The Stickley family adventures started in Hawaii in 2005 when Cris and Emilie were married. The real excitement began in May 2008, when Nova was born. 2 short months later, our little June-Bug joined the family from all the way in Vietnam. The next few crazy years included Emilie being deployed to Afghanistan, while Cris and the girls moved back to Hawaii, then a long year of living apart (and a lot of trips across the Pacific Ocean), while Emilie remained in Colorado to complete her Army committment, and Cris had to stay in Hawaii for his job at the University.

In the summer of 2012, little Jude joined our family, and the whole gang reunited for good in Hawaii!

Follow our adventures, as we try to keep track of life with our 3 crazy kids, while keeping our friends and family updated on the happenings here in Hawaii!

The Meeting

Yesterday was the meeting with our adoption agency to figure out where to go from here.

To summarize, the director of the agency will be going to Vietnam the first week of January. She wants to visit the orphanage director, and the children, and try to figure out what went wrong, and how to prevent it next time. She said the orphanage director feels very horrible about the error, and is anxious to rectify the situation.

The other big news is that they have already identified a baby for us. We don't know anything at all about her. We asked her to please wait until she had all of the paperwork ready to go, and was totally sure everythign was perfectly in line before she gave us any information. we don't know how long that will be, but we should have more information after the director gets back from her trip in January.

We both feel pretty good about the meeting. We are not really anxious to rush the process at all, as we don't want to risk any errors, so we are ok with waiting however long it takes to get her paperwork ready before we find out any info about her.

Otherwise things are going well. Betsy and I are leaving on Sunday to come to Ohio for a visit. Cris will be holding down the fort and watching Summit and Sherpa until i get home next week.
