Our family has been through different chapters, spending years apart. Now, we're all together in Uganda, actively working towards the challenging process of permanently reuniting our family through adoption and the UK visa process. Join us on our journey as we share raw, real content of our everyday lives, experiences of being a cross-cultural family, navigating international adoption, surviving a long distance relationship and our charity work.

    Honestly whenever I’m having a bad day, when I watch these videos I found them so comforting. Also I didn’t realise how oddly satisfying it is to do a “packing haul”. I’m really pleased that the other kids also get to experience the UK in some way even though they were not able to come with you and Adam ❤

The children will be so excited with all their special gifts, and coloring books, and Tallie will be an envy to all her little friends with beautiful dolls! :) Have fun packing, and enjoy every moment with the family. I've been thinking of Josh, and I hope he gets the care and treatment he needs. Lots of love to the whole family, in England and Africa.

    Hi Emily. We live in Kampala and we just did home leave in the UK this summer, there's 5 of us and we just had 10 suitcases plus hand luggage! Filled to the brim and maxed out on weight limit! I took everything out of its packaging and small bits we put in the plastic reusable fruit/veg bags from the supermarket, I think they're 30p, they weigh very little and then I use them when buying at the market. We even brought back a steam cleaner! US friends take plastic "bins" because they weigh less than suitcases but then you would need to buy them! Hope you work out a solution. I wanted to suggest something for your wish list- Kilo scrubby plus, they are cotton cleaning/washing up cloth, last so much longer than the yellow/green sponges. It you fancy some I'd love to buy you some. Love Steph

    Hi! You may have considered this already but it may be useful to pack barrels when you’re next in the uk. You can then pack lots more and get them shipped over. You may have explored this option already and I’m not sure if this possible in Uganda (or maybe how difficult it may be to do so)! Hope you both have a safe journey back home!

    Aww, that Elsa doll was so pretty..Tali will love it! It's big enough on its own without the box!
    She has some lovely gifts.
    I am thinking, is there a way you can flatten the box and carry it?
    The plastic cover may make it hard. Perhaps remove that part only? Then flatten the cardboard part. The good thing is the box protects the doll. Maybe you can pack some small soft things into the box too,utilise the space that way?
    I just realised that the issue is also WEIGHT,so in that case my suggestions are probably redunadant..lol.
    How is JOSH??
    I know you have been extremely busy,but I suggest again that for that raffle, you do a vlog on it.
    I got an email alerting me,which is great. But thats only going to old subscribers who also purchased tickets then. It won't reach those that didn't buy or any new subscribers. Just my thoughts.
    I think I asked before,but what about packing a box/ crate and shipping them all out? I guess its more costly?

But sadly I know it's not the reality and this family is split because of Uganda and UK laws and times in adoption and stupid paperwork that only makes this family waste all their money but also go through all of this as if that kids didn't have a rough start in life!
      Give me a break with "UK" because in this moment is not helping Emily with her situation so she is not the one choosing where to be she's choosing who:HER CHILDREN AND HUSBAND.

      What about the other 3 kids and Josh. Do you guys want to rip this family apart?.
