letting go of this dream
Well, it is time to let go of this dream. This is the hardest post to write, and the one post, I truly didn't think I would have to.
Rwanda right now is transitioning into a Hague country, and with this major bureaucratic shift, many of the dossiers that have waited there for the past year+, have now been closed. That unfortunately, includes ours.
The clearly positive outcome is that all children in Rwanda will be secure in protection against any unethical and illegal corruption. The Hague convention governs this.
We realize that the governmental infrastructure impacting us, is also much larger than us. While this is difficult for us individually to endure and accept, we also understand why in the larger scheme of things.
At this point, this blog will now close. It is our intention to grow our family and we will continue to work on that, recreating and redefining our dream. We have a loving home, family, and community and our path will open up to what is right.
Thank you for supporting and dreaming with us!

Holding onto Faith
It feels wrong to not post in so long! I don't have any new news, so it also feels wrong to post. But, here goes.
We began this journey now, 2 and half years ago. At that time, adoptions from our country and Rwanda were taking no more than a year. We certainly did not expect this long wait, and longer wait of uncertainty. But, that is how life goes, especially, we have learned, the life of an adoptive family.
Our adoption journey has been one of the hardest we have faced together. It has challenged our faith and our ability to hold onto it. But, we are here. We are still hoping that this adoption comes to a close with a child or children wrapped safely in our arms.
We have a great lawyer working on our side in Kigali, and we continue to hope and pray that good news comes our way.
Keep us in your hearts!
