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.

Step by step, one step closer to home

Mornin, everyone,

Aunt Sharron here with news from Almaty. Karon, John, and Emerson are hanging out getting to know each other better in an apartment next door to Aunt Stephie's friend's daughter Kate and her family. They are learning the ins and outs of feeding, changing, and sleeping, all punctuated by various giggles from Emerson, who seems to delight in everything.

This weekend, they got to see mountains that are higher than anything we have in the US - 22,000 feet! Plus a river, over there on the other side of the world.

As you've already read, due to various delays, they are now hoping to be in Seattle by 7 pm Friday. Of course, everything is subject to change. Stay tuned for details on the revised date and time for the coming home party!

They are very grateful for everyone's words of encouragement as they make their way through this last frustrating, and expensive, part of their journey.

Until next time, be well,

Sharron

Aunt Sharron, thanks for filling in the gaps. As you have probably guessed, this little guy's journey is very important in our daily lives:-) Friday night doesn't seem too far away. Our prayers for a safe journey and wonderful last days in Almaty.
Love,
Jim and Beth

This is exciting--he'll soon be here in Grant County! Everything happens for a reason, even though we may never know why. He's in our prayers here, and we can hardly wait to see Karon and John with their new family! A surrogate Grant County Grandma--Georgia
