Announcing....

Yep, we're at it again!  Claudia is going to have a little brother! 

 

Meet "Chance" no, it is not his real name, but it will be what he will be known to everyone until he is legally ours.

 

Due to his country's restrictions, there is very little information that we can share with you until he is legally ours.  So for those inquiring minds, here is what we can share:

 

He is in a country in Eastern Europe, he just turned one in September, this picture was taken in June.  His country requires us to travel there on two separate trips, we will have to leave him there after the first trip and return for him several months later.  It is estimated that the adoption will take anywhere between 15 and 18 months, give or take.  Yes, it will be a long process but at least we have a more realistic time line this time around.

 

Sadly, we will be unable to share any other pictures of videos of "Chance" with you all until he is legally ours.  We cannot wait until the day we can call him our son.

 

Please join us in our journey to adopt him, it is sure to be full of twists and turns as is any adoption!

 

In order to earn some extra money to pay for the adoption, I have become an Origami Owl consultant, my personal page is www.origami4orphans.origamiowl.com.  All purchases made through that link will go directly to me and will go towards bringing Chance home.

 

We have a Family Sponsorship Page set up through Reece's Rainbow if anyone would like to make a tax-deductible donation towards our adoption, the link to that page is: http://reecesrainbow.org/69430/sponsorvanhalle-2

 

I hope you will share our excitement!  Claudia has progressed SO MUCH in the 10 months she has been home, we can't wait to be able to provide stability and love to Chance.
