means children are ready to leave and us to be there.

Currently I am trying hold iff on surgery fir myself till children are home.  Cancer was not in our plans nor anyone person.  I cried when I watch my first husband slowly die of Cancer.  My plans are to beat it so I can raise our children.

I am just very thankful it was not my child or a friend's child.  I've been ill before but not like this.  Makes a person open their eyes even wider about how easily we tend to place our own needs last.  As parents we stop for our children needs and most times it takes an illness to make one stop.  Seldom do I get ill.  I am a giver, protector and the person that is always there for others.  Seldom I ask for help or need it. 

Both Gary and I are harder workers and stretch ourselves.  Many days and nights we sail by one another in shifts with our children.  Parenting a child with special needs can be hard some days.  Many sleepless nights, countless medical appointments, therapies and medications.  Not a day off did we not appreciate or give thanks for.  Finally when we get everyone's health on good grounds dang if I do not get ill.  Not just ill but something I can not fix. I'm bad about trying to fix things but sometimes God has other plans.  Maybe his way of just slowing me down a bit.  I've had many hard times in my life. Losing my mother, husband Tim, our twins and my Gennie-beanie.  Like the little train that could I kept moving along little by little.

On the 26th of April anniversary of Gennie-beanie earning her wings.  I miss her dearly.  Everything about her I miss ❤.  So happy I know I will hold her and see her again.  Such spunk in such a tiny little soul.

Praying we have enough funds shortly and our new passports arrive so we can travel. But right now we need enough funds for airline tickets and right at 6,000 short for tickets and incountry travels. Both these children are worth way more than this.  I've prayed and prayed for a miracle.  I know our Lord will guide us over this big mountain if worries.  Please again share our children so we can raise these funds.

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 ...
