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.

Nicholas Nicholas & more Nicholas!!
Nicholas & Poppa having fun in Almaty!! Nicholas' Homecoming!!!
He looks like he really is having a great time with Poppa - and Poppa looks like he is head over heals for Nicholas. Thanks for the pics we love seeing them
it will never get old looking at his beautiful face....thanks for giving me the honor of his first haircut!!! He was such a pleasure... ALL KIDS SHOULD SIT LIKE THAT. I have his picture on my station and everyone comments on him...YOU GUYS ARE TRULY BLESSED. but i don't need to tell you that.
So guys- We are loving looking at the pix of Nicholas and his family. Karaganda was a long time ago huh? His room looks great! The only thing missing in the bath tub is a lamb kabob! Love, Max

Greetings from Yulia and Gabi!! So happy to see Nicholas home! He really is a star!!! I love his room and his new hair cut.
Wow - you've been busy! He is so cute and what a great room! He must be in heaven - and it must be heaven to have your boy home!
Hi Darlene,
I just got caught up on their return home and then this latest post. Photos are adorable. He is just so darn cute.
I'm sorry it was hard for Poppa on the flight home. That is my fear with our little one (I'll be alone too). But they're both home safe!
Take care,
Eileen
