The Hamersma Adoption: November 2007
http://hamersmaadoption.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
This page documents the adventures of Rob and Sarah Hamersma as they experience the blessing of adoption! Thursday, November 29, 2007. Reflections and an Update. I promised a while ago to post a list of some of the blessings God has provided that may not have been possible if he had not made this path to children difficult for us. I call the list "Blessings on the Path that Veered from my Plan." Here are a few selections. If we had been given our first child when we initially planned, we probably would n...

The Hamersma Adoption: March 2008
http://hamersmaadoption.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
This page documents the adventures of Rob and Sarah Hamersma as they experience the blessing of adoption! Friday, March 28, 2008. Well, no referral yet. As for us - we need to talk to our agency, but obviously it's not looking good. Please pray as we likely make a decision about our next step. We would like to see where God might be opening a door for us. It's a good thing our optimism is always cautious - it seems we continue to be tested right now. Sunday, March 23, 2008. Continuing to move forward.

This page documents the adventures of Rob and Sarah Hamersma as they experience the blessing of adoption! Wednesday, July 30, 2008. The final post is here. Well everyone, the time has come. This is the actual 100th post, and a symbol that one journey is finished and another is beginning! I can't leave this blog, though, without telling you all what a very rich plan God has revealed in all of this. One of my friends has a great quote on her website:. Isn't that just about right?

This page documents the adventures of Rob and Sarah Hamersma as they experience the blessing of adoption! Thursday, June 26, 2008. Finally, the backache I've been waiting for! I had a "to-do" list for our adoption - things to do before this second trip. One of them was "work out upper body." I bet you can guess whether I did that - hah! But you don't need to ask if it's worth it :). This morning in our Moscow hotel, we did our U.S. Embassy doctor visit. This is an English-speaking Russian doc...But the w...

The Hamersma Adoption: June 2008
http://hamersmaadoption.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
This page documents the adventures of Rob and Sarah Hamersma as they experience the blessing of adoption! Monday, June 30, 2008. Out and about - a little bit. Our time in Moscow has not involved a lot of activity outside our apartment since we are trying to keep Meredith fairly on schedule with her usual eating and sleeping habits. As we walked home, you were falling asleep in your stroller and so we though you were ready for a nap. But when you got home, you were just cranky! Daddy and I took turns tryi...

This page documents the adventures of Rob and Sarah Hamersma as they experience the blessing of adoption! Tuesday, October 30, 2007. An update, and yet not really. Guys, we just can't seem to catch a break. Plain and simple. I don't know what I'd do if I didn't think God had a plan in all this. Sunday, October 21, 2007. Oh the long,long wait. There's no news yet. We'll let you know when we hear anything at all. You may remember when I posted this photo in June 2006, after getting my hair cut:. Oh the lon...

The Hamersma Adoption: Home Safe and Sound!
http://hamersmaadoption.blogspot.com/2008/07/home-safe-and-sound.html
This page documents the adventures of Rob and Sarah Hamersma as they experience the blessing of adoption! Friday, July 04, 2008. Home Safe and Sound! We are home and life is good! And actually this doesn't have to be my last post because my friend Matthew discovered that the blog "post counter" that I saw was not quite right - it apparently included a couple of old drafts that were never posted, so I have a few more to go before I reach 100. The flight attendants were also crazy about her, and one of the...
