Leaving in a matter of days.
I've haven't posted because I 've been ill.  My son Jake today admitted into LSU Oshcer's Hospital. This afternoon after running from my own Dr carrying Jake to be scoped. Praying that his is not cancer also. Jake has been battling Chronns disease and C.F..  He has been dealing with blockages and stomach pain.  Weight gain is slowly increasing. But he started throwing up again.  Praying his upper and lower tract is being freed from these painful uclers.   Tomorrow this scope will give us some answers.  My health also not as I wished.  So much to worry about.

We are down to just days.   And praying Jake is out before I leave to travel.  He will be with his Daddy and loving siblings as we traveled.  Older siblings taking shifts to help Dad keep the boat/crew at home okay.

Normally I focus on fundrausing but this week it was impossible.  Very soon it will be going on two years of paperwork, travel and worries.  We applied for grants and loans.  But still waiting.  Airline tickets purchased one way.  Now raising the funds for return tickets and a ticket for Gary to meet us during final week.

We will need his help coming home.  So please Jake is released and well enough by the time I depart.  It seems since November 2018 our lives have been in a roller coaster.  One mountain after another.  Broken leg, trees totaling our car, me getting Cancer, Gary bein injured, my brother passing, Jake being ill, the list of whoas never seem to end.
Please we need prayers in healing.  We need everyone around us especially pray for our son Jake.  And also Damien staying strong as we travel home.
I thank God for two special women who helped our children Chastity and Laura in helping wuth fundraising.  Marsha for driving us to the airport and picking us up.  Our many friends who donated and prayed.  And older children for caring for their siblings.

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 ...
