Tonya has a family !!! other sweeties, & disruption

sweet LUCY IS FROM MEXICO AND VERY WELL CARED FOR :) Not the best photo but man is she a cutie :)
SWEET MAX IS BEAUTIFUL !

LITTLE BARBARA :) IS JUST A BITTY


LOOK AT SWEET DAVID. HE LOOKS SO SWEET :)




HOW CUTE IS THIS LITTLE CHEEKY GIRL :)








These little sweeties still do not have ANY pledges for the "christmas angel tree"






Could you be a sponsor? A little bit adds up and WILL save a childs life.Literally. This is NOT a play on words. It is fact. 80% of children transferred to INSTITUTIONS, WILL DIE IN THE FIRST YEAR. That is 8 out of 10 children (see I can do math :) 4 and 5 yr olds...they are just babies who need mommies. Be it lack of staff, health care, or simply love and human interaction...the end is still the same. We ,in the adoption community are an amazing bunch of folks. GOD has called us to do things others would not even think about. We follow the whisper of the LORD in our hearts. We can make a difference.




~I have heard of a beautiful 8 yr old Ethiopian little girl who was adopted into the states but is not adjusting. She is not violent at all but can be sullen and defiant, she is struggling to adjust. This would be a private adoption. If you know any one interested , shoot me an email and I will send you the info :)



~I am so happy to report sweet Tonya has a family that has commited to adopt her !!!


Praise God. This beautiful girl is going to THRIVE in a family :):) IF I hear who her new family is , and they have a blog I will let ya'll know.



I know so many folks were dreaming of adopting her, and to not be able to , for different reasons is hard. It hurts. But you never know what God has planned for you and your family ;)
My little cuties are doing good. We had a Christmas concert for Bug at church. She had a small speaking and singing solo :) She also has a dance recital coming up at a nursing home with her dance studio, which should be fun.
My little baby girl is starting to sleep a bit better...waking 2 times a night vs 3-5 ;)
so we are getting there. I cant bear to let her cry so this mama is up :)
~The turd who stole my sons christmas decorations FINALLY got arrested last night for domestic violence for breaking his step-dads nose (eek) ! So happy to see him head off with the nice police man :)
Thats it~
Happy Thursday :) :)
