Poor Delany. I hope she feels better and her mom too.

Jeremy and Jessica, Congratulations on getting your application in! Maybe you will make it to the next orientation! Heather

I was stuck on gender also but gave in and took into consideration each case presented to us. We talked to so many birthmothers I lost count. I had in my mind the perfect baby, hispanic to match our first daughter, infant and of course a boy. Well during our waiting period my heart was pryed open little by little and it led us to the perfect baby that the Lord intended for us. Beautiful baby Brayden who is part AA. I love being a rainbow family! Never say never. Heather

This makes me so sad.

Praying that all will happen in His perfect timing!

I was talking to a freind last night and telling her about this little boy and she told me a story of a friend of her's who had a child who was born as a dwarf. The family decided to give him shots or medication that would help him to grow and she said he ended being the size of his cousins. This was 30 years ago. I was so amazed. The only thing was that this child could not have his own children and at the time the treatments were very expensive. Heather

Elizabeth, I don't know if you want to write a little info on the little guy and we could copy and paste and send it out to our social workers or other adoption groups that we know of. Willing to help. Heather

Thinking about this guy too. Every child deserves a good home.

I wish we had a picture of this newest family.

How exciting! Congratulations to the newest family!

Oh it breaks my heart to think of this little baby sitting alone in a hospital for his first Christmas. Thank you ladies for going to visit him! Heather

Congratulations on your double blessing!

It's hard to know when to say yes. You just have to follow your heart and God's promptings. We have a friend who's child is small and he has a club foot. He is 6 or 7 years old now and he is a very popular kid. There is nothing he cannot do! I hope this little baby finds his family soon! Heather

Thanks for the links! I just found out that Brayden's great-grandfather was Jewish and so we hope to help him learn about this side of his heritage! Heather

While in the car tonight I was listening to Delilah sp? on the radio. She had a lady call in that said every year each post office receives multiple Dear Santa letters from children. The letters have no where to go so this listener decided to pick some up and maybe answer them for a service project. She answered the letters with gifts, cookies and money with her sons boy scout troop but you could do this just with your family. The boy that wrote the Christmas letter to Santa wanted boots and gloves for his mom, a doll for his sister and sheets for his own bed. How sweet! I think I will ask for some letters when I go to the post office tomorrow. Heather

Just a short reply and more to come. I think teaching our children to be grateful for what they have is a big plus. If our kids ask us for something at the store most of the time we ask them how much money they have to spend. When they don't have enough sometimes we will give them some wriggle room and other times they go without. We want to teach them that money does not grow on trees. They have to appreciate it and spend it wisely. Dave Ramsey is wonderful and he has cute ideas for kids. The most important thing we do is pray for our blessings. A warm or cool house, a warm bed, food, dad's job and that we have each other. Does anyone have ideas on teaching younger children how to serve. I would love to work with a hunger program like on Thanksgiving but my kids are still too young. Greatful for any ideas? Heather

Congratulations to all three families! What a special Thanksgiving this will be! Heather

Congratulations to such a wonderful family!

So excited that God is working His miracles!

Praying that all will be uplifted at this time.

I hope these kids can stay with an Abrazo family!

Congratulations to all the October placements!

What adorable kids! I hope they find a family!

Congratulations Keith, Erika and Briton and new baby girl! Briton will be such a good big sister!

Congratulations to the newest family!
