    And thanks to you Stefanie (and Amie and everyone on your team) for creating such a powerful and helpful site! It has really allowed us to be so much more aware of other special needs that we will be open to. Who knows, without NHBO, maybe our next child would never have even crossed our path?! Awesome site! Can’t wait to have our own story to share!

    All the best,
    Nicole A. in OH

    Love that Kristin won!
    I apologize that I haven’t gotten my stories together yet. 🙂
    I promise too soon! 🙂
    We found out last week that Jorja’s blood work is clean and clear! No Hep B for Jorja! She has all the anti-bodies that her body needs!
    Praise God – only He can heal!

    Thank you for starting “No Hands But Ours” – I refer people all the time!
    Will continue to pray that this website will help bring more families together!

    Hi Stephanie –

    I am new to your blog and am just LOVIN’ it! I went and read each of the adoption stories about your precious kids and was so moved by them! I am originally from South Africa, my husband is American and we have gypsied around the globe a lot. But we always love being home in South Africa; my parents adopted a little HIV baby boy who has become my son’s best friend – they are only a few years apart and believe they are brothers even though Karabo is the Uncle and my Jackson is the nephew. My parents have fostered Karabo’s siblings and we love the crazy kid-induced chaos that reigns whenever we are home there.

    Anyway, all that to say your stories have moved me and educated me on a part of the world and its adoption needs that are new to me. I will keep following. Do you have a blog button for Ni Hao Y’all that I could post to my own site?

    With best wishes and blessings on all your wonderful big brood –

    Lisa-Jo Baker@ http://www.lisajosbakerboys.blogspot.com
