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....

Amisha's First Birthday....with a family

There was something so important about giving Amisha her "first birthday". It may be because she was alone on her first three or to know that she may not spend as many with us as we would like, but with all that said, it was important. I wanted to share some pictures with all of you who have shared her amazing journey so far. You are all so important to us. It marks almost a year since she made the journey home. She has changed so much. The blessings she has brought to everyone around her are enumerable. Happy 4th Birthday Amisha
