We're Home

Well some of us are home, but for some reason I just can't bring myself to blog on this blog yet.  This blog is about our normal lives, as abnormal as it may be sometimes, and life just is NOT normal right now.

If you haven't been keeping up with our adoption journey you may have missed the big announcement!  We were granted legal guardianship of our daughter, but on the final leg of our journey she was denied her VISA at the US Embassy in Kampala.  We can't bring our daughter home...

I, being 28 weeks pregnant and having just entered my 3rd trimester, needed to get home and begin preparing to bring another life in the world.

We split our family up on Sunday, the 20th, as I got on an airplane with Areyna and Zeke to make our trek home on a flight that was meant to be for our ENTIRE FAMILY!

While I prepare for this new little one to enter this world, Josh continues to live in Uganda with our little girl and fight for her little life to have a family in this world!

We have been to hell and back over the past 2 months...wait we still feel the heat of this very real battle, but we are going to fight this until the bitter end.  It's time for our little girl to come home!

He came home with his Meme.

You can continue to follow our family over at
until I can get the nerve to come back to the land of the "normal".

This picture makes me cry every time I see it. I sure wish I could let the Uganda Embassy see it and they would see "this mother's love for her family." We all love you so much.
