Six Months

Chad and I bought these t-shirts for each other this Christmas. Benjamin has one that says, "Anxiously awaiting the arrival of my little sister from Russia." We needed something to help make all of this more real and tangible. 2010 is here and we closer than ever to bringing our baby girl home from Russia!!


We are now officially six months into our wait and sometime later this year we will finally see Hope's face and receive our invitation to travel to Russia! An awesome article was recently published in the Daily News Journal about Just Love Coffee Roasters, the organization that sponsors our online coffee store and gives proceeds to families who are in the process of adopting internationally. You can check it out here:

They raised over $20,000 for families and benevolent organizations just in their first two months of operation! Proceeds go to families adopting internationally and to an Ethiopian orphanage. Our online adoption coffee store has raised about $200 for our adoption so far. You can visit our coffee store here to view delicious Fair Trade Coffees and help support our adoption:

Thank you for your continued encouragement, prayers and support. We are excited about 2010 and all it will bring for our family. Please come back soon for updates on our Journey to Hope!
