Adoption Fellowship

Tonight is our first Durango Adoption Fellowship Group! I'm so excited! Adoption Fellowship was one of my favorite things in Branson and I am so thrilled that I finally have it up and rolling here in Southwest Colorado! There is a fairly big adoption community in Durango. . .it is so neat to see! And it is so fun to see how much it is growing. . .two adoptions from Rwanda in the early stages right now!! I'll keep you posted! I'm excited to become a part of the adoption community in Durango!

Hi Jamie--I came across your blog while I was googling Rwanda adoptions and AWAA. I am so inspired by your posts and by your amazing family. My husband and I are beginning the process to adopt from Rwanda, hopefully with AWAA, but we also have 3 bio children and it seems that could pose some issues. I'd love to chat with you--I live in Colo Spgs--please email me at your convenience. I'd love to learn about your adoption journey. keges.est.1997@gmail.com. Thank you so much! Blessings, Erin www.ourlittleways.org

Hi from Colorado Springs. We heard about your family from Valarie and Darren McKinnis. We adopted our little Corbin 5 years ago through Valarie's mothers agency in OK.
So I wanted to introduce us to you. We have good friends in Durango Pastor Dwight Saunders and his family. (River Church)
We are really praying and hoping that we might be able to be apart of Rwanda adoptions. If there is some way we could help????
Anyway, nice to meet your family again...your children are all so gorgeous!

How wonderful to be involved in a group like this. My husband and I have recently been approached by several other families in our community here in Breckenridge regarding their desire to adopt. Perhaps this is something we can think about doing here. Thanks for sharing.

They Made It!!!!

This is Kelly blogging for Jamie,and I just got off the phone with her. After traveling for 44 hours, they finally made it. I'm overjoyed by the news that they were able to MEET Ruk for the first time pretty soon after they arrived as well, and everything went GREAT!!! Jamie says he is VERY small... even smaller than Dax, and that he is probably a size 4... WOW! Jamie says that all his teeth are coming in and is not the toothless guy we have seen photos of. She also said that he was very sweet and affectionate with her, and that he called her mommy already. This is a great sign as it shows he is open and ready for a family!!! Jamie was told that all day long he was chatting away that he was going to meet his mommy today! Sniff, sniff!!! Hays and Ruk hit it off real well too and didn't have any of that awkward and shy first time to meet you syndrome. They played for over an hour, and Hays had a BALL with his rambunctious and playful brother, Ruk. Lots of hugging and kissing were...

A Little Bit Of News From The Land Of A Thousand Hills. . .

I heard from Tim, my POA, today. Here is what his email said: We had a brief meeting, superior nun and was busy but favorable to adoption. She is encouraged by your heart especially with a second adoption. We have rescheduled to meet Saturday morning to finalize choice of the child. I shared your preferences and they don't have any issue with it. They told me that I need to proceed carefully especially with regards to other kids staying at the orphanage who may not get the chance of being adopted. Hopefully, I'll be able to get a picture of the boy that you may adopt! So. . .I'm assuming that Saturday means tomorrow. I am a little nervous! I am actually a lot nervous, but am trying to minimize that feeling by reminding myself that God knows the perfect child for our family! I'll be praying today!!!!!

Recovering P31

What?  A recovering P31? Proverbs 31 describes the wife of noble character.  This wife gets up early and works hard all day long and isn't even tired when she finally retires from all of her work at night.  She is a servant to her husband and she makes him proud.  She is a fantastic mom and I'm sure, if there was Pinterest in the day, she would be the Pinterest-y-est of the moms.  She isn't afraid of hard work and she has the pantry stocked in the case of an emergency and she has her family ready for cold winters, famine and hard times.  She helps strangers and loved ones alike and she has her sights set beyond herself.  Her husband praises her and her children are grateful for her and call her blessed. Oh my gosh!  What a great lady!  I want to be like her!  So why am I a recovering P31 and why am I writing about it now when I'm not even a wife? (For starters, I think this kind of noble woman is a goal regardless of any woman's marital ...
