Update #7: 3 More Big Pushes! Posted about about 7 years ago

Dear Friends and Family, We can't believe that we are nearing the end of what has been such a long process, that all of you have experienced with us in some form.

In the Waiting Posted about over 7 years ago

Family and friends, Our long season of waiting has officially set in. Winter is coming and we are bracing ourselves for quietness on the adoption front and lessons of patience coming than ever before. We rejoice because progress is happening and that means less days our daughter has in her orphanage. This past week we finally sent our Dossier and Home Study to the InterCountry Adoption Board in...

Update #2 Posted about about 8 years ago

Dear Friends and Family,        It has been one month since our last update and many things have been happening with our adoption journey since then. It has been said that adoption is not for the faint of heart. If we had to define our adoption process thus far, we would say its a process characterized by thousands of opportunities for us to be humbled and fall on our faces and declare, "We don...
