First Ever Entry

Hey All

This is the first entry in our blog recording our adoption journey from Ballywalter in Northern Ireland all the way to Arkalyk in Northern Kazakstan and back again with our new daughter :)

I'm a bit new to the whole blogging experience so hopefully I'll pick it up as i go along...

We will try to keep you all updated with our progress everyday along with a few pictures, requests for prayer and we trust reasons to praise the Lord for answered prayer!


After 3 years of jumping through social services hoops and wading through miles of red tape we are finally approved to adopt from Kazakhstan and stand excitedly at the starting line of our adoption journey, today we will be speaking with our agency and hope to get more information on when we can travel, how we get there and where we will be staying when we arrive.

Pray that we will get good news from our agency today and that we will be allowed to travel as soon as we get our visa.

Praise the Lord that He has brought us to this stage so quickly, the best we could have realistically hoped for at the beginning of the year was to travel in Dec/Jan.

OK, think that's enough to get started, I'll add a few pictures and start making the blog look a bit fancier once i work out what I'm doing :)
