Greetings Everyone -
 .
This week we will be sending the first round of paperwork over to the Ukraine for translation!  Within 4 weeks we hope to have all of our necessary documents in country and translated so we can get our dossier submitted to the Ukrainian government.  Now, it is just a waiting game for us--we are waiting for US immigration to complete our paperwork, and for the FBI to invite us to their Pittsburgh field office for fingerprinting. After we have those two steps completed we will be ready for the final submission to the Ukraine. It looks like we could be travelling within 10 weeks.


HARVEST SHAK - The Harvest Shak is open every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 10-7.  We encourage pre-orders for pick-up at the Shak, especially for prepared food items (soups, salads, quiche, meat pies, etc.) to be sure you get the items you want.  For directions to The Shak click here scroll to the bottom of the page and look for the bubble in the middle of the map.

With only 2 weeks to work with, we tried to show Dema what life would be like here in Central PA--plenty of fresh fruits and veggies, and lots to do!  We took him to Raystown Lake, Delgrosso's Amusement Park, archery shooting, horseback riding, to the playparks both at Legion Field in Hollidaysburg and Tyrone, to the $1 movie theatre in State College and today we went to the Grange Fair! And of course there were plenty of sleep-overs with the boys in his new family!  (After all of that Cindy and I are wondering how we are going to catch-up with all of our work!!!) This morning we used the iGoogle translator to ask him if he wanted us to bring him home to live with us "forever" and of course the answer was a big "DA" (yes) with a smile!  We told him that we would like to have him back with us by Christmas!  Here are some pictures of the week:

Greetings Everyone -
 
Ok, last week we promised some pictures and plenty of updates about our visit with Dema.  So, the pictures will have to wait--we seem to be overwhelmed just trying to keep up with him!  But, he is a great kid, very curious, and eager to try just about anything!  He loved all of the rides at DelGrosso Park, especially the free-fall tower!  And, as far as his eating habits go, I think he may be every mother's dream--he doesn't like sweets!(except for The Meadows frozen custard).  On the first morning, his breakfast consisted of 5 eggs, 1 clove of raw garlic, a bowl full of hot pepper rings, fermented vegetables, and 1 sweet Italian pepper, and a little piccalilly.  We have been told that orphanage children live on such a bland diet that their bodies crave intense flavors--raw garlic fits that bill!  In three days, he has eaten 1/2 bushel of peaches, and plenty of other fruit.  The representative from the orphanage told us this excessive eating is known as orphanage starvation and normally lasts 2-6 weeks after the children leave the orphanage.

This week we began to finalize our home study--a process that assesses our financial stability, mental and physical health, personal history and background, and of course how sutiable our home is for a new addition.  We are currently waiting for our State Police and FBI background checks, we are also waiting for results from some bloodwork.  Our next step will be to apply with the Department of Homeland Security for approval to being Dema into the United States as a US citizen.  That process normally takes 4-6 weeks! 

But, beyond all of the legal hoops we need to jump through, we are anxiously working towards the arrival of the kids August 14th!  If anyone would like to come to the camp to meet the kids, and potentially become a parent to one, please let us know--we will get you the details.  As of the last update, we have "forever homes" for 9 of the 19 kids!

Greetings Everyone -
 
We are progressing with our adoption process, but the big question is...When will you get to meet Dema?? Check the Blog!

What's new outside?? The onoins are in the barn curing, and we have begun soil preperation for our fall harvest of beets and diakon radishes.  It looks like we might have a few early tomatoes this week--we'll know better Monday.  And for the first in nearly 6 weeks I can say the produce field is nearly weed free!!  In the kitchen - this week's soup is grass fed beef vegetable, the quiche is tomato zucchini (tomatoes from our greenhouse, zucchini from the field!).  Also, we'll have tomato basil savory pies - a delicious mixture of (our) tomatoes, basil, parmesan in a spelt crust.

HARVEST SHAK - The Harvest Shak is open every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 10-7.  We encourage pre-orders for pick-up at the Shak, especially for prepared food items (soups, salads, quiche, meat pies, etc.) to be sure you get the items you want.  For directions to The Shak click here scroll to the bottom of the page and look for the bubble in the middle of the map.

Where to find us:  Tuesdays from 2-6 in Boalsburg at PA Military Museum, click on the logo above to find out more about the outdoor farmers' market If you have never visited this market it is a great way to spend an afternoon--lots of vendors and plenty of free parking. Fridays we make deliveries for pre-orders in the parking lot between Uncle Joe's Woodshed and Everything Natural in Altoona from 3:00-3:30 p.m.  Orders may also be picked up at the Harvest Shak Wednesday, Fridays or Saturdays from 10-7.  Please remember that orders for Tuesday/Wednesday need to be placed by noon on Monday, and Friday/Saturday orders are due by Wednesday evening.

This week we made slow progress towards our adoption of 9 year old Dema from the Ukraine. At this point, everything revolves around the completion of our home study which includes local, state, and federalbackground checks, finger prints, lengthy interviews, letters of recomendation, and physicals which include a full blood screen.  Once they finish the work on that, we will begin working with the adoption agency in the Ukraine.  We told you last week that our goal was to travel immediately after Christmas, but we just learned that the entire Ukraine basically shuts down for 1 week starting Jan 5th--the day they celebrate Christmas.  So, if we want to have the adoption complete before our spring farm prep starts, we will need to travel the week beforeThanksgiving and hopefully return in time to celebrate Christmas with our families.  The only "hitch" in this is that by bumping our schedule forward by 5 or 6 weeks, we need to come up with a substancial amount of funding before any of the grants we have applied for will be reviewed.  So ,we are going to move forward on faith knowing that our needs will be met.

 

As it stands right now, it looks like Dema will be here to visit starting August 14th and staying until the 29th.  We will bring him on our travels the week of the 23rd.
