Dossier complete and in Ukraine!
Exactly one year to the date we signed our first agency agreement, on August 13th, our full completed dossier was translated and UPS’ed over to Ukraine. All that’s left is to wait. In less than a month on September 16th our paperwork will be presented in front of a judge in Ukraine, and God willing, [...]
Desiring ‘Faith Like Potatoes’
Each and every day God tests my faith. In fact, the more I get to know Him, the more I think He tests it. Day by day as I’ve drawn nearer to Him, I sometimes have to look back and think if I’m really giving it my all in this relationship with Him. It’s like [...]
Dossier due September 16, 2010. Travel Date likely in October!
Today Lindsey and I received exciting news from our case manager at CWA. We are now officially pre-registered to adopt our child in the Ukraine! We received confirmation today from Ukraine that our new registration date at the SDAPRC is September 16, 2010! At this time our dossier will be due in Ukraine. Once it [...]
Pre-Registration for Ukraine sent to CWA. Dossier up to bat.
It’s a month later and things have picked up quite a bit with our adoption process. Although, in the last month we did confuse some things that led us to believe we would have this process finalized in the late spring/early summer. I think the blame might have be on us for the misunderstanding. However, [...]
Home Study Week.
For the first time today, I admit I finally had that feeling that wait a minute.. this adoption might actually happen. This is real, and not just some dream Lindsey and I have thought up. Since our last post on the adoption, we have received all of the required paperwork needed for our Home Study, [...]
So Long, 2009.
I’m really not quite sure where I’m headed with this post, and I need to keep it brief as we’re headed onto our traditional New Year’s Eve plans in a couple of hours. Lindsey’s currently in the kitchen making fruit salsa chips which are amazing, and I am here just buying some time until I [...]
I will move ahead, bold and confident.
As Fall has come, and the summer has passed there has been a lot of interesting changes in our daily Christian walk. Lindsey and I have been very busy with our jobs lately and for awhile it felt like we were getting nothing done for our adoption. The first important steps have been completed for [...]
Positive Thoughts Continued.
Though I won’t share the entire context here on this blog, Lindsey did receive a reply back from 104.9 the River over the weekend in regards to this email she sent out. The reply didn’t come from David Emerson, but from Todd Stach, the program director of the station. In a nutshell, Todd explains that [...]
And so the paperwork begins..
The first big fee is paid, and we are now a client of Christian World Adoption. The reality of what Lindsey and I are undertaking is starting to hit us, though I think it will take a bit longer for it to fully sink in. Shortly after we announced we were adopting we filled out [...]
Put your shoes on and make yourself uncomfortable.
I came to the realization the other day that my greatest sin of all is not the most obvious. It’s not so much what I do, but lack thereof. This is called sin of omission. I probably have felt more guilt, sorrow, and anger at myself at this type of sin than the more obvious [...]
