Arrivals

Today my friend Nancy is flying home to Houston with her new daughter from Eastern Europe! Its not the same country we are adopting from but its one of their neighbors, her precious 3 year old has been in an orphanage since she was a few weeks old because in her native country and many eastern european countries it is not socially acceptable to have a child with special needs. They believe the state can take better care of them in an orphanage than in a family, now this is not always the reason a child is placed in an orphange. Sometimes they actually are true orphans and not just social orphans, sometimes the child has medical needs the family cannot afford and they are hoping another family will step forward to adopt their child who can provide for those needs. The reasons dont matter what does matter is that a super cute little girl who happens to have an extra chromosome is coming home today to join her family! I feel honored to get to be there and witness their first few moments as a whole family! It makes me teary eyed just thinking about it and looking to the future when I will fly home with our two new kiddos and be greeted at the same airport I am going to today by friends and family! Speaking of we need some extra prayers, we have a paperwork issue that has come up and we need it resolved now. I cant say what it is right now but just pray for our process!!! Thanks, I'm off to get dressed and get the babies dressed to head to the airport!!!
