Dennis & I (Darlene) have created this blog to share with all of our friends and family our journey to adopt. The journey began when we met, fell in love and our desire to begin our family. We struggled for 6 years unsuccessfully to have children. Talk of adoption was something we had always considered and in April of 2007 we thought heaven had opened up when we were introduced to a birth mother who wanted to have us adopt her son. After several months of supporting her and her other child throughout the pregnancy our dreams fell apart when the birth mother scammed us not only out of our money but broke our hearts into a million pieces. Dennis was left to pick up the pieces and has reassured me every step of the way with his love and never ending devotion to our dreams of having a family.
Dennis and I started the long process of adopting from Kazakhstan and in 2008 we meet our son Nicholas.
We are now beginning the long process to adopt a sibling for Nicholas and it looks like Russia is where we will be heading next and hope in 2010 we meet our child!
We hope you will join us on our journey as we will do all our updating on this site. As always your love, prayers, good wishes & support mean the world to us. Thank you for being such an important part of our lives.

Things are moving along..................
Here are the photos we chose to include with our dossier.
Our front lawn was destroyed with all the work to get our backyard done.
The photo with the little yellow duck will be the children's room.
Gorgeous pictures! I remember trying to pick out pictures, and they actaully asked us in court abou the pictures we had in our dossier! I was surprised that they had the original dossier in front of the judge. Glad to see things are moving along! Stacy bssegebarth@aol.com
Great pictures--you had a gorgeous wedding. Someday there will be little feet running around that house--love the rubber ducky. Glad that things are moving along for you.
