I'm really bad at updating this blog! I barely can keep my other one going, which I finally updated today! I knew that doing 'hospitality' for adoptive families was a good idea-- perhaps I just didn't anticipate how well it would take off! From mid July till today I will say that my laundry machine has been putting in a lot of hours! It has been so fun though, and even though I don't enjoy getting up to say goodbye to nearly everyone who takes the 5:45 am flight to Frankfurt, I have so loved this opportunity to walk through the adoption process with the 25+ families who have crossed my threshold since this all began in February.
I also had the privilege of having my friend Jenny from England come stay with me for a month, so she helped run the joint while I was doing camps this summer, and with her wealth of experience working with kids, she too was able to add a lot to the families' experiences.
This week is a bit of a breather before I pick back up to a full schedule next week-- but then again, that could change at any moment! :)
Here are some of my wonderful families that have stayed as of late....
 |
| The Greens with the new additions Daniel & Lydia |
 |
| Jenny & I with Ian |
 |
| Ian's Mom and Dad, Matt and Kristin |
 |
| The McPeeks, currently in Donetsk region adopting a sweet 8-year-old. |
I hope to be a short term resident along with my adopted daughter, Amber, before too long! :) Once we get our court date, I will email you to see if you have availability! :)
