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!

Ladies and Gentleman, Mark Your Calendars....

Our I-600 is officially acknowledged and logged in. According to the US/Vietnam agreement, the US government has 60 days (well, recently that has changed to 60 business days) to approve our case. See the new ticker at the bottom of the page for the countdown!

There have been some recent attempts by a very bitter but powerful american adoption official in Vietnam to sabotage adoptions to the U.S. No one knows why, but she is doing her best to make life difficult for many families trying to bring home their children. We are praying hard that she will look favorably on our case and we will sail through the approval process.

In the mean time, here are some pictures from our awesome weekend getaway to Kauai.

in spite of the warning signs, we never found Coral.
