here we go.....again.....

Recently, I sent all the papers off to the Ukraine for our repetition to the court almost 3 weeks ago. I sent papers to re finger printed by the USCIS almost 1 month ago. Friday, the USCIS papers were returned and rejected. Now, this morning, the papers I sent to the Ukraine are missing in action! I could just SCREAM!

Meanwhile, Adam is getting ready for college, Luke is getting ready for his first year in high school and Emi and  Abby are working on learning to perfect their English. Roger and I are just watching and laughing. God bless them all.

All in Gods time.....not mine

wait, wait and STRESS!  This is the craziest ride I ever have taken! Yeah, that"s right.....ADOPTION!

The ups and downs and twist and turns.....hang on tight. Then, its over. A few seconds after you realize your not dead, all appendages are intact, your heart is still beating and their is feeling back in your lips.....Your ready for the next ride. Yeah, that pretty well explains it. The emotional roller coaster of the greatest sacrifice any family can give. You, the parent are going through all these feeling and guess what.....so is everyone else around you.

When we started this journey, we had no idea where this road would take us. We have been on the smooth roads of the interstate, the gravel roads of the country and the goat trails of the mountain's on our journey and we stop and refill our gas tank for more.

We completed our papers to resubmit to the Ukrainian Ministry and mailed them on 03/29/2012 through USPS Express Mail (2-3 business days) and I have been told that they have not arrived. Now, I worry because they were all original documents and those we have to have to be submitted for a new court date.

I continue to pray daily for all my children. What will be, will be. Adam graduates next month and will be off to college in August. Luke will be a freshman at the Academy and everyone else will be at the elementary school for now. I have to take that leap of faith and know......its all in God's time, not mine.
