OH My Gosh........

Could that mean only two of our original kids from twenty odd adopted since March 2008? If 5 are left minus Sean, equals 4, and Breanna and Heather matched , equals 2 left. Rose and Caillean. Wow.

Yes and I am glad and thank God.

I won't forget dear Caitlyn who will never be adopted and Patrick and Danielle who I hope are happy in Heaven.

Vive La France.............

Sean is now there with his big sister and his Mama and Papa.

The good news is Breanna is also matched and the fabulous Miss Heather.

Imagine a day very soon when all OUR little starfish are home with their families.

THAT'S NOT ALL FOLKS............

Amanda is pretty busy these days with a ton o' new babies and lots of them with clefts and palate problems and surgeries and so much going on. Never ever heard how Jade"s adoption went or how she did. We keep her in our prayers and so hope she is happy and well. Some rumblings of future adoptions. Sean for one and not sure of little else. Slim pickings but we will take what we can. When I know so will you.

I peruse the few blogs and facebook pages of the kids who are home and all seem well adjusted, loved and cherished..........and that's a miraculous and wonderful thing. Wish I had a way of following all of their lives and vicariously watching them as they grow, but am grateful I can at least know how some of them are.

I'll take it.

Keep the faith.

My little one.......

Sweet little Caitlyn.

The five, plus one I never knew...........

These are our five remaining "big" kids left at Starfish. Cailean, Emily who we did not have the pleasure of meeting, Sean, Breanna, Rose and Heather. These are the annual Easter pictures. They all look absolutely wonderful.
They are a little family of their own and I am thankful for that.

A blessed joyous Easter to you all.

Jade is home.....Sean may be next......

No report on Jade's adoption other than it happened last sunday I think and that she went to a home with a couple of sisters.
Wish I could find out more and see some photos but so far it isn't happening.

Brief note that maybe sean is next. Poor little guy must be missing all his buddies.

You'll know when I do. so sorry there is so little to say.

Left....Heather, Brianna, Callum, Cailean, Sean and Caitlyn. Five.

China was fab........

Home.......over the jet lag..........and in love with a whole bunch of new kids. Sadly I will never know what happens to them all.
Too many and known by their chinese names that I can never hope to remember. We chose a nickname for most. Check out our
blog for the 2009 trip if you are interested.

Ready to say goodbye soon to all of our little friends. Bittersweet.
