I'm suppose to be the one

Rough day here.   My grand daughter Mileena in the Philippines had to have a blood transfusion.  I wished I could have been there and be there to take turns caring for her in the hospital.  Children get sick easily and even the best of parents can not prevent an illness like this.

Today Jake hasn't felt to well.  Scares me... What would I do without my son?  He wakes me with his smiles daily.  Even after throwing up during the night he smiles.  Nightly on my knees I pray for my children.

Losing a child is difficult.  OurbGennie Jake's younger sister died from Cystic Fibrosis.  One day she was full of giggles the next day she collapsed in my arms.

While visiting Barbara-new name Sophia we met our newest son.   On RR they called him Sage and his new name he chose was Damien.  We added Greyson for a middle name and he will go by Greyson.   Greyson was in one of her classes.  He was in the back of a room away from other children.  Due to him getting sick easily he stayed his distance.  His eyes were always facing downwards.  Very little eye contact.  When we ask to meet him and get his referral we learned this child had a rough start.  Born in prison as his birth mom was serving time.  After being released she found out he was ill and she lefted him.  She just handed him over and walked away.  For years he told his friends his mother was returning for him.  Quickly the years passed. He had lost both kidneys but our Lord blessed him with a donor kidney.  This boy needed a mother and also a father.  The day I looked in his eyes he was meant to be our son.  No walking away...

Hard part about life when you try your hardest sometimes bad things happen.  While preparing for court the worse news ever being told over a phone that I was diagnosed with Cancer.   Not the news I wanted to hear.  I need immediate surgery and treatment.  But no turning back now.  Two years I worked on our adoption. Many set backs and mountains I've climbed to turn around.

Today I now am fighting to live not just for me but for me to live to raise our children.  I will not allow this boy to be an orphan again.  I will fight for my children and win. 

I want to be there to hold my children should they get sick or need a mom to talk to.  Soon we will travel to pick them up. Please pray I stay well during this trip.  Pray they stay well and we get all the medical and surgeries they also need.  We are blessed God will guide us over this mountain. And once home guide me through this illnesd.

 During this adoption this is the biggest mountain ever...
Please advocate for all children waiting for families..
Please pray for each and every adopting family as they struggle through the paperwork and mountains. ❤

Father's Day

With everything happening I did not know what day it was. Whether it was Saturday or Sunday.  Sitting calculating funds and mark off the day till Wednesday. The day we find out about our children's passports. Our Gotcha Day was rushed.  What was suppose to start with paperwork on a Monday went to Wednesday which caused us delays getting home. The system here is totally a mess. They deliver passports only one day a week to Donetsk.  Then they will be forwarded to Kiev.  Even expedited they are delayed.  A country of unexpected issues or problems.  Children lay dying when families are available.  Funds stand in the way even when a family saves for 5 years still they are short.  Without the love and support of others. Being short of funds not just my biggest worries.  Children at home needing their mom.  A young boy who had been through so much anger and abuse.  Eleven years to work on.  Erasing the nightmares of prior medica...

No words

There are just some days where there are no words that can  take away from pain and heart ache. This pass week we were robbed, our precious cat got ill, once again funds lost.  Still we are blessed.  A neighbor is killed by two young man breaking into a neighbors car, a man loses his girlfriend and his unborn son a day before his child is delivered.  My friend's baby girl has open heart surgery and she waits outside the recovery room, a baby boy takes his last breathe and my son struggles to live another day. Very hard to understand why bad things happen to good people and little children.  A 14 year old girl with a headache dies within three days of being diagnose with a rare form of cancer.  Her mother struggles to understand why her daughter had to be chosen to earn her wings.  So much potential, and such a beautiful young woman with the kindest heart.  Today I watched as my 5 year old daughter looks into a mirror and then ask if her doctor ...

UPDATE ON OUR JOURNEY

What a day, after a long night drive to get our fingerprints done.   And six hours in a car with your hubby gives you plenty of time to catch up talking about things that we need to be completed before we travel.  We had stopped for a while to get some diner and as we went to check out the man sitting behind us had paid for our dinner.  The odd thing he never said anything to us, he only kept waving at Jake and smiling.  Jake is JAKE, you don't even have to know him without falling in love with him.  Jake is non-verbal but always smiling and giggling.  Our family is so proud of Jake he is a fighter.  Jake 5 years ago weighed under 15 pounds at age 5 and a half years.  Now barely weighting 48 pounds and turning 10 march 1st.  A child we were told would died within six months after adopting sits smiling and laughing.  Daily he struggles with his Cystic Fibrosis.  Jake's major issues are his digestive system where he can not absorb the...
