Early Easter Surprise!

It's not yet Easter, but the Bunnied One visited us early! And what a suprise! In our basket we found a very generous donation toward our adoption costs!

All we can say is THANK YOU! We are always finding ourselves surprised and thankful for the love of God as it comes through the love of our friends. Our Easter Bunny this morning didn't leave a name, but we were left with these very true and very wise words: "The Glory is God's". Indeed, it is.

We are so thankful to all of you who have given us help in every way...by your prayers and friendship, and by your material and financial help. We feel endlessly blessed, and we hope we can share this life of blessings with our children.

Thank You!

A Princess for our Princess

Today I got to watch “Sleeping Beauty” with my friend, Lilly. Lilly is three and loves all things princess. Before the movie started we saw a preview for the new Disney movie “The Princess and the Frog.” It looks really sweet and I’m super excited to see a Princess who looks like our future princess!

If she can do it, I can do it!

My cousin, Tavish, sent me this in an e-mail and I thought it was applicable to my situation!

In a zoo in California , a mother tiger gave birth to a rare set of triplet tiger cubs. Unfortunately, due to complications in the pregnancy, the cubs were born prematurely and due to their tiny size, they died shortly after birth. The mother tiger after recovering from the delivery, suddenly started to decline in health, although physically she was fine. The veterinarians felt that the loss of her litter had caused the tigress to fall into a depression. The doctors decided that if the tigress could surrogate another mother's cubs, perhaps she would improve. After checking with many other zoos across the country, the depressing news was that there were no tiger cubs of the right age to introduce to the mourning mother. The veterinarians decided to try something that had never been tried in a zoo environment. Sometimes a mother of one species will take on the care of a different species. The only 'orphans' that could be found quickly, were a litter of weanling pigs. The zoo keepers and vets wrapped the piglets in tiger skin and placed the babies around the mother tiger. Would they become cubs or pork chops? Take a look...

Approved!

We received our approval from Gladney and our completed homestudy. We already knew we were approved, but it’s nice to have the formal approval to mark off our endless “to do” list. So, we should get a kid any day now, right? Not exactly. We still have to get finish our dossier; get FBI clearance, and Homeland security clearance. Then, we get on the waiting list.
