For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to help you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11. Tuesday, July 15, 2008. It's been a while since I've updated you all on how the adoption is going.this is because well.there's a lot of "hurry up and wait" in an adoption process. For the past (what seems like forever) we've been tweaking my homestudy to reflect my desire to adopt an HIV child (hopefully boy) from Ethiopia. That is finally done! 2) I'm a prett...

Who If Not Me? You are welcome to share our joy, anger, fear and excitement as we move through the process of adopting our HIV son and daughter from Ethiopia. Saturday, September 8, 2007. How to Convince Your Family that You Are Not Taking on Too Much? I was finally able to talk to my brother yesterday. Unfortunately, it had to be on the phone. Which wasn't ideal. But overall it went okay. He admitted he doesn't know anything about HIV - which is fine! I think that it can also be just adoption related (s...

Woven Together Forever: Meeting our kids!
http://woventogetherforever.blogspot.com/2012/07/meeting-our-kids.html
Sunday, July 15, 2012. This last week, as we "re-entered" our world here in PA, my heart is so heavy for the three children we left in Ethiopia. We arrived in Addis on Saturday, but were not allowed to visit the orphanage until Monday morning. As we pulled up to the orphanage gates, the anticipation of the children who lived behind those walls was overwhelming! The gates were opened and children were everywhere. Would we recognize ours? They all said that she is "theirs" and I can see why), showing us ea...

Woven Together Forever: December 2011
http://woventogetherforever.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 20, 2011. Posted by Woven Together Forever. Tuesday, December 13, 2011. I knew this would happen. I predicted it in my first post, and have been upset with myself for the last 4 months since my last post. Not that I did not have plenty to write about, I just could not get it on paper. Could it be writers block? Or could it be laziness? For me, that could look like many hours a day shopping, or reading, or exercising (ha! Posted by Woven Together Forever.

Who If Not Me? You are welcome to share our joy, anger, fear and excitement as we move through the process of adopting our HIV son and daughter from Ethiopia. Thursday, August 23, 2007. The Cat's Outta the Bag! OK, so I have been horrible about posting! This blog thing really doesn't come very natural to me. However, I think it is important to share the things we are going through. I know that when we were deciding whether or not we "could" adopt an HIV positive child, this series of posts. So that's it,...

Who If Not Me?: What to do when you are so "over it"?
http://whoifnotme.blogspot.com/2007/09/what-to-do-when-you-are-so-over-it.html
Who If Not Me? You are welcome to share our joy, anger, fear and excitement as we move through the process of adopting our HIV son and daughter from Ethiopia. Thursday, September 6, 2007. What to do when you are so "over it"? I'm having a bit of a problem - there is still one person left on my 'list' to disclose AJ's. Here is my problem:. I am so OVER the issues! We spent weeks (months! Over the decision. Researching, talking, etc. Now, that we are committed to AJ. And that makes me feel kind of bad!

Who If Not Me? You are welcome to share our joy, anger, fear and excitement as we move through the process of adopting our HIV son and daughter from Ethiopia. Monday, September 24, 2007. Our Great News - and, what's that? The sound of our joy being sucked away. I haven't even had the 'fun' of announcing yet that Drew and I made a very exciting decision - not only are we adopting AJ from AHOPE, but also a daughter! To be perfectly frank, my relationship with my parents, formerly very close, has changed dr...

Woven Together Forever: Her Face
http://woventogetherforever.blogspot.com/2012/09/her-face.html
Friday, September 28, 2012. As we enter the final stretch of our "wait", I am looking back at how far we have come. Many wonder how this adoption ever started, we have 4 beautiful yet crazy kiddos (3 who came to us via adoption), why in the world would we "rock the boat" even more? We were then chosen by a birthmother, and she was in Ohio. I remember thinking at the time, Ohio, really? Posted by Woven Together Forever. September 28, 2012 at 9:20 PM. So beautiful, Michelle!
