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...

waiting waiting...

Just in case you are curious...our Dossier is still stuck in Ottawa. We're hoping that next week they will be able to get to and get it back to us. With it being the holiday, that may delay it a bit more.

Ah, well.

We are going to begin enjoying the summer and letting this adoption continue on its course. It seems that most of this is out of our control at this point anyway.

We're heading out on a little camping trip with our new/old trailer and of course, Ping (the dog).

that's it for now...

    I was just wondering about you guys and how it was going!

    Is it stuck at the Rwandan Embassy or Foreign Affairs?

    We should have our dossier on its way to Ottawa in a couple of weeks. And, then, like you say, it is out of our control....

    Hopefully it is in your hands soon. Have a great time camping:)

    Hi Gail and Scott,

    I can't seem to find your email address in my address book. I had a question for you regarding the Letter of Consent from the would-be -guardian. Would you mind telling me what you guys did for this? We basically made one up with all my Mom's details on it, saying she consented and so on, but she is unable to get it notarized in BC because they say it is not a Canadian legal document. I would really appreciate your help:)
