Baby Steps

I signed a contract today.

Not to sell a house or buy a car. Not a marriage certificate. Not a vacation rental or an insurance policy or for new employment. Not even a baseball contract; though I've heard my Dodgers need someone to find a 3rd out against the Red Sox.

No - not any of the "normal" contracts of every day comfortable American life - today, I signed an Adoption Services Contract to pursue an international adoption from Brazil.

My wife, Erica, and I have discussed adoption regularly during our 10+ years of being married. God has blessed us with 3 biological kids already. We have always felt that someday, in His time, we would be called to walk the road of adoption and to open our home and our hearts to more of His children.

The time is now and we have taken the first steps down that road.

We are nervous. Excited. Anxious. Eager. Delighted. Skeptical. Mostly though, I feel the perfect peace of knowing that we are obeying God's call.

So, what does that mean? Where are we at? How does this work and what happens next?

Over course of the next year (or two, or three, or longer ...) I am going to be posting updates and thoughts and information to this Blog and to our Facebook pages and through e-mails and newsletters and face-to-face with anyone who will listen.

We want to share our hearts with you through this journey. We will need you to partner with us in prayer and in financial support along the way.

Right now though, I just want you to know that we are deeply happy and filled with joy at the prospect of parenting another of God's Children.

Children are a gift from the Lord; a blessing from Him! ~ Psalm 127:3

I caught a glimpse of heaven today. No, it was not the sun rising in Miami, or setting in west Texas. No, it was not the genuine kindness if strangers who simply said, "God bless your family" as they saw Erica Blaschke and I with our precious 7 little ones. It was not the U.S. Customs official or even the flag of the fallen to honor those who died in service on Sept. 11. The glimpse of heaven was the bright-eyed wonder in my son's eyes when he saw our house for the first time. Lincon has been through things in his little life that I will never understand. He has been lied to by adults, betrayed, abandoned, neglected, and worse his whole life. He does not trust easily. And he has asked, almost incessantly, for the past week, "Estados Unidos?" And every time, my answer is the same. Trust me son, just wait a little longer. He wanted to believe me. But it has never happened before. We left the apartment in Curitiba on Thursday morning at 4:00. Airport. F...

The Puzzle

We were still deciding whether or not to try a fundraiser in 2018, or if we should wait until 2019, when Erica suggested this "Piece of The Puzzle" idea to me. For $5 family and friends can sponsor a piece. We will do a 1,000 piece puzzle, and raise $5,000 for the adoption. I honestly didn't think we would get close to our goal. Then we had a loving patron pledge to match anything we raised between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Then the gifts started pouring in. From over 30 different people, we have been blessed with $2,060 as of Dec. 16, 2018! Piecing this puzzle together has been an absolute blast and I wanted to share some photos with you so you can visualize the great support we have received. First, the puzzle itself. This is an InGoooood puzzle, purchase from Amazon.com (we redeemed Discover Cash Back Points for it). We wanted something that would be colorful and fun, that our future kids can hang in their room and keep for a long time. We wanted a 1,000 pi...

Education? For parents!

Adoption To-Do List 1. Homestudy 2. Dossier Preparati on 3. Approval 4. Match ing 5. I-800 finalization 6. Travel I keep thinking we can cross more things off the list, but then we look and we are only 85% or 99% of the way done with stuff. The Dossier, for example. We have 22 of 23 items crossed off. The last item is completed, but pending a final approval before getting notarized here and then submitted. The whole packet of original documents had to be Notarized in New Mexico and mailed to our Adoption Service Provider (ASP). The ASP is having the entire file apostilled into the state of Alabama (a legal process for certifying that thing is indeed the original thing of the thing it is). Then it will be translated into Portuguese and submitted to CEJA (Brazil's Central Adoption Authority). Or the I-800, which we were delighted to hear has been approved by US Customs and Immigration. But I guess there are some outstanding specifics once we have been officially matc...
