I'm the mother of five. Edo is 12, Pudah is 9, Ladybug is 5, and The Man is 2 years old. Vi is 6 and just joined our family through adoption from Ukraine! We have all held down the fort while Daddy served two year long deployments. The first was in Afghanistan 2008 and second was in Iraq in 2010. We are going to hold down the fort again this year while Daddy is in Afghanistan on a Security Force Assistance and Advisory Team for 9 months. From teething to potty training to pre-teenhood, deployment to reintegration, and everything in between...there is never a dull moment in this house!

Robbed



I came home this afternoon with every intention of writing a blog post about my terrible visit to the Secretary of State's office.

But instead I found our home had been burglarized.

Someone came in the back door.

Went up to our master bedroom,.

Stole my laptop. 

Stole my husband's iPad (his post-deployment present) and his Nook our of his nightstand. 

Rifled arond in my nighstand.

Pulled belongings from my closet.

And stole our fire-proof document box out of my husband's office.

You know.  The one with all our social security cards.  And birth certificates.  And passports.  And every letter my dear, sweet husband wrote me over the course of two deployments.

And went right out the front door.  It was still wide open when I got home.

I have been crying for hours.  It will be a huge task to try and take care of monitoring our identities, and contacting all the various agencies to replace those precious documents.

But who is going to replace my peace of mind?

  7. Oh, dear, what a terrible thing to experience. How vulnerable, angry, and invaded you must feel... I've gone through similar things myself, but not while preparing for adoption. Might your social worker or facilitator have duplicates of some of the paperwork and documents? I do hope some of the papers turn up - as I posted on the RR forum, be sure to tip off your local trash collectors to be on the lookout. I wish there were something I could do from a distance to help reconstruct things for you...

  10. I'm a little behind on all of what is going on due to a crazy schedule recently. I jumped on hoping to see an update about the adoption situation but never expected to see THIS!!!
    I am so sorry! Our house was robbed shortly after my husband and I first got married. They stole our TV, laptops, some construction material (my husband was doing construction at the time) and two sprites. I was upset about the loss, especially as there were some documents and pictures on my laptop that I can never recover. I was even more upset about the loss of security I felt - they stole my peace of mind. That is something that is so difficult to deal with.
    I'm praying for you all and hope that your things (especially your lock box) gets returned!!!
