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...

Dreaming Rwanda

Chubby cheeks and sneak a peaks
Little toes and wooden floor boards
Creak
As we speak in heart crevices
Deep

Tiny eye lids sleep
And dream
As spirit unfolds
Heart beats

And tiny crumbs feed our two dreams
Nestled in a forever homeland
A blood land tie
A forever lullaby

We will build a home
with sweet love
And always remember
Your story of who you are
And where you are from

And we will love you
Wrap you safely in our home
And grow with you
Until you grow on your own
Your chubby cheeks and sneak a peaks
