UPDATES are here!!!!



We have good news and not so good news...... Updates of our daughter came, and new pictures (soon we sould be able to share them) she's such a smiler :)! and her hair is growing alittle. She has gained weight, probably because they eat all carbs ( pasta, rice, macaroni and enjera bread). She is learnig to trace letters and numbers, and has memorized some of the alphabet. She plays with dolls and likes to hug and give kisses:) We asked how she feels about being adopted and this was her answer; She is excited, she asks when her family is coming. I lost it there. It's been quite a journey and still isn't over. There are still hurdles.....but we're going to make it! With God beside us we are going to bring our little girl home!

Now for the not so good news ( a hurdle). They had her retested for Hep.B, because of the postive then negative, and she tested "positive". She is definetly our daughter so now it's "What next". What do we need to do?..... Well we took labs to the Dr. here to get recommendations and we will have to amend our home study AGIAN....It will need to say special needs. She is our daughter, no matter how God had to get her to us. You see she would have never been referred to us if her Hep.B wouldn't have come back negative. Our home study said "healthy", so they couldn't have referred her to us because she is considered special needs. But God got her to us, because He has had her for us along. So we'll take this hurdle one at a time with God's help. We would appericate prayer to heal her little body and strength to do what needs to be done. Blessings until next time.
