A Funny Story

A little funny story about Anna Li (Mary Katherine)...
She gave me a call last night
and during our conversation she began to tell me about some of the music she likes.
She asked me to hold on
and the phone goes silent.
I wait, and wait then decide to hang up since it was long distance.
She calls me right back and says,
"Did you not like the music?"
I told her I didn't hear any music!
Silly girl goes,
"Ohhhh, I thought you were enjoying the music!"
She then begins to sing it to me since I could not hear it through her I-pod.
Another day,
She calls and ask me,
"So, how is your social life?"
I died laughing.
"Where did you learn that, girl!?!?!"
She replies,
"Oh, I listen very carefully!"
She is such a hoot!
God Bless her family
for allowing us to be part of her life!

    Kristy,
    I'm sure you find a little peace in knowing that Anna Li is growing so much in so many ways. So glad you are able to talk to her. Praying that it gives you peace.

A Season of Change

So today is the day that I share with the rest of the world the changes going on in our family. I know it may be hard for some to understand and not all will agree, but I know in my heart that we are doing what is right no matter how difficult it may be. Anna Li will be leaving our home and joining her new family very soon. It was a very difficult and agonizing decision for us but it was a decision made with Anna Li and not for Anna Li. We love Anna Li with all of our being, and she loves us as well. We have made lots of progress over the past year. It seems as each day goes by we get closer and closer to each other. With that said, there is still a huge emptiness in Anna Li's heart. She misses her country, her culture, the food, and the people. Living in small town America limits the opportunities we can give to Anna Li. I choose not to talk about the difficulties we have faced in our small town, but you should know that there have been many. Through the adoption community,

Ella Ruth Gray February 2, 2011 5:37 am On February 2nd, 2011 I went for my 4 month prenatal check-up.  I was looking forward to hearing my child's heartbeat. I was out of the 1st trimester and felt like  I was out of the danger zone... There was no heartbeat.. the sonogram confirmed it.. We had lost our baby a few days shy of 16 weeks. I was admitted to the hospital, labor was induced and I gave birth to my little girl at 5:37am.  She was tiny... only 2 oz and 6 inches long.   Tiny little feet... Tiny little hands... We held her in a little pink blanket  handmade by Threads of Love. Ella Ruth is her name. (Ruth after my grandmother) Only the Lord knows why... why my baby girl had to die. I pray that through our loss His name will be glorified! In memory of  Ella Ruth Gray we would like each of you  to consider making a donation to  Love Without Boundaries We would like donations to go to "Mighty" Marisol in memory of  Ella Ruth Gray You can learn more about

Disruption.. never an easy choice

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/eu_russia_adopted_boy Heartbreaking!! Just heartbreaking! As a mother who has disrupted her adoption I feel that I need to speak out. First and foremost, I 100% disagree with what this woman has done. Unfortunately, disruption happens... more than most realize. It is one of the most painful agonizing decisions that any parent could ever have to make. It is not something you go into lightly, but when you enter into that decision, there is a legal way to go about it. Shipping a child back to their country ALONE with a note is cold-hearted and completely unacceptable. I can see where the outrage is coming from! However, I feel that when a person's emotions are high she may tend to say things without completely thinking them through. So, I just want to take a minute to try to help you understand that disruption isn't always a bad word. DID YOU NOT EDUCATE YOUR SELF? Well, of course we did! We went to every class there was. We watched the videos. We talke
