Everything is going great;)

I am not blogging much, but just wanted to let everyone know things are going so good! We are enjoying our family and love watching the girls grow and change befoe our eyes. We're looking forward to taking Sarah to NY this month for her eye surgery with the hope of her getting a great deal of sight from it! She is doing great in every way, just still dealing with the affects of scabies...evidently it is deep in her system and she has biweekly outbreaks on her hands and feet. She has gone to the dermatologist several times and at thsi point is on a stron steroid cream that seems to make her comfortable as soon as it is put on her. there is a medication she could go on but there are many side afects that we are not comfortable with including invovlement of the red blood cells! Scary stuff! so please pray that God will touch her and heal her of this.

Selah continues to just grow and her understanding level just amazes us! although she really isn't talking, she seems to understand much of what we say! Pretty amamzing since she has never been exposed to English before us!

The boys are doing great, everyone is enjoying summer and just being together.

My heart is filled with thankfulness to God for all my children, what great gifts I have been given!!!

Last night I was sitting on the floor of the little ones's room,holding Sarah. listening to a Praise Baby DVD about the wonders of God...and knowing I had one of his little wonders safe in my arms! During the adoption process, so many times I was afraid I would never get to hold her...but now I do:) On the floor, toys were all around, including a ball that has the globe on it, I looked and found Chengdu China ( where Shad is from) and Doneskt Ukraine (near where the girls were) and then looked at Florida and thought of how my kids came from all over the world to us....how blessed we are!!!!!

  2. hi yvonne-
    this is the first time i've been to your blog and your story of sarah and selah has brought great encouragement to my heart. my husband and i are praying about a child that is on the RR site. he is named 'brent' there. i really do not know if God wants us to adopt brent or not, but we want to be faithful to learn more. when i inquired if anyone knew anything about his orphanage situation, one of the RR ladies referred me to your blog. if you are willing and have time, would you mind emailing me so that i could ask you some questions. perhaps you even know of brent? i am just trying to get a better picture of what his situation is, etc. we would be *tremendously* grateful for any info about this particular institution or even just about adopting institutionalized children, etc. we just have no info and don't know anyone who's done this.
    if you are able- my email is haleyuf@hotmail.com.
    oh, and we are in florida, too!
    grace and peace,
    haley
