Welcome!

This blog began as we documented our adoption of our third child, Caleb. It is now an eclectic journal of our often amusing lifestyle with 4 young children.

We do try to "keep it simple" because our lives are obviously busy enough! We try to hold true to what we firmly believe is the most important: family, friends, and faith.

We hope you enjoy our everyday happenings!

Oh MAN What a Bummer!

Late last week, we received word from another family who was waiting for a Sayaxché BC that their attorney had filed an amparo (appeal), and that it worked - their attorney got the new BC. We learned today this this is not true. Somehow, there was some type of mix-up or miscommunication (by the agency, not by the other family), and this other family does NOT have the BC, after all. Filing the Amparo did not work.

Talk about a kick in the teeth! Obviously, we're devastated by this news, as is this other family.

We don't know what will happen next. We're starting to accept the reality that Caleb won't be home by Christmas, and that's a hard thing to swallow.

Take care,
Kris

It will happen, I just know it. SOMETHING has to give. I'm thinking of you each day, praying for all families with children in this region. Wish I could give you a hug.
