Will your name be included in the 300 that helped bring M&M home?

We are putting together this 300-piece puzzle for Malachi & Mercy's room. We will frame it between two pieces of glass so that you can also see the back. You see, the back is as important as the front. For every person that has contributed to helping bring Malachi & Mercy home, their name will be written on a piece of the puzzle. This puzzle will be a reminder of the hundreds of people that loved M&M before they even met them and helped to bring them home!

We still have pieces without names. Would you like to join us by contributing at least $1 to help bring M&M home?

You can donate your DOLLAR here.

Be blessed!

From "Just Waiting" to TURBO mode!!

Things have been a bit of a whirlwind around here since Sunday night. I got the call form my case worker on Sunday night that all my documents are in and my Lawyer is requesting an embassy date for me. WHAT?!?!?!? This was suppose to happen next month. WOW! So excited!!

No word was heard on Monday about the embassy date, but the day was spent putting together my binder. (A binder has all the legal details that the US embassy needs in order to issue visas. This is a MUST HAVE once you have all your documents from Africa and the US in order to bring your kiddos home.) Binders are almost done.

Monday also kicked off our first day of being the "featured family" for Give1Save1 - Africa. This allows people to share our story with total strangers who just have a heart for helping families adopt these precious orphans. Give1Save1 is going well and we are delighted with how far along we have come!

I was suppose to fly to Oklahoma City on Tuesday morning for a retreat, but with the move in dates to me traveling I felt like it would be best for my family for me to stay home.  On Tuesday, when I woke up to my husband telling me I was going to Africa, I was glad we had made that decision!

My Embassy date is now set. I sent a note to my boss and several others letting them know of these details. My boss called me and wanted to know if I needed anything. I told him how blessed I have already been by him and his family, so I just wanted him in the loop. He asked what my dates for travel were and all the city details. Well, that afternoon, I got the call from him that he had booked my entire international flight! BLESSED my socks off!

So, I will be flying out on the 26th and arriving in Africa on the 27th of September. My Embassy appointment is for the 1st of October. I will fly home on the 2nd and arrive back in Boise on the 3rd of October. We will wait for them to issue our visas. Once we have received word that this has happened, Paul and I will book our return trip. That return trip should be happening around the 11th or 12th if all goes "as planned." We know, of course, that ANYTHING can happen.

We are working to get everything completely in order for my first trip. You will be hearing more from us as much needs to be completed. God is doing some amazing things to bless us on this end. The enemy is also at work, but I know WHO wins!

Please pray for the many details that need to be taken care of, and I will let you know as there may be some things you can do to help out!  Thanks for caring and following us in this amazing story that God is writing!

More docs coming in!

 Tonight I got the email with our kids birth certificates! I know everyday there are things going on over in Africa, but sometimes it feels like we go weeks without any updates, so on nights like these, we celebrate! We wanted to include you in on our celebration as each day is truly one day closer to the day when we get to bring them home.

Our friends traveled to Africa this weekend and should be meeting their kids for the first time today. They will also probably be hugging our kiddos. Praying for them as the trip is a quick one and then they will come home to wait a few more weeks to actually bring them home. Praying for peace for them as they have to leave their precious children to come home and await documents. I know I will be in their shoes soon, but praying fo them now as it is their reality.

Last night I dreamed that M&M were home with us and we went shopping. The were amazing kids and I loved spending that little time with them, even thought it was only in my dreams. It will be my reality soon, I know. Praying for patience, but celebrating documents today!

Today has been a VERY emotional one.

We have had the delight of receiving several pictures and some videos of our precious children along with the other children whom they are in the orphanage with. Each time we see all the faces, we pray for them and give each child a piece of our heart.

One precious little girl grabbed our hearts as she was very malnourished. My daughter, Mallory age 10, fell in love with this little girl and eery time we would watch a video of the kids, she would ask us to pause it at the spot when this precious little girl would come on the screen.

