The Decker's Adoption Journey

This is our story in starting our very own family through international adoption. We will be adopting an infant (or two) from Kazakhstan. Hopefuly we will be traveling this spring to meet and bring home our little one(s). We hope that by reading our story you are able to follow our journey and learn about the process of adoption.

Only Days Left Now



You would think that the harder we worked the smaller our list would get, yet I am finding this not to be true. Our house is nearing completion and there are only a few more things to be done for the kid’s room. We have the pets a home for the next few months, and we even have house sitters (Thank you Wendy and Tom.) We hope to leave Dayville in the middle of next week. We then must drive to Salem to apostil the rest of our court documents. Also, we plan on meeting with our agency in Portland one last time to square away the many details needed before arriving in Kazakhstan. Then at long last we will go to Seattle spend time with family and in the hot tub relaxing before embarking on the biggest adventure of our lives. The one last very important thing we are waiting on is our visa’s which if all goes well we be sent to us on Tuesday or Wednesday of this week. For John the reality is sinking in, for me I still feel so overwhelmed with getting everything ready that I can’t quite see the finish line. It is hard to not knowing what our future family looks like. Oh well, in a matter of weeks this will be a worry that will seem quite trivial for the rest of our lives. Please keep all of the prayers and positive thoughts coming our way, we really appreciate all of the love and support we and our child(ren) are receiving.

Keep plugging away-in two weeks all of today's worries will be so far behind you, you will have forgotten what they are. Our prayers are with you. Love,

Karon and John,

We are with you 100% of the way!! Gunza (sorry I know I misspelled her name) will be well taken care of while you are gone and while she won't be as happy as with you, she'll still be loved. Go forth on this journey with one less worry and bring home the child(ren). How very exciting!! You BOTH will make wonderful parents! :~)

Love,

Amy
