Our Journey

We invite you, our friends and families to follow along with us on our journey to bring home the newest additions to our forever family. I believe everything happens for a reason and I know that the newest additions to our familiy are out there somewhere waiting for us to be matched. We have followed our hearts and that has lead us on a wonderful journey to a wonderful country "Ethiopia". We look forward to the day when we are able to finally go and meet in person and bring our littleones home forever.

We hope you can all be here with us through the tears and laughter as we move through our adoption journey.

love & kisses

It's official we are now a family of 5!

I think I am still in shock and can hardly believe it but we got a call yesterday telling us that we not only have a court date, but that we have already passed court and our documents have all been in Nairobi for 2 weeks already! I can hardly believe it! We are so excited, relieved, you name it!

We had gotten to the point where we had almost completely lost hope of travelling before the end of the year. I am very happy to say that we are know hoping to be able to travel in the next 4 weeks. YAHOO!

I was getting to the point that I thought this was never going to happen and as you can tell from the blog I was pulling away from the adoption as a form of coping. NOW, we are in full gear and the serious nesting will begin!

We have some things that I don't think will be ready for when they get home, but as long as we are ready to love them (which we have been for far too long now) that is all they will need to start with.

**Interesting note: For those who have been following our journey/blog you may recall my dreams prior to the referral. In my dreams the kids where 7 and 15 months. Little A will be 15 months in November! How coincidental is that?!?!? Totally meant to be!

This is perfect news for the wkd!!! I was so hoping you'd pass court soon and wow!!!! I would love to meet up with you in Ethiopia and meet your children (of which I already know your daughter is beautiful!). And that's beyond neat how your dream is coming real!

Any good packing lists to share with me??
