Sofia was an orphan with Down syndrome in Eastern Europe and now has a forever family.
Join us on our adoption journey and thank you for helping us bring her home!

The Volcano

Between the recent adoption fiasco in Russia (which is NOT where we are adopting from) and now the volcano in Iceland shutting down air travel in most of Europe, we are needing more prayers than ever that we can fly out Monday morning and begin our adoption process without delay.

Flights are cancelled all over Europe today so if we were flying today, we wouldn't get anywhere. Please GOD clear the ashes away so that flights can resume! We CANNOT miss our appointment on Thursday.

  2. Praying for your family and Sofia... God will make it happen. Keep your faith up. You blasted through this process way too fast (amazing, by the way) to be held up now. You are a mom on a mission - that is unstoppable!! Ever praying that He will make it happen... God Bless You all.

  3. Praying for you Jen! I read today that the meteorologists thought that by Sunday things would be better for travel. Let's hope so!

  6. Praying that you'll be leaving on a jet plane on Monday! Most important, of course, is that you're in-country for your SDA appointment (AND meeting your daughter!)... but it'd be great to hear that you'd been able to meet up with Shawn, Sarah, and Zoya, too! :)

  9. Saying lot of prayers for you and Hector! I am glad the Russian adoption fiasco is not affecting adoptions to US families in other Eastern European countries. Praying that the ashes clear and you can see Sofia soon!

    All my best, Caitlin
