Our family journey through adopting from Ghana. September 9, 2013 by teamvandervelde. We decided to not get too crazy-organized with summer plans. Overall, we just wanted to have some fun and make some memories doing what “normal” families do. Thankfully, our family is doing, on the whole, fairly well. Summer was a good season for us. We spent a good deal of time in West Michigan at the beach. Such great times playing with friends and family! 13 years of marriage…. But instead opted for a night out in Gr...

Our family journey through adopting from Ghana. Laquo; There is a need in China! Plan B… and Other Thoughts. May 20, 2013 by teamvandervelde. When people say to us, “God chose these kids for you. They’ve always been yours, and now finally they made it to the family God wanted for them,” we cringe. We are Plan B. 8220;Your kids are so lucky,” or “Your kids are so blessed.”. He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.”. Look at my Black Skin! 8221; and then laughed and laughed...

Have you ever considered international adoption? If so, this may be the opportunity for you to jump in and go for it. Bethany Christian Services is the agency we worked with for Caleb and Izzy’s adoption. They are amazing! We highly recommend working with them.

Our family journey through adopting from Ghana. Laquo; Getting It. Finally… an update. June 14, 2013 by teamvandervelde. Feels like forever since we posted anything on here, looking back our last post was May 27… So much has happened since then! So what’s been going on with us…. Izzy’s feeling sooo much better! Happy Caleb, Izzy and Annika. You can see Caleb’s herniated belly button in this picture. All fixed now. Caleb at the hospital, waiting for his surgery. Gotta love the size of that drink! My young...

Our family journey through adopting from Ghana. Home for a week now! May 9, 2013 by teamvandervelde. Wow, time flies! Um, wait, just kidding… Feels like the longest week in history actually!

Our family journey through adopting from Ghana. Laquo; Home for a week now! There is a need in China! May 14, 2013 by teamvandervelde. We’re going on nearly 2 weeks since we’ve taken full custody of Caleb and Izzy. On Wednesday, it will be 2 weeks that they have been home. We’re starting to hit a period where the “honeymoon” is over, and normal life is taking over. But what is normal life? We’re not really sure yet… We’re in transition. 8221; Lord, make it come quickly. Izzy is either piping hot or freez...

Our family journey through adopting from Ghana. Laquo; Finally… an update. July 31, 2013 by teamvandervelde. Okay…. so it’s been a busy summer! So where do we start? Caleb accomplished something huge this week! He’s riding on two wheels… no more training wheels on his bike. This is a huge deal! 8221; God is good. Izzy enjoying a massive donut on the 4th of July. Cousin time at the Jones’ lake house in Michigan. It’s basically like a United Nations meeting for kids. The results of Caleb’s climbing a...

Our family journey through adopting from Ghana. Laquo; Plan B… and Other Thoughts. Finally… an update. May 27, 2013 by teamvandervelde. One of the big changes we’ve noticed lately is how good Caleb and Izzy’s English has become. So great to hear things like, “Yeah, Dad,” (instead of “Yes, Daddy”) and “Let’s go, guys,” and “K! 8221; and “Sort of.” All sorts of American-style English phrases and slang. Some fun highlights this past week:. However, we have watched quite a few movies. Until lately, the E...
