For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope.....

...for who hopes for what he already sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it. Romans 8:24-25
While most people start a blog at the beginning of their adoption journey I find myself putting together one at the end. Why? It can be answered by the first question they ask you when you start to put together the blog..."Title for your blog?" That was enough to stop me. Something so personal...what should my blog say? I knew it should express HOPE. Knowing there is hope in every situation, at every place in your life and that hope can never run out. We're adding to our family again: a little girl named Amisha. She will have spent her first three years in an orphanage this coming October 10th. I wonder if she held on to hope... she has a condition called schizencephaly. Her time here on earth will be determined by complications as time passes. For now we will bring her home, love her and hope....

Family Weekend

My sister Cathy teaching her how to fish.
Our cute little face after our first taste of Cheetos
Dancing in our cousins room.
Allie was having her "punch" Jonathan in the face and they thought it was hilarious.
Finally being able to enjoy a warm Minnesota day!

My sister was here from Seattle for my neices confirmation and we were able to spend a nice relaxing weekend with extended family. My dear friend & neighbor had come by on Friday and mentioned how it was on her heart that orphaned children will not only grow up alone, but who would they invite to their wedding or see on their birthday. It was such a timely message for me to appreciate being with family and being able to share it with Amisha.
