Someday

Well baby moon went home to family:( It was great though, sad to see him go but he went home with  family that I am sure will love on him everybit as much as we did.
30 minutes after dropping him off the phone call came again with 2 other littleones in need of a safe haven for a while so we lost one gained 2. They are doing great. Sweet kiddos just takes alittle adjusting when you add one so to add 2, well things get alittle busier!

USCIS!!!! if you can believe first rejected our 1800 this time becuase we have to pay filing fees again then we did that and after another 2 week wait the rejected it due to the fact I over paid them $10.00!!!! Can you believe that! for $10. my child remains without his famly for a minimum of 2 more weeks. PGN well let me tell you the USCIS is definatly giving you a run for your money. So we just continue to pray the Lord's timing is perfect althought it doesnt' always make since.   Our son has remained in Mexico 8 months now  longer than he should have and people wonder WHY we have so many illegal immigrants!! well we have done everything the legal way and you can see what we have been going through not to mention the Money that has had to be spent! So we don't know what to do I have made all the contacts I know how to with no results and going to the Media, well I am just so tired!

Everyone wants Pedro home! My youth group at church that I love dearly have been praying continuously for him  Some day I am going to get to hear YES Pedro can come home now and what a celebration we will have!!!!!!!!!!!! Someday I am going to get to walk through those church doors with my son! Someday I want have to miss anymore of his soccer games and someday I will no longer have to worry he has given up his faith in God and with knowing he gets to come home! Someday!

Family Picture's

Friday August 27

Friday afternoon August 27 our family brought home the sweetest little guy home from the hospital. 2 days old!!! It has been such a long time since I had one that little 13 years to be exact. Talking about anxiety! but it did all come back to us and today sweet baby boy is 1 week old and doing amazing. He is so tiny weighing in at 5lbs 15oz at one week old. He is doing so well, loves sleeping on Carrol's chest and loves his bottle. My sleep well that is taking some adjustment but he does sleep well just the normal every 3 hour bottle. Sweet baby "Moon" as he is known in our house thanks to Josie is brought  to us from DCFS. we have no idea what the outcome will be just continue to pray over him Jeremiah 29:11. As with all our foster babies we love him dearly!!!!!!!!! No matter the outcome we wouldn't change one minute with him. I will say he is the first baby I have had that I wanted to take to get his pictures made and fix up his own nursery Etc. don't know what that means I know he fits so well with my family, even waiting to pick him up felt just like the moment we sat in Guatemala waiting to meet Josie for the first time. I know that I am putting my heart out there and is subject to be broken but if not and the Lord does plan for us to be his forever family I don't want to miss any of these moments and thoughts I have of him. I read something in a adoption magazine yesterday talking about Foster/adopt and it said although it is tough and has its own challenges at least you get to be with your child while you wait! So This is the deal if baby moon does get to remain in our family forever I would be so sad if I didn't document and if I didn't let him sleep on my chest and if I didn't get his picture made all the time. I missed all the moments with Josie and Pedro so  what will it hurt right! We love him no matter what and he will always be part of our life!

And as for Pedro, well it seems I am always saying this but maybe next week we will have a answer. Still waiting and will continue to preservere until he his home!!

Josie started Gymnastics and preschool this month! she is doing so good. She thinks she is going to be a cheerleader when she grows up so we are getting a head start. It is so much fun to watch her just wish I could slow things down!

Corie started Jr. High  OH MY GOODNESS! but is loving it. She is a social bug so she loves being there to hang with her friends.

Christian, well talking about wanting to slow things down!!!! High School now and he just got his first vehicle!! boohoo!  but I do enjoying watching him growning up. I love his age and watching the kind of mature man he is growing into now I am just getting alittle nervous about the dating thing he is about to be in.

Overall life is good! I feel I am in my sweet spot.  5 families from my small church are now becoming foster families which is a dream of mine and I think the Lord would be proud!
