Adoption Update

We heard today from our adoption agency. It looks as though things have started to move a bit faster, but it has still pushed backed the projected time line. It looks as though instead of 12-14 months it will most likely be 18 months. That would put us sometime next spring. Rich and I are trying to stay positive and we know when the time is right it will happen. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers during this long journey.

Rough Month

June was a month both Rich and I are ready to put behind us. I went out to Columbus in the beginning of June to help out with my step-mom's hip replacement surgery. While I was there helping her my dad went into renal failure. After a long 3 and a half weeks with lots of sleepless nights, Dad passed away peacefully on June 25th. It has been a tough few weeks and we are working on making the days better.




We did get an adoption update a few weeks ago and it looks like the pace is picking back up in Russia. Hopefully this means that the Sept-Dec time line will hold true. Who knows though. This process has taught both of us to just let go and see where life takes us.
