Still waiting.........

We are still waiting for good news from the Minister of Interior here in Haiti. This office needs to approve our dossier before it can be sent to Immigration for passports. We have been waiting for this now for 4 months. It is unfortunate that this country and it's systems are so broken. I know that God has a purpose for me here in this country and I am blessed to be with my children. I know that many others are waiting for their kids and they can't be with them. I thank the Lord every night for the protection and provisions that He has provided to allow me to be here with my children, for their health and their lives. I strive to use each day here in Haiti as an opportunity to help and I am happy to do the therapy with each kid and adult that I am so blessed to see. I spent yesterday doing therapy with a couple of kids and spent Monday and Tuesday helping in a mobile medical clinic. I hope that each day I am here, I am a blessing to this country. I do hope too, that soon, I'll be able to take my babies home to meet their family and all of the people that have been so faithful in their love, support, and prayers for us. Without you, I would not have the opportunity to be here in Haiti with my children or have the opportunity to help anyone else here in Haiti. Please continue to pray with me that God will move the hands of the men in these offices and that our dossier will be signed and moved on for passports. Please also praise Him as he has protected us and continues to protect us here in this country and His provisions of food, shelter, and financial means have been supported when many times, I have been unsure as to how we were going to make it from one day to the next.

Thanks so much for all of your love!

I am back!!! LOL!  It's been awhile since I've done any blogging!  When I looked at the last blog entry, it was 9 days before I left for China to pick up my baby girl!  I guess things got a little to busy to keep up with blogging....to say the least.  Thinking back, I remember that last week and a half.  I was a tornado of emotions, the list of things on my "to do" list was longer than the Mackinaw Bridge and I had no idea how much my life was going to change! I have to admit, I have loved being a momma of three!  I seriously believe that I am the luckiest person in the entire world. I really do like blogging.  It's good for me.  It helps me process some of the crazy in my life.  Believe me, as a single full time working momma of three kids with some special and unique needs, things can get a little crazy around here. The thing that I have been thinking about lately is HEALTH.  I mean, it seems so simple and yet it is so complicated.  Physical health, mental h

Overwhelmed with gratitude!

Yesterday was a hard one for me!  Not the hard that has you sad and crying or feeling beat up or anything.  But, the hard was keeping my brain focused! LOL!  My brain is a hot mess people!!!  I feel like I have so many loose ends to tie up before we leave for China in 9 days....yes, I said it, 9 days!!!!!  And my brain does not stay on one topic or project or even thought long enough to complete ANYTHING!!! LOL Insomnia is my close friend when I get like this!  I will fall asleep as soon as I get into bed, into a deep beautiful sleep....for 2 hours. Then: BOOM! Wide awake! Wide awake with a brain that runs in circles! LOL!!!! So, I blog! hahaha!  It's about 4:30 in the morning and as I sit here at my computer, I hear the wind and the rain outside. It's cold!  It's Michigan and it's the week of Halloween, of course it's going to be cold! But, I sit here and I listen to the sounds of outside and then I listen to the sounds of inside. Inside my home, I hear the sof

Processing adoption!

Image
Processing adoption has been a huge focus at our house lately!  Not paper processing....emotional cognitive processing of adoption.  It is amazing! Amazingly hard, amazingly beautiful, amazingly confusing, amazingly enlightening, amazingly hurtful, amazingly joyful, amazingly bonding, amazingly tearful, amazingly exhausting and amazingly energizing.  And amazingly much more than that!!!! :) I was never one that could talk about my feelings very well.  This is not a good weakness to have when you are an adoptive parent!  It is ESSENTIAL that I talk about feelings and help my kid process through the difficult parts of their life stories.  Thank goodness for a village of other adoptive parents, social workers and counselors and even teachers who have come alongside me to help me make sure I handle this delicate subject to the best of my ability! Jaryse seems to do this quite easily, fluently, and with acceptance of the 'good' and the 'bad'.  I am pretty sure he has tau