We had the great privilege to meet this little girl's parents, as they were visiting family here in Boise. We met for coffee and they shared their story with us. They also showed us pictures of their sweet little children who are in the same orphanage as Malachi and Mercy! To our surprise, their little girl was this precious girl whom we had fallen in love with through video. The little boy they are adopting is her older brother. It was surreal to think that our kids are in Africa together right now. That we are on the same journey to bring our children home. 

Last week, our friends told us their little girl was in the hospital with malaria and typhoid. We called on friends and family to pray. Their little girl was fighting to live through the sicknesses.

Last night, their precious girl, Annalise, went home to be with Jesus. Our hearts are broken for them as they suffer the loss of one of their children. They are grieving right now, and we ask that you pray for them as they grieve the loss of their child! They now await the time when they can go and hold their son, Annalise's brother and comfort him. He has suffered another terrible loss in his little life. Please pray for him as he tries to understand all of this. Our hearts rejoice that Annalise is no longer suffering, but they are also broken by the fact that Annalise never got to be held by her loving parents. Thankful that she is now held in the arms of her loving Savior!

Please pray for the health and safety of each of the children in the orphanage. They do live in Africa and sickness abounds. Pray for their amazing caregivers who are loving on them and giving them the absolute best care that they possibly can give to them.

Re-purposing a Dresser for Malachi & Mercy

Feels like I am in my 7 month of pregnancy as I prepare for Malachi & Mercy to be home.

We are getting rooms ready and decided to re-purpose this old dresser into a bookshelf and hanging shelves. Made it more useful for a playroom.

Simply removed the drawers, flipped the tabs inside the shelves upside down, and then went to the hardware store and had them cut shelves to fit. We primed the shelves with spray primer and then painted them a metallic champagne color. We removed the tacked-on back of the dresser, chose some fun fabric and wrapped the tacked piece of the dresser with the fabric. Then I put the tacked piece back on the dresser. I bought some coordinating paper from a scrapbook store and then lined the drawers with the fun paper and hung them up. SUPER EASY, but FUN!

Can already envision Malachi and Mercy pulling books off these shelves for me to read to them.

EXCITED and thankful for the many who have joined us to help bring them home.
If you someone who loves orphans and would like to help us bring our precious children home,
check this out! Give at least $1, and then Share with your friends and family!

Hope you like the dresser concept, but even more so, I pray that you will join us in our adoption journey!

Dear friends, family, and those who don't know us, but also love orphans!

From Paul:

In 2003, our family left everything and moved to Boise, ID to start The Pursuit. We had no idea what God would do in and through us as we stepped forward in obedience. It appears that 2012 is going to be another defining step of faith for us.

Angela and I have always talked about "maybe adopting a child.” When I went to Uganda in March of this year, I went to two different orphanages. While visiting them, God made it clear that it was time for us to adopt and startled me when He said, "Don't stop at one."

Upon my return to Idaho, we met with a blessed family who has adopted from Africa, and we committed to adopting two children from the same place. On April 4, Angela and I walked into an adoption agency to begin the process. Then, on May 12, Angela received a call that a 3-year-old boy who could be our son had just arrived at the orphanage. On May 20, we received a call that a two-year-old girl had just arrived at the same orphanage. Their pictures grabbed our hearts, and we knew they were ours.


From Angela:

The journey since has not been easy. On June 16th, we received a call telling us that M&M were sick with malaria and typhoid and in the hospital. When your children are 8,423ish miles from you and you find out they have life-threatening illnesses, you are reminded of your complete dependence on God. We asked everyone to pray, and on June 21st, we got the call that all of the children in the orphanage had pulled through and were on meds and recovering.

What is it like to live in their city? Here is an excerpt from an article I found: “Violence is everywhere. Extreme deprivations due to the collapse of the formal economy and State institutions have created a underclass of demoralised and impoverished citizens. People there suffer from hunger. Children are starving from malnutrition or disease.”

