Thankfully, despite all of my anxiety and frustration, God is still there and still in control. The good news is that we've been re-awarded the grant that we'd gotten nearly four years ago and were not able to use. This was a matching grant that a lot of our friends and family generously donated to, so it is reassuring to know that God always had plans for those funds.
About Me
- Rachelle D Alspaugh
- I've been married to my husband, Michael, for almost 25 years. I'm a mom to a biological son and an adopted son from Colombia, and I'm also a spiritual mom to my adopted son's older brother, who I claim as a son in my heart. I'm bilingual and love to work with and relate to Spanish-speaking children and families. I've been a teacher to students from all sorts of backgrounds and cultures for the last 20+ years. I'm also an author and a certified Biblical counselor. I'm in a new empty nest season in a new location far from where I raised my boys, so I'm definitely in a stage of rediscovering myself, my interests, and my purpose.

Pressure's back on
It looks like that smooth ride to the finish line of this crazy adoption attempt isn't going to happen after all. I guess I spoke too soon. The pressure is definitely on as these last two documents are taking way too long and we're facing more deadlines. I'm frustrated, discouraged, anxious, and just absolutely exhausted. It's complicated and too hard to explain, so I'm not even going to try. I wouldn't wish what we've gone through in this adoption process on anyone. All I can say is this......I AM SO TIRED.
