Our Girls: March 2009
http://galinatonya.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 20, 2009. Two more cars, dresses for dances, makeup, hair "things" and the list goes on. LOL! Please pray with us for the girls that God will prepare their hearts so that they will want to come and join our family. When I think of spring it reminds me of a song that I sang as a teenager in my church. What a wonderous time is spring, when all the trees are budding. The birds begin to sing, the flowers start their blooming. That's how it is with God's love, once you've experienced it. 12/3/20...

Our Girls: One Month Ago
http://galinatonya.blogspot.com/2009/09/one-month-ago.html
Wednesday, September 9, 2009. The second week our son Gabe and his family came to visit from Orlando. Gabe could only stay 2 days because of work obligations but Christina and Cash stayed for a week which was much needed grandparent time. Christina allowed me to "takeover" Cash for the week. For all of you who know me babies are my thing! I can't think of anything that would help me heal better than cuddling with my grandson. God's time? September 9, 2009 at 9:26 AM. September 9, 2009 at 12:05 PM. I̵...

Our Girls: May 2009
http://galinatonya.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 29, 2009. OK, there is no such place as Frankfurt, DE so maybe that means our dossier is in Frankfurt, Germany. That's what I'm going to believe since that's closer to Astana and it's been there all day without moving. And believe me I've checked numerous times. Thursday, May 28, 2009. Currently our dossier is in Frankfurt, DE and expected to arrive in Astana on June 9th. Yeah, we are getting there step by step. Tuesday, May 26, 2009. It took 4 weeks and 5 days for it to be approved. From...

Our Girls: January 2009
http://galinatonya.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 31, 2009. What is it with us and winter storm warnings? I just went back and read our blog from our previous attempt to adopt Galina and her brother Sasha in 2005. We had many conflicting stories at the time and weren't sure what to think. After 3 years we believe that Almas just didn't have the power to do our adoption. We believe that there was no grandmother and he told us that because it was an "acceptable". Thursday, January 22, 2009. Adoption Ark Dossier Approval. It promises to b...

Our Girls: February 2010
http://galinatonya.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 19, 2010. I was listening to the radio yesterday and the announcer was talking about God adopting us into his family and I had an AHHA moment. Isn't our adoption experience a good representation of what happens with many of us with God? Are we going to trust him and allow this life changing event? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). But if we look forward to something we don't have yet,. We must wait patiently and confidently. 10/9/2008- Adoptive family offered to check on Galina's status for us.