Our children live in a orphanage with no running water or electricity. However, they are being fed and cared for medically by precious caregivers. We are so thankful to those who are laying down their lives for our children for this time.

We have learned that Mercy has a huge bright smile and is friendly with the other kids. Malachi appears very healthy and is fun too. They both loved the photo books we sent, and they enjoyed showing their friends their new family.

If we moved to Africa today, Malachi and Mercy would legally be Hatfields! We are so anxious to go pick them up and bring them home, but we have to wait for all the legal paperwork to go through before we can do this.


From our family:

We are so excited to bring these two beautiful children home. We have been so blessed by the love and support from our friends and church family. We want to give you the opportunity to join us in making a difference in the lives of these two orphans.

The first thing we would ask you to do is pray faithfully for Malachi and Mercy. Pray for their spiritual, emotional and physical health. Pray that they will already be attachinging to us as mom and dad through pictures and that God would be preparing them for the trip to the U.S. and their arrival in our home. Pray for our patience as we anticipate traveling there in October.


We also would like to ask those of you who are able to consider participating financially in what we are doing. The total cost of adopting them will be in excess of $30,000. We do not have the resources to bring them into our home without your help. We are blessed that Lifesong for Orphans has agreed to help us with the adoption by receiving donations which allows gifts to be tax-deductible* and has generously agreed to match the first $3,000 that is given by our friends and family through September 19th. Please do not use money for this that you had intended to give toward your local church.

By participating in this process, you will know forever that you were a part of changing the lives of these two orphans.

If you would like to participate by check, please write "preference Hatfield #3013 adoption" in the memo and send it no later than September 19th to:

Incredible videos and pictures

July 25, 2012

Cannot wait to share pics and videos with you, but cannot yet to keep my kiddos safe. But today, we received many pics a few videos. One video we got makes me cry every time I watch it. We sent a photo album to Malachi and Mercy, so they could "meet" us through pictures. The video shows them "meeting" us. To see them looking at our pictures and calling us mama and papa is overwhelming and the whole in our heart hurts. We are ready to bring them home today, but we will be patient. I will share this little picture with you. Know that this FUN hair is atop the head of a sweet and spunky girl! We learned of her sweetness through the same precious friend who took the pictures. Cannot wait to meet our special kids!

Home Study COMPLETE!

July 3, 2012

We rushed and hurried and did everything we could to make sure our home study got completed before we left for vacay. Many hurdles and obstacles in the process to make this happen, but we got it done and in the mail!

So thankful!

Legally ours!

July 24, 2012

We received 9 documents all in French, but the gist of these documents was to tell us that if we moved to Africa today, Mercy and Malachi would be Hatfields!

An M&M party has ensued!

Yes the wait is long....

On Tuesday night, May 22nd, we got the call that there is a little 2  year-old girl for us to consider to adopt. We got her picture that night, shared it with our kids and began praying and falling in love. Tonight we got the email allowing us to decide if we would like to proceed with adopting this precious little girl.

We said, "YES!"

Mercy will be joining our family!

Now we pray for our kids in Africa with their faces on our phones, as the wallpaper on our computers, and etched in our minds! Our hearts are overflowing with love for Malachi and Mercy. Our kids are beside themselves with joy! God's plan is perfect and His timing amazing! Tonight, I sat across the room from a sweet friend who is expecting and should have her baby any day now. At that moment, I realized that although the wait until we can bring them home is seemingly long, I believe we will have them home in less time than going through pregnancy. It will be so soon!

CANNOT WAIT FOR YOU TO MEET MERCY!

UPDATE on M&M

June 21, 2012

We had been trusting that "no news is good news." But today God gave us the great gift of good news!

This morning we received word on our kids. "They are still on meds. They are recovering." They did, in fact, contract typhoid and malaria and are being treated for both. I asked if all the children are recovering and we have been told that they are all recovering. Waiting to hear if they are still in the hospital or if they are recovering enough that they could go back to the orphanage.

