Gilberts for His Glory: Adoption Update
http://gilbertsforhisglory.blogspot.com/2015/03/adoption-update.html
Adopting a Child with HIV. Saturday, March 7, 2015. My last post, almost four months ago, was an adoption update that was hard to write. This one is even harder. But as I just read over my words from that last update. My heart was encouraged again by the unchanging character of our God who is always faithful, always good, and always right on time. I needed my own reminder to myself as share where we are currently in this process! Who is HIV positive. AGCI gave families the option of staying in the ET pro...

We Received our I-800! | A New Name
https://doriety.wordpress.com/2014/10/14/we-received-our-i-800
Our journey to bring our daughter home. We Received our I-800! What’s the time frame? We’ve been told it takes about 2 weeks from the time we receive the I-800 to get the NVC letter. That would be next Wednesday, but a PDF version can be requested. I requested one as soon as I knew how, but I’ve heard nothing. Crazy making I tell you! The kids are eager too, especially E. This entry was posted in Uncategorized. October 14, 2014. FINALLY….the LOA! 2 thoughts on “ We Received our I-800! June 12, 2013- Bega...

https://doriety.wordpress.com/2014/12
Our journey to bring our daughter home. Monthly Archives: December 2014. From Orphan to Daughter. I have to share some pictures of our sweet little girl! She seems to love us already. She is going to fit in well. She likes to sleep and loves to laugh. We are so blessed! I wish you all could have heard them shouting her Chinese name when we went in. It’s been hard not to call her by it because of the way it grabbed her attention. It was meal time while we were there….congee. Congee is rice b...Her nanny p...

February | 2015 | A New Name
https://doriety.wordpress.com/2015/02
Our journey to bring our daughter home. Monthly Archives: February 2015. Sorry for the delay in updates. We have not been sleeping like we once did. Caris finds a reason to wake up almost every night (gas pain, being cold, attachment–i.e. Momma are you still here? 8221; Now, he didn’t seem like a jovial kind of guy, but I tried to respectfully state the obvious. I was thinking, “For goodness sakes, you’re a heart doctor. That is the whole reason we came! 8221; I replied, “From the PDA surgery she h...

From Orphan to Daughter | A New Name
https://doriety.wordpress.com/2014/12/16/from-orphan-to-daughter
Our journey to bring our daughter home. From Orphan to Daughter. I have to share some pictures of our sweet little girl! She seems to love us already. She is going to fit in well. She likes to sleep and loves to laugh. We are so blessed! Our visit to the orphanage went well. Caris didn’t cry (thankfully) when we went or when we left. She played with the nannies but she was ready to go when it was time. I hope our pictures and video will be good for her later. Her nanny politely asked if she could feed he...

Getting Settled | A New Name
https://doriety.wordpress.com/2015/01/07/getting-settled
Our journey to bring our daughter home. Hope you all are off to a great 2015! And walks holding our fingers. She loves her big brother and sister and they love her. We taught all our kids some very basic sign language before they could talk (to teach them to use “words” and not scream). She signs “more”, “eat”, “milk”, and “bath”. Our first week home she woke up in the middle of the night (A LOT! She is soooooooo smart! All of our kids have endured their parents’ goofy idea of “Crazy Hair Dor...She must ...

October | 2014 | A New Name
https://doriety.wordpress.com/2014/10
Our journey to bring our daughter home. Monthly Archives: October 2014. I pray someone in China is celebrating you today! If not, we will do our best to make up for it. I promise, as long as it’s within my power, your first birthday will be the last lonely birthday you ever have. Next year you’ll have a homemade cake and hopefully a favorite American meal by then. If not, I will learn how to cook Chinese dumplings or whatever it is you like. This entry was posted in Uncategorized. October 26, 2014. Octob...

China! A picture post | A New Name
https://doriety.wordpress.com/2014/12/07/china-a-picture-post
Our journey to bring our daughter home. View from hotel room window. View from our hotel room window. Gingerbread house….quite impressive! Other adoptive parents in our group. Cooking on the sidewalk. Picture menus have been helpful…though I still don’t know what all is in there. We were glad to see a Wal-Mart! That’s a mask you see on that lady’s face for the smog. (notice the haze). This is the GROCERY section. I guess she’s catching dinner. Lots of options…fish, turtle, frog. In front of hospital.
