Our Christmas Wish!

On December 24, 2020December 24, 2020 By grodekadoptionjourney1 Comment

We are so excited to announce that we have been formally matched with a 6 year old boy from Thailand!  We can’t share his legal name or photo of his face publicly until the adoption is finalized, but we can share that his nickname is Sunny.  It seems fitting since, in almost every photo we …

Our “Fear Less, Love More” t-shirt fundraiser came to a close at the end of September and man, what a success! We sold over 70 shirts and raised nearly $1,200! We also received several generous donations directly to our adoption fund! We are so grateful for everyone who decided to join our team and support …

Fear Less, Love More

On September 6, 2020 By grodekadoptionjourneyLeave a comment

We’ve been heads down the last month knocking out document requests, medical appointments, background checks (yes, one for each of the combined six states we’ve lived in), and having individual and family interviews with our social worker at Catholic Charities. Now we are finally there—our home study is complete! That gives us just enough time …

As some of our closest friends and family know already, we originally started the adoption process in 2017, but put our adoption plan on hold when we became pregnant with our third child, A.  Now that she's older, we're able to start the adoption process again!  We are so excited for this journey and can't …

Big news today!  We’re happy to announce that we are unexpectedly expecting BABY #3! While it’s commonplace and even easy to say, “God has a plan,” it’s harder to comprehend that His plan transcends our understanding of time. This new baby comes as a complete surprise for our family!  Christine just gave away our last …

Our Christmas Announcement

For all of the crafty, creative people out there who do chalkboards on the reg - kudos to you!  More stressful than a timed art history final.  I was definitely sweating by the end of it.  I'm amazed I don't have white chalkboard paint all over myself.  We are getting ready for a Christmas card …

How we got here…

On November 29, 2017January 3, 2018 By grodekadoptionjourneyLeave a comment

The decision to adopt doesn’t come quickly or easily, it doesn’t happen without challenging your brain and tugging at your heart, and it’s so hard to come to, you inevitably find yourself calling to God asking, “What am I getting myself into,” or maybe more poignantly, “What are You getting me into!?” One thing that …
