Adoption Update

I have to share out my excitement today. Our Dossier is headed to Eastern Europe and should be in the hands of adoption foundation by Wednesday this week. We have been moved over to the "Almost There" category on Reece's Rainbow which makes this even more real!! We will be waiting for our offical referral from Eastern Europe which takes awhile, I'd say 4-10 weeks. Then we will be cleared for travel to go visit him! After visiting with him for a week we will come home and wait for approval in the EE court and then go and pick him up. We are hoping to have him home in the Fall this year. HAPPY DANCE, HAPPY DANCE.... Feel free to donate to our cause, we are still working on fundraising.

STUCK - Trailer


STUCK TRAILER from Both Ends Burning Campaign on Vimeo.
STUCK is a new award-winning documentary film, produced by Both Ends Burning that uncovers the personal, real-life stories of children and parents navigating a rollercoaster of bureaucracy on their journeys through the international adoption system, each filled with hope, elation – and sometimes heartbreak.

STUCK steps into the complex human experience of adoption, exploring the challenges faced by birth parents, prospective adoptive parents – and children.

The film follows Tihun from Ethiopia, Nate from Vietnam, and Erickson and Therline from Haiti on their individual voyages from orphanages in their native countries to their homes with families in the United States. Filmmaker Thaddaeus Scheel tracks the chapters in the lives of these four children, and the three couples seeking to be their parents, revealing along the way the intense hope and disappointment they experience on the odyssey to unite as families. Some stories are heartwarming, showing incredible examples of kids who blossom after joining their families, while others offer insight into the emotional and physical impact institutional life can have on these kids.