God is the great Healer and your prayers are being heard and answered! Thank you!! Please continue to pray!

Total and complete trust in God for Mercy and Malachi’s lives

June 20, 2012

As many of you know, last Saturday we got a call from our lawyer with news about Mercy and Malachi. What many of you do not know is that getting any news or update from Africa is usually a bad thing. They do not call to "check-in" and say that everything is going good. They only call when things are bad. She told us that for the pastor who is caring for our children to figure out a way to contact her from the hospital means that their condition is very bad. We were told that many of the children in the orphanage had been taken to the hospital and are being treated for malaria and typhoid, and that our precious children were at the hospital.

Emotions. Wow! I have not been able to really write this out as we have been all over the board with our emotions. We know that our lives and the lives of everyone around us rest in the hands of the One who created us, but this was the first time that we had been this closely tested in truly believing that. In all honesty, knowing how or what we should feel has been impossible. We are overwhelmed with sadness to not be there with our children. My husband, being as amazing as he is, asked me if he should book me a flight over there. Everything in me wanted to go, but I do not believe that was the best course of action. The best course of action is to PRAY! We immediately posted on facebook to let as many as possible know what was happening, so prayers would surround the delicate lives of our precious kiddos. (Thank you to all of you who are faithfully praying for them!) We talked to God. We shed many tears. We took Sunday off from The Pursuit. God is entrusting M&M to our care, but He reminds us that He is still their Healer and Provider.

In the amazing picture I have of Mercy in Africa, I can see a portion of the home where our kids are living, and I have painted out this room completely in my mind. They are safe, cared for, and loved in my mind. They are protected by the precious family who is caring for them. But in reality, they are in danger of sickness and harm. I just wanted the pretty painted picture in my head to be true. I truly had not prepared for this.

God spoke to me over the past few days, and reminded me that the 3 children I have here in my "safe pretty" home in Idaho are also in danger of sickness and harm. We paint these pretty pictures and put the people we love in them. In these settings our friends, family, and loved ones are safe, but in reality, God is the One painting the picture and sees exactly what that picture is suppose to look like. What my perception of "safe and pretty" looks like may very well be way off from what He is painting.

He has used this as a way to renew my total and complete trust in Him! I must hold on to everything and everyone loosely. He is the Creator and the One who sustains. My prayer is that He will sustain our sweet M&M and allow us to bring them to Idaho to their "safe pretty" picture here. We want to be able to hold them and love them through whatever God allows in their lives and ours!

The most difficult thing has definitely been not being there with them, physically. My kind friend, Kim, texted me and encouraged me with this, "The Mama of the orphanage is so amazing when the kids are in the hospital. She stays there with them. Plus, I think she worries over them as much as we do. Also, they are so much better at treating those illnesses over there." God is there holding them in His hands. To be reminded that those who are caring for my children now are people who love them, was such an incredible encouragement! One day I will put the bandaids on their scraped knees, and hold them when they cry, but for now, I am reminded that they are in the most gentle, loving, and healing hands of all - The Healer is holding them.

Thank you again for praying! We do not have any updates at this point. We are not sure what to think of that at this point. We feel like it has been long enough that maybe things are improving, and since they don't call when things are going good, it's a good thing that we have not heard. On the other hand, when the phone does ring, we will be bracing ourselves for any type of news. Please continue to pray for the safety of our children! Please pray for our patience and continued trust in Jesus as we wait to bring these precious ones home. We are thankful for each of you as you hold us all up through this time!

Know that as soon as we KNOW anything, we will post an update! Be blessed!

He's a healthy BOY and he's 93cm tall and 32lbs!

It is amazing to be sitting here tonight catching up on some emails and receive the email with the evaluation on Malachi.

We now have Malachi's height, weight, foot length, head circumference, and that he has 20 teeth. We know that he is as healthy as they come. According to his eval, he doesn't have a fever or even diarrhea!

