As we GO & Cocooning

Hello Fam & Friends! (this update is long but helpful as we get ready to GO and for you to know what to expect once you can meet our son) Driving into town today, running errands, seeing Mek’s empty carseat in the backseat….it hit me, “Father, you really made this happen, you gave us this …

Life is Changing

It's still so surreal that we are at this point!!! God has been moving mountain after mountain, the adoption has been speeding along ever since February 1st. We recieved first approval from Thailand which is what we had been waiting for over the last 12months. After that we received a needed document 4 weeks later …

The final countdown

About 1hr after I published this, we received an email with tentative travel dates!!! I'm totally shocked. It all depends on many things going right here on out, God can make a way!

Prayer & Fasting (part 1)

Would you join us in prayer and fasting? We were matched with our son Matias (February 9th, 2022) and have been waiting for the Thai government's approval ever since. Once we receive this approval, we can start the ball rolling on his immigration process, visa and travel to bring him home (4-6months later. After the …

The continued wait

It's been 8months since we saw our sweet boys face for the first time :). It's an interesting thing to love someone so deeply that you've never met, never spoken to, and are unsure of when you'll meet. Earlier into our match I confidently quoted what we were told, 10-15months until travel, however the entire …

On the right path?

As the school year is back in full swing my anxiety level rises, there's so much to do, so much to keep track of mentally, on top of the ongoing nature of our ordinary life stuff. There is less down time, less time with friends who bring my soul life, less time with mike and …
