Where we are in our Adoption

We are navigating through an international adoption with few resources and little Canadian/Rwandan adoption history to draw on. So far, so good... We are adopting independently. The good thing is that we are now on the Rwandan side of this process - our Dossier has been approved and is now at the Ministry office there, waiting to be transferred to the Orphanage.

Wide Open...Blog space

We've chosen to share our story with many other families out there and hope that maybe some of this will feel familiar to you...some of the empty poetry lines and white spaces might echo inside of you as well.

As we continue onward past the year long mark and beyond, we have found solace in reading other adoptive family stories. We notice many people visiting from all over the world...it would be great if you let us know why. What brings you to our pages?

You are welcome here...

Slow and Steady

Today our completed dossier went into the mail, destined for Ottawa and the Rwandan Embassy.

Our hopeful timeline is 2 weeks until we see it back here on BC land, stamped and ready for the long journey to Rwanda. At this point, we have completed as much as we can; and the rest is more of the unknown.


In the in-between time, life is full and summer is on its way. There is a garden needed planting and a pond needing filling. It is May long weekend and I can say with more hope than certainty, that next year, during May long weekend, we will be camping with the kids.

Today felt like a relief. A parcel in the mail - slow and steady.