I am smiling from ear to ear and dreaming of our precious boy coming home! So excited to be the ones to celebrate losing that first tooth. We will hold him when he does get sick. We will have the opportunity to buy him his first baseball cap that will fit his beautiful head, and shoes that will cover and protect his feet. So thankful for those pink crocs that he has to wear while he is in Africa, but I am so excited to buy him a pair of shoes that are intended JUST for his precious feet!

Praising God for his healthy evaluation and wanted to share it with you all!

Going to sleep tonight and dreaming of days to come -with Malachi close enough to hold!

Good night.

(A part of his eval for you to enjoy - IN FRENCH, of course....)

A Bit of History on our Decision to Adopt

The question has arisen, "why are you adopting, and when did you make this decision?"

When we were engaged and talking about our future together and our desires for having kids, we always dreamed of adopting.

In our little minds THIS was how it would all work... We would have 2 kids really close together (possibly twins) wait til those two went to school, and then have 2 more closer together. Then we would adopt a child.

In God's plan THIS is how it rolled out.... We had Meghan in August of 2001, and Mallory came 13 months later in September of 2002. Micah came a little earlier than expected. He joined us in December of 2005. We decided at that point we liked having three biological kids and would plan to adopt once all 3 were in school.

Paul and I read a book called Too Small to Ignore, http://www.toosmalltoignore.com/ that changed our life perspective. And then in October of 2010 Paul preached a sermon called "No More Gentiles" http://phpws.bighead.net/pursuit/iTunesRSS.php and on October 17th we knew we needed to adopt a child. October 17th is what we call our Adoption Day. We met with our friends, Scott and Darcy Pentzer to ask questions and find out more. You have to see these clips of their story: Part 1 https://vimeo.com/15927436 Part 2 https://vimeo.com/31261072.

When Scott and Darcy were in Africa to pick-up their kiddos, they met a girl named Precious and sent us an email. They said they knew we were wanting to adopt a little boy, but wondered if we would consider this 18 month girl, Precious. We prayed about it and talked to our kids and decided we were open to this. The next day, they sent us an email saying the plot had thickened. Precious has a twin brother. We had always wanted twins. At this point God stretched/softened our heart to the idea of adopting 2. Making this long story a bit shorter, Precious and her brother are considered unadoptable (they have family to care for them and are not true orphans). BUT God used them to open our hearts to adopting 2.

Life got crazy and in December of 2010 and at that time I went into a depression. If you do not know this story, you can watch it here - http://thepursuit.org/message.html. We praise God for my depression and the healing process and know that God allowed that in our lives to prepare us for our adoption journey.

We spent the next year healing and then in March of 2012 Paul had the opportunity to go to Uganda. God clearly told him that it was time to adopt and that we could not just stop with adopting just one child. Paul visited 3 orphanages. He felt like he could bring any of those kids home, but The Pursuit is working towards empowering the Kampala community to have an impact in Uganda. At this point, we want to support Ugandan families to have the ability to adopt and feel like there is hope there for the orphans.

So why the city we chose in Africa? Simply stated, we are called to adopt from this city. When God calls we follow. He called us to Boise - Why Boise? His plan is perfect and we have seen the evidence of that over the past 8 years. He is calling us to adopt from Africa and know that we will continue to see evidence of His perfect plan for us in this as well.

We are reading, podcasting, meeting with adoptive families, and learning everything we can about adoption as we wait to hold our kids.

Loving the journey....

The Call That Changed Our Lives!

May 12th

We had our 6-hour Adoption Training Class and during the last hour of this class my phone rang.

I saw the name "Jilma." I jumped up and ran outside to take the call. What she said changed our world!

"I have a 3-year old little guy. Would you like me to send you his picture?"

As the tears came, my heart was overflowing with joy as I realized the path we had begun to walk was not just a path anymore, but the beginning of an incredible journey! Overwhelmed by the amazing fact that our son's picture would soon be coming to my cell phone. Listening to the rest of the class that last hour was a little difficult as our hearts were filling up with knowing that our boy was identified and we were about to see him.

