For the Love of Rocks

I love rocks and I have always loved to collect and pick them up when we travel.  One good thing about it most of the time they are free and like snowflakes seldom will you ever find two exactly a like.  I have rocks from England, Germany, Scotland, France, Ireland, Holland, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Russia, Poland and the list goes on and on. I can not tell you just how many rocks I have picked up through the years.  Almost like when I find a penny I place it in my pocket.  As my children were growing up we would go rock hunting. And before you knew it with all the rocks I had collected as a child I was now adding in my children and my grand children rocks. I have around our home several rocks and one of my favorite is from Stonehedge in England. Back in 1968 you were able to go right up to the stones and touch them. And around them you would find smaller stones and rocks.  So back then I would gather up several during each visit. Since then my love for picking up rocks and pennies have always been there. 

Well the other day I brought some paint and decided to paint a few rocks for fun. Chrissie loves to paint as well as Patrick.  With Aspergers it is hard to keep his mind focused for long periods of time. But painting and art work he can keep his mind focus for an hour or so. As he was painting he told me to bad we could not sell these rocks.. Not having anything I could sell to fund raise I thought why not.  We needed the funds to pay off our agency and do it quickly.  So we posted on FB like the Pet Rock but Orphan Pet Rocks for Adoption.  We glued on eyes hair and there left in front of us several cute little rocks.

As I posted the Rocks I got more comments and we ended up collecting over $200.00 in funds.
With each of the children painting their hearts out for their new brother and sister.  Today Rocks and yesterday pennies tomorrow what will it be?

WHILE WE SLEPT HERE IN THE US *IN RUSSIA

This morning while we all slept warm in our beds thousands of citizens in Russia protested the adoption ban in the freezing cold.

 It was estimated that between 10,000 and 20,000 showed up in Moscow 
to protest and there were 7 other cities where they protested also. 
One of the signs below reads "Every child deserves a family" and the signs with pictures 
are the ones of people who voted to ban adoptions. 
There is so much going on in Russia right now. 
Please pray for their citizens and continue to pray for the orphans.

Thank you-thank you

"This is not a joke and we need the funds."

UGH, I GOT THE BUG AND IT IS NOT THE ADOPTION BUG :'O((

My throat is hurting, my head is hurting, my eyes are swollen.   And I spent most of the day laying down and getting weaker and weaker. Oh my body is aching and I can not think.  Trying to get in a quick post  so I can advocate for our little ones. Not feeling to good makes me think of the little ones and knowing when they are ill they are left alone in their beds.  There is no one to comfort them or tell them it will be okay.  Oh how I pray that these funds are raised quickly  and we soon have a travel date. Please pray the children stay well and our needs of funds are met.. God Bless and thank you everyone who has helped and prays for our children...

The answer to why are children are waiting..

What is taking my Momma and Poppa so long in bringing us home?

Daily I get emails and comments from friends on when our children are coming home. Yes we are excited that we are finally their legal parents.  There is not one day I do not think of both of them.  And yes many days I miss them to the point of crying.  But I know in my heart we will be traveling to bring them home but it may take some time.  I try to be patience in understanding and save every dime we can to make this happen.

Just how can I tell my momma's friends how much she misses me and also my brother?

I want to be honest with everyone they can not come home till we pay off our agency.  No fault of the agency by all means it is just we had two children sick at the same time with very serious illnesses.  Believe we did not imagine that our daughter Makayla many tumors would have increased and her older daughter Samantha had some problems in her pregnancy.  We had been paying our fees but we became behind. And doing an adoption and then another adoption it can add up quickly.  We are often ask why we jumped into another adoption when we just completed Chrissie's.  Honestly all I can say was our hearts were in love with these children. And we knew we had to bring them home.  We took every nickle we had to commit to them and once we get done it will take every extra dollar we have to bring them home.

There has got to be away for everyone to notice that they need the funds?

Daily I advocate both children and pray for them again and again. I have ask our Lord to give us the tools in helping us obtain these funds. Money can add good but it also can add stress and worry.  I have also been a frugal person, a coupon person, a person who shops sales, buys in bulk, buys second hand, reduced and the list goes on and on.   I manage each month to have the birthdays covered for 14 grandchildren, 9 children and the neighbor children. I run to the 75% to 80% off sales especially when it is children items.  I make a lot of my children's clothing, blankets and things.

Hey I know what to tell everyone.

If you help me get home I will help my Momma advocate for each of my friends.

And just like me they will not have to be an orphan anyone.

I know you may think I am crazy when I write but I write from my heart and I write of what I have seen over the pass 20 years.  I have visited many orphanages and yes I wished I could have brought back every child I met.  But knowing during many of these times it was better that I helped other families find their children and help them also in bringing them home.  Now I sit on the other side, I am a parent trying to bring our children home and I am asking for everyone's help.  I had Pay Forward many-many times for orphan children and I will continue to Pay Forward in helping these children.  But honestly I need everyone to help us during this time.  We are in so need of these funds and needing them now.  As I watch around me Adoption after Adoption being Fully Funded and we try and raise what we can.  I advocate for other families like ours daily.  For their are many families like our family who needs that extra BUMP to bring their babies home.

