I've started this blog because I have found a few families with blogs waiting like I am for a child from Lithuania. I found them helpful. To know that I am not alone. So I have decided to start one of my own, to share our story, and maybe help someone while they wait.
My name is Carolyn and I am married to Broderick and have 3 children. All boys! We have talked about adopting at many different times in our marriage and now just seemed like the time to do it. It has weighed heavily on our hearts for quite some time. So with a lot of prayer and a big leap of faith, we filled out our paperwork. In June of 2010 we received word that we were approved by the Lithuanian government and we were number 249 on the waiting list. On September 24, 2010 we received an update that we have moved to number 225. It was GREAT to see progress, but we still have so far to go!
Currently my husband is in Lithuania on a mission trip, his third. Oh how I wish he could do something while he was over there to speed up the process! I can't wait to see his pictures when he returns, although the ones of the orphanages are sure to break my heart!
If you have stumbled across my blog and are adopting or have adopted from Lithuania, PLEASE share your story with me. In some crazy way, it helps.
