Halloween and Costumes

A family who is adopting and will also be carrying our documents will get to see their children files on Halloween.  I pray for them as they view their child's listing.  This Halloween they will hold in their hands a file that contains medical and their child's history.  Much like we will be also viewing in a few weeks or month away..  A year has passed and a few months also.  I think of Clyde often and I also think about Ellie and also Ronald.  Little Ellie's family has court on Thursday.  We choose Ellie but knew we could not make her by her 5th birthday, a friend of mine paper ready was so I released Ellie and prayed they would get to view her file.  I was able to see undated photos of Ellie.  She is precious, simply precious.  I see that she is going fit perfect in my friend's family.  Little Ronald still waits for a family to come for him and love him. I pray the perfect family for him.. I wished it could have been us but with Poppy's medical and Jake's medical it is difficult for us to carry or lift another child.  I can see him in our family crawling around.  He is a beautiful little boy.. The perfect son to have and love.

If all goes okay we will be see our children's file in early December and stay a few weeks to let them children get to know us.  This weekend we will be working on planning our trip more.  Trying to schedule for the kids and their care at home.  I can not openly post dates till we now something to share..  I will though once we have permission I can share photos and videos and some of their day to day lives.

Hard to understand why things through out our adoption was such a roller coaster of changes.  This adoption has got to have been the hardest with paperwork and the cost of paperwork. Much of our funds were tight up in documents and also updates.  Each update costed 300 or more to do.  Total for our Dossier has now topped to $16,000 of our savings to submit.  Again this took 2 years of savings.  We are blessed to have some funds in our FSP account with Reece's Rainbow but still we will be short for trip 2, our court trip.  Applying for grants and praying for a miracle for funds.

We have been budgeting and budgeting yet still it has been one thing after another.  And one delay after another.. Soon we will be pass the final stages and pray we are submitted first week of November. I will keep everyone posted on  where we stand in travel dates and submission...

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 ...

Butterflies

Even old people get butterflies. As our newest little 9 year old points at the ceiling and out comes her first words in English to me. Butterflies Momma, Butterflies... In the dead of winter with temperatures of 20 below I stare at the ceiling.  Not thinking I look up. In the spilt second in time my mind wonders.  Even in an orphanage a child can have humor and imagination.  Maybe being caught off guard or in the moment it makes a person think. On the outside of this old worn out building a few dying bushes.  And from the street it looks like any other old building. The caregivers and other children inside are the only family they had for years. This is the only place our children knew as home. I love spring and soon butterflies will fill the air.  Maybe the Windows will open and a few of these fragile flying angels  will fly inside.  For many of these children seeing a butterflies will be only through a panel of glass. This year marks 2...
