Our Very First Blog



Hey everyone. . . . We are very new to this whole blog thing. A friend told us of other adoptive parents that were adopting from Guatemala that have a blog, so we wanted to start a blog in hopes of making some friends with other adoptive parents. We feel alone and scared going through the whole adoption process right now in Guatemala since we do not know anyone else currently adopting. We have only received 3 pictures (with one set being the birth picture) from our child in the past year and no pictures since Christmas! We were supposed to already have her but with the new birth mothers interviews, we have been delayed. They are now guesstimating around the end of September. We just found out yesterday that we did get through the birth mothers interview ok. Our little girl's name is Hannah Chloe Holleman. We call this adoption journey.. Chloe's Journey! Check out her website at www.chloesjourney.com.

Thanks for your prayers and we look forward to hearing from many of you and developing long lasting friendships!

Your little princesa is just beautiful. We too have adopted from Guatemala. Our "Guatemalan Prince" Joshua was placed in our FOREVER arms in Oct. '07. Even though we are not going through the process right now I do have several friends (long distance) in the adoption world that are. I will add you and your family to my list of prayers.
God Bless,
Kelly

April and Greg, I am so glad you are blogging. Now I can keep up with you and little Hannah Chloe. I can't wait to hear the words "We're bringing her home!" How exciting. Love you guys, Heather