I can tell you how much I cry each night and tell you how many pennies I have picked up at Walmarts.  But it does not change the fact we are still short in funds. I can not say I will stop crying whether we get these funds or not but I miss my babies so much. I dream of the day we pick them up and I hold them in my arms.  For this day will be the Gotcha Days of Days.  My love will be in my heart till then and now.. Please I ask and pray everyone to help..

Happy 7th Birthday Mason Stone

Happy Birthday to Mason Stone

What A Day

What a day. :O)) Every day is what a day at our home with cleaning, cooking, shopping, knitting and the list goes on and on.  Trying to finish up a few blankets for the children so when they come home they have their very own blankets made by their momma :O)) I know it would probably be cheaper in the long run and much easier to just buy one already made but with each of my children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews and very close friends I make each of their children a blanket or something from my heart. As my fingers move the yard in and out of the crochet hook I vision the days ahead as it is wrapped around my babies.  Yes I am in love with our babies.

Today as we have been working on my daughter's nursery she giggled.  During this time as I helped her prepare for her new son I was also preparing for our little ones.  Much like twins they are.:O)) Being that they are 18 months apart the little girl Genie is much younger that little Jake. And yet she is bigger and looks so much like her older brother. She is full of voice and he is quiet.. She is a wild girl and he just sits and watches. So difference but so much alike.. each day we seem to be hitting a little closer to meeting the goal of the funds we need.  At the moment we are only needing the remaining agency funds of $11,250.00  Starting off at well over $30,000.00 in arrears we have slowly saved, raised and added to our adoption funds. Adoption is costly but no other way I could enjoy better to be in debt. There should never be a dollar stand the way of a child having a home and a family.  With these two children the odds were against them both having CF.  With the little guy aging out he would have been transferred last year and their was very little hope of them both being adopted.  After I read the story of each child we knew these children needed a chance and some hope for a future outside the walls of an orphanage.  In 20 years I have learned there is not one orphanage is a home.  Some caregivers are kind and caring yet others are cruel and could care less. Some orphanages filled with beautiful murals and others with walls of grey paint.  The same type of paint that I once viewed day after day at the schools on a military base. The windows with cracks where the air would sweep through and chill the room. Often many orphanages have thin carpets over concrete floors.  And then there were the ones just a grey floor. 

Our family has been very lucky with these children adoptions we were able to see a few photos of each of them when they were younger. Something we will always cherish getting to glimpse into their younger years. And imagining what they were like as little babies.  Something a lot of us take for granted with our own birth children being able to see them shortly after giving birth.  I am not sure exactly which smile or giggle I enjoyed the most with each child just being able to watch them smile is the biggest joy for me.  I have been bless and yet I do not deserve such beautiful children. I will cherish each day and I pray I do not over hold them. :O)) For I know for the first couple months their little feet will not touch the ground. Let this time pass by where we raise these funds. Oh how I hate that funds is keeping us apart from one another.  I hate that things happened in our adoption to where there were delays towards the end. But pretty soon they will be in arms and till then I will pray and pray for both our children.. Missing you both tonight, Momma :O))

Our Little Man

With only weeks left to raise the Agency funds we are now working hard on bringing these funds in for a travel date. Praying to be there during our little boy's birthday.  I want to be able to hold him and let him know he now has parents who love him dearly.  The first time I held this little man I knew my heart would never be the same.  Little "Jake" will keep my heart beating happy beats. Much like waiting for Christmas as a child my heart is so full with excitement.  It is wonderful to be a new mother, oh how I can not wait for these days ahead.. We are coming little man and praying this birthday you will be home. Be prepared for plenty of kisses and hugs...:O)) Your Momma

Our Themometer is rising on our Adoption Blog :O))

Thanks to a sweet friend Karen Jo Moseley of MN we now have another $20.00 added to our Airline Tickets for purchasing a Stacking Bulgarian Doll. And another $31.00 from Amie Howe of NC towards the children's Airline Tickets.

In an early auction of Tooth-Fairy Pillows I raised another 25$ which I have divided with another friend Lisa Matthews for her adoption of her little one. At this point every dollar and every dime is appreciated. Again I ask everyone to share our blog.  We are only weeks away now from a travel date and need these funds quickly.

God Bless and have a wonderful Blessed Day

adding another day

Adding another day means a day closer to seeing or babies and also a day less in raising the funds we need to continue. Over and over in my mind I see dollar signs of worry bt one day these signs will be replaced with two smiling little faces.  So much to look forward to and the time is just now weeks away. Praying to get the funds we need so we can book our airline tickets early and save as much as we can for or trip. I am not going go into detail of what we need because it has not changed and we are still in need of $13,000  for agency. Our main be worry is paying off or agency and once this is done we can breath.

Nothing worse than worrying about funds and needing them quickly. It will happen and I have handed this worry to our Lord.  I ask him to guide s through this road of worry and let us focus on preparing our home for the children.  Trying to finish moving rooms around and setting up their little beds. A lot of work in making blankets and making clothing for each child. Setting up an area for each of their daily therapy and learning as much as possible about CF.  We have been researching and meeting other parents of children with CF.  So we will be ready and prepare.:O))

I keep looking at the many photos of the children we had taken our or prior trip and the updated one we received from our friends the Colemans.   In just four months the children have grown so much and this tells us they are eating well. Still my heart aches for them both.  Hard to explain how my heart feels during this wait. If this was only away of bringing them both home right now I would swim if I had to to get there. :O))

With a New Year and a heart full of love we will wait for our babies to come home...
