Update on the new ones

December 30, 2009

Today proved to be another mad house (as one might expect going into it) I arrived at the hospital at around 8 and found Eric holding the new baby in his arms. The baby appeared to be a little more alert and actually made eye contact with me for the first time. (He [...]

Whoa

December 29, 2009

Today was a whirlwind in every sense imaginable. What started out as great news (and still is) ended up being a bit scary. Both of the new kids have some pretty intense medical needs.
After many phone calls of trying to figure out what was wrong I ended up spending the day in a [...]

Good news!!!!!!

December 29, 2009

I just got a text from Lale and am so excited. My hands are shaking as I write this. Lale says that we rescued two more kids!
That is literally all I know at this point because he is out of range and although he was able to send a text to me [...]

Supermen

December 27, 2009

I just want to say how thankful we are for Preston and Eric,  they are here for three months from California and are helping out in ways we never could have imagined.   Last week Eric spent 4 days in the car wrestling a 2 year old who thought it a good idea to climb [...]

Still no word…

December 26, 2009

I have been waiting by the phone but have not heard anything yet from Lale as to the child search. I am thinking that his silence is a good thing since he would have to go back into town to call. He is staying out extra long (even for him). I keep [...]

Inspired

December 9, 2009

We have been so blessed to hear about the different creative things people are doing to help support the kids at the orphanage. I heard about something really neat that a couple who internationally adopted last year did and wanted to have them explain it to you in their own words. This is [...]

This makes my heart happy

December 6, 2009

We have been speaking about a church / teaching hall, that we are building in one of the tribes for the past weeks but have not actually had pictures.  Today Lale was able to upload a few pictures of the building process and nearly finished product.  Lale is the one in the blue shirt in [...]

Opportunity for real change

December 3, 2009

For the past month or so we have been talking a lot about adoption and the kids we already have, but in reality what we do here is so much more than that, we believe that it would be wrong for us to just take kids in and not be working to stop the harmful [...]
