In our midst, He is MOVING.
The shutdown that is set to start July 11th in the country we wish to adopt from will not affect our adoption afterall. Children with approved special needs per the law over there can still be adopted right now. YAY!!!

The face I will never forget
Today in the Reece's Rainbow community we learned of another angel who grew his wings and went home to his forever family. That child was Warner.
He was "on hold" for his family...yet he never knew their love.
This next child. NEEDS HIS FAMILY NOW...I've been waiting too long to post for him. The time is now. Period.
This is the boy I will never forget. I pledge to do all I can to help find this 6 year old boy named Sasha his forever home. I pray that he does not live out the rest of his days in the institution--a place where NO one, let alone a fragile child belongs.
My own adoption story is what brought me to Sasha. I've learned so much throughout our journey. What I have come to realize and hold true is this, God loves these children more than I can possibly imagine. God is with them even in the stifling confines of the institution.
Why does he need to suffer so? I have no answer for that. Why hasn't a family snatched him up and taken him away? I have no answer for that. Will his family ever come forward? I have no answer for that but I pray they do. And if they don't? My heart bleeds for Sasha and may God be with him and love him so.
I am not done championing for him. I will focus on Sasha and finding him his forever family and if he goes to heaven before having a family hear on Earth, I will grieve his loss and rejoice in that blessing.
Please, if you are his momma come forward--he cannot wait. If you know his momma--tell her, he cannot wait. If you have compassion in your heart for "the least of these"...scream Sasha's story from every outlet you have. You see, I owe it to him. He is the reason I found Alexander. God used this precious angel Sasha to show me Alexander.
I am blessed to weep for Sasha. I am blessed with the burden of sharing his story. Please help Sasha. Please---he cannot wait.

The first birthday party Jared ever celebrated in this house was his 4th birthday...just two days ago, we had a party, a 4th birthday party for the twins. I cannot believe we have been here for 5 years. The good times in this house, I am so blessed to have experienced. God has been to good to me and my family, even we I did not deserve His favor. That's just it, God is good. GOOD ALL THE TIME.

ROCK ON!!!!!!!!!
The party is in FULL SWING NOW!!! LOL
The twins celebrated their 4th birthday today. We had a nice, quick party with Nana, Papaw, Aunt Banana, Cliffus, The Doober, Boog and Nae (how's that for a motley crew?). Grandma Diane and Grandpa Terry came a bit later. They enjoyed cake made by mommy and homemade ice cream made by mommy too!!
Got some new books, some great Cars stuff, and of course new Thomas the Tank Engine stuff too. Then we took the boys for their FIRST ever Fireworks show. They enjoyed them. Joseph kept saying, "Colors, mum. Pretty. Pretty. Colors. Boom-boom." Jared played with the sparklers and, eventually, Jackson got brave enough to try them too.
It was a great day, wonderful service at church and some great family time too. Doesn't get any better than that right now. Enjoy the pics!
