Animal Crackers for Two

Being blessed as a mother both by birth and adoption this has been the most rewarding time of my life. I've experienced infertility, miscarriages, still borns the death of a toddler this has been the hardest part if being a momma. I knew when I was very young I was going be a momma of many children.  Daily I dreamed of my children and caring for them.  If only it were like my dream of being a mother this easy.  Nothing good goes without struggling and plenty of prayers. This pass two years our lives were planning to adopt a young boy named Clyde.  I admired his photo daily.  Even dreamed about this child and our family shared his picture.  Behind this photo a child I never met but also grew to love.   Like many other families adopting we think about the children we visioned in our families. I learned his photo with a tear in his eye open our hearts up.  As time went on into our adoption months turned into over a year.  We waited fo...

This is not how I planned our last days before we leave to get the kids

Even when sick Jake is always happy. Leaving him last night was hard.  It took me three times of bye kisses before I lefted.  Trying to finish up things at home Gary stayed with Jake. Last night it was hard sleeping without him at home.  I kept waking thinking I heard him calling my name.  One if Jake's favorite words momma and dada. When I arrived at the hospital Jake was heading for his scope.  Once in recovery only to find out. He will be there another couple of nights.  Tonight we found out his GI Dr stated once again he is not be absorting calories and Jake is basically starving inside.  Jake has been on a feeding pump for years and enzymes have been changed repeatedly.   Some days Jake refuses to eat so he survives iff jis feeding tube feeds. I love my son ❤.  These pass 6 years it has been filled with giggles and smiles.  But also meds, therapy, chest compressions and endless Dr visits   I hate Cystic Fibrosis....

Leaving in a matter of days. I've haven't posted because I 've been ill.  My son Jake today admitted into LSU Oshcer's Hospital. This afternoon after running from my own Dr carrying Jake to be scoped. Praying that his is not cancer also. Jake has been battling Chronns disease and C.F..  He has been dealing with blockages and stomach pain.  Weight gain is slowly increasing. But he started throwing up again.  Praying his upper and lower tract is being freed from these painful uclers.   Tomorrow this scope will give us some answers.  My health also not as I wished.  So much to worry about. We are down to just days.   And praying Jake is out before I leave to travel.  He will be with his Daddy and loving siblings as we traveled.  Older siblings taking shifts to help Dad keep the boat/crew at home okay. Normally I focus on fundrausing but this week it was impossible.  Very soon it will be going on two years of paperwork, t...

The time is Getting closer.  Our matching grant us getting closer. Only $327 is needed to help us with the funds we need incountry. Once our FSP on Reeces Rainbow is reached we will receive and additional $900.00. :0) Praying that I wake on Mother's Day and we are there. So many fees this trip and the biggest expense is return airline tickets.....Please our family needs this boost in funds....

Presently we have a 900 mstching grant. Each dollar will be doubled once we reach $8304 in our FSP on Reece's Rainbow. You can also donate on the link attached to directly to our PAYPAL Account. Please help us bring these two children home.

At the moment we have a 900 dollar matching grant and need about 500 quickly to double the funds. Once this grant is met it will cover USCIS fees if $720 and $1000 for passports. ($1720)  AA grant 1800 leaving us 80 towards food. We have left remaining return airline tickets $3000, hotel fees 17 days $850, visa's $650 for both children and medicals $470 ($4970) I almist forgot food for 17 days and $850 ($5820) Doesn't sound like much but this adds up quickly

Today we started packing our luggage. Sage- now named Damien Greyson we started with his luggage first.  My grandson Christian helped chose and pack his clothing.  Adding in a couple of Lego sets. Barbara- Sophia the girls chose her clothing.  And added in some girly toys.  Hard to believe in just three weeks both kids will walk out their orphanage gates.

In just 3 weeks we will be traveling to start the process if bringing our children home.  It has taken nearly two years and many turns and twists. Two children will be traveling half way across the world.  And from no brothers or sisters to a large family to love them.  No longer will they go to bed in an orphanage but their own bed, new pillows and bedding.  A place they can close their eyes and wake not worrying about food, being cold or alone. A family who cherish and love them always. ❤

We were blessed with a $900 dollar Grant and I need your help. Every dollar donated we will receive a dollar. Today we received $150 and now need $750 as soon as possible. Once done this will give us in all $1800 to cover Passports, medicals on kids and Visas. God help us moved mountains through out our adoption and he will guide everyone in helping bring these two children home. So count down has begin... Every donation I will send you an Adoption Car Decal. Please I am begging for these funds to meet this grant...
