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...

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!