We told the class about the phone call, and they all wanted to see our boy's precious face. We told them we were sorry, but we wanted to share his face with Meghan, Mallory, and Micah first. They understood.

The class ended, and we were OUT the door. Paul wanted to park somewhere where we would remember the very first place we saw our son's face. I didn't want to wait any longer, so the Sonic parking lot on Ustick was it the place.

We both held our breath as the photo downloaded to my phone...and then we saw his face. Our precious boy.

We called Jilma to tell her how excited we were! She was so excited for us and let us know that he was in fact a true orphan. Our precious boy did not have living parents in Africa to care for him. God's plan was for us to love him and for him to become a apart of our family.

Micah got to "meet" Malachi first. We picked him up from his friend's house and showed him Malachi's picture. He yelled with delight,
"My little brother!!"

Meghan met Malachi next, when she got home, Paul showed her his phone. She squealed with delight, grabbed the phone and hugged it while spinning around the room with amazing joy! It was love at first sight!

Mallory saw Malachi when she got home later that evening. She jumped up and down as she realized that she was "getting another brother!" AND now she knows what he looks like.

Extreme joy is the best way to express the state of the Hatfield home! Still praying for our precious daughter whom we cannot wait to see.

You will often find Paul or me just staring at his picture as we pray for him.
  

CAN'T WAIT FOR MANY OF YOU TO MEET MALACHI!

Paperwork, OFA, and People We Love Who Have a Passion for Adoption

Those of you who are familiar with adoption understand the amount of paperwork that comes with this process. I had been warned, but not sure that I truly understood. Now I do....

As I am getting paperwork going, I want to make sure that you are all included in the details of what is happening. These first few posts were typed quickly to catch everyone up to where we are now. Please excuse any mistakes. I will figure this out more and more as I figure out the blogging world.

On April 7th, we were blessed enough to be accepted by an amazing attorney named Jilma. She is an amazing woman with a heart for Africa. She helps family adopt in her "spare" time. Many ask, but not everyone gets to work with her. This was an open door and an answer to prayer!

On April 12th, we met with some friends from The Pursuit who are considering adding to their family through adoption. It was incredible to have the opportunity to chat with them and "bump" into an adoptive family from The Pursuit at Q'doba. They shared wisdom with us as we were finishing our lunch.

On April 14th, the Rutland family blessed us with a yummy dinner and an even more amazing time of encouragement and wisdom. Kim and Jeff adopted 2 from Africa this past year, and their hearts are huge enough to adopt an additional 14 kids, but instead they are focusing their time and energy in helping others with their paperwork to adopt. Including me! I have NO idea where I would be right now without Kim. She is a pro and helps me keep my sanity through the stacks of paperwork. BLESSED by the Rutlands!

The Herdegens are another Pursuit family who have a passion for adoption. The experience and wisdom that we were given on the 5th of May gave us even more confidence as we move forward in this journey. Tarah's huge heart and even bigger amount of humor is going to be a source of sanity in the future, I am SURE of it! She just sent me a facebook post that I am sure I will re-post in the near future. She is a wealth of wisdom!!! If you are considering adoption, reach out to others that have gone before you. They are amazing at giving you a great reality check!

On May 9th, I got to have lunch with a sweet new friend, Allison who adopted 2 from Ethiopia growing her clan to 5 amazing kids! I loved sitting with her and hearing her story. She was SO real with me and imparted incredible amounts of reality. She did NOT try to sugar coat things just shared her heart.

On the 10th of May we did our online orientation webinar, and on the 12th of May we attended our Adoption training class through A New Beginnning.

Walked through the agency's doors.

On April 4, 2012 we walked into the adoption agency to make this journey even more real.

Switching blogs.

Created a blog, but realized I should have started here, so I am switching. I will catch all of you up-to-date as quickly as possible. Don't pay attention to posting dates for the timeline, but the dates that I type in the post. Thanks for joining us on this amazing journey!
