Friend Family Adoption: Our trip to Latvia!
http://latviaadoption.blogspot.com/2011/09/our-trip-to-latvia.html
Sunday, September 11, 2011. Our trip to Latvia! Anyway, the cheapest flights this time were out of St. Louis on American Airlines/Finnair. I don't think Leigah ever got nervous but was giddy all day, clapping and jumping around. Micah on the other hand - she was excited but her tummy was butterfly filled. She almost hyperventilated on the first flight. Take off from St. Louis. Whew - we made it! Micah gave up sleep and watched another movie, played on her Ipod or read. I put in my ear buds and cranke...

Friend Family Adoption: May 2011
http://latviaadoption.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 8, 2011. Keegan Thomas Friend, born October 19, 1995 came into this world with babies for parents. We were so young and so unsure of what we were doing but he thrived. Keegan is a hard worker just like his dad. He enjoys spending time with Joe learning new things and experiencing the life of a pastor. He is driven to succeed! Keegan is also so compassionate (when he wants to be). He has a soft heart and cares for his family, very much! That's her in a nutshell. She is working so hard a le...

Monday, September 12, 2011. Dr Appt., a trip to Lido and emotions! That was an interesting nights sleep! So while waiting for them to finish the paperwork, we headed to the cafe in the building we were in, which by the way is: The World Trade Center Riga! We enjoyed coffee or Coke till Leigah's bladder was full! We went back to the office so she could do her business and the secretary could finish the last line of paperwork. The lady thtat helped us told me to return tomorrow after 11am. A few minutes af...

Friend Family Adoption
http://latviaadoption.blogspot.com/2011/09/knowing-that-our-plans-were-almost-non.html
Wednesday, September 14, 2011. We are done #1, she is officially our daughter and we are headed home! Ann and fam showed up shortly after we did (9:45) and the adults talked and laughed ourselves to tears in one room and the girls watched a movie in the other. Around 1 am, we figured we should head to bed. But of course I'm writing this, so it's considerably later! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Current Deadlines for Leigah's Adoption.

Friend Family Adoption: Happy 14th Birthday Micah!!!
http://latviaadoption.blogspot.com/2011/09/happy-14th-birthday-micah.html
Sunday, September 11, 2011. Happy 14th Birthday Micah! So what does a 14 year old girl want for her birthday, well mine wanted to come to Latvia to complete the adoption of her younger sister. She actually paid for her passport and over $200 of her ticket. She brought her own spending money and is doing well holding on to it until today. We didn't waste any time getting to the beach. After hanging out on the beach for at least 2 hours, we walked the length until we came to a WC - TOILET! Ummmm, YES MA'AM!

Friend Family Adoption: June 2011
http://latviaadoption.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 20, 2011. When a member of our family is on the toilet a long time, it its asked of them if the fell in. Well, I've been off here for some time and no I haven't fallen in. Life happens and busyness interrupts! My biggest concern in this adoption has always been Micah. Will she feel pushed side, will our relationship change, will she worry about our love for her and will she accept Leigah as her sister after the whole Meggie ordeal. Let me say this: they are really sweet sisters! 3rd Trip to ...

Friend Family Adoption: February 2011
http://latviaadoption.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 28, 2011. Leigah would like to share her new name with you! Sunday, February 27, 2011. We saw all the normal animals at the zoo but many were penned up in warmer enclosures, which was perfectly fine with us. The Giraffes were incredible, and the tigers were beautiful. The most impressive thing for the kids to see were not the lions, tigers or bears (oh my! We hung out next to these lovely furry, creatures! Back to the tram, it was so easy! After church we went to eat at Lido's and purpos...
