I posted over at No Hands But Ours today… and tried to answer the question I’ve been asked by parents waiting for a referral in the SN program, “How will I know if it’s my child?” And in the process, I walked down memory lane with our own referral experiences. All five of them. Might have gotten a little misty,… Read More
one question answered… a big one
megadog said… How do you answer the question of “How much does adoption cost?” I am always mildly uncomfortable with that question and yet want to answer it honestly to help anyone who might be thinking of adoption. It’s a hard one for me. Do you have a good answer? Kateri said… The problem… they are all coming to me… Read More
happy four months, baby
My sweet girl. I just can’t resist trying to capture everything about her. I don’t want to miss a minute. It’s been four months since we met in that tiny Civil Affairs office in Nanning. And as much as I hate to see time slipping away so quickly, I’m not gonna lie… I’m glad to be on this side of… Read More
Vivi’s big day
Today is a big day for Vivi. She’s headed to Boston again. This time with just her Daddy. I had to stay behind. I’m in charge of sick bay and it’s many many patients. And it’s killin’ me not to be there with her. Today is Vivi’s long-anticipated appointment with the geneticist. And we’re hopeful for some answers. Or even… Read More
whazzup with Shep
We’re off this morning to the grocery store. And then to Home Depot. And possibly stopping at McDonald’s, if the kids haven’t sent me over the edge by then.“Kids, if mommy hasn’t lost her marbles by lunchtime, I’ll take you to McDonald’s! Deal?!?” It’s a bribery tactic that really seems to work for me. In the meantime, I thought I’d… Read More
olivia update
I’ve had a few emails and comments asking about the status of Olivia’s file. I contacted Lifeline today and was told this afternoon that she was not currently on hold. If you are interested, please contact Karla Thrasher or Janell Lucas or call Lifeline at 205-967-0811 right away. This little one doesn’t have much time to find her family.

Meet Olivia. She’s five years old. And has one week left to find her forever family. And she is just. too. cute. Clearly. Olivia is listed with Lifeline Children’s Services. An agency I can personally recommend. Highly. They helped us bring home Sophie and Shepherd. And we love them, a lot. Olivia’s special needs are orthopedic issues that affect her… Read More
share. and bless others.
We want to hear from you. The proverbial ‘we’. As in all of us. At least all of us out there in the special needs adoption blog-o-sphere. And ‘you’ meaning just that. YOU. If you have a special needs child from China, enjoy writing, and would like to join us over at No Hands But Ours as a regular contributor,… Read More
news from Boston
Vivi had to be woken from a sweet slumber in order to get to Boston Children’s on time. By the time we got in the car, she barely had her eyes open. Thankfully, she had an hour and half ride in which to wake up. As soon as we were checked in and ushered to a room, the kids were… Read More
a long day
We made it. Whew. We left home at a little after 8:00 this morning. And we barely made it home in time for the boys’ bus at 3:45 this afternoon. It was one very long day. But Vivi did great. She is an amazingly easy-going kid. She loved almost everything about the hospital, most of all the bubble tubes that… Read More
