We have been considering adopting an older child for 2 years now. Is it possible for you to fill us in on how she is doing in school, etc. now? Also, where did you get the specially made necklace with two different countries? We are in the same boat (two different countries).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31727903.post-23921420565532940412009-06-18T21:19:08.383-04:002009-06-18T21:19:08.383-04:00Your family is by far the most inspirational famil...Your family is by far the most inspirational family I have ever met.

Yes, I'll be in Michigan in May at Deb's workshop and really looking forward to it. I believe Steffie and Lea(another blogger, I don't know if you know her) will be there too. William has been home with us 5 months. Initially there were challenges but he's now doing very, very well. We love this boy so much!<BR/><BR/>Your post made me cry. That number of 143 million orphans haunts me. I also never say never, so who knows what the future will bring for our family too. Your daughters are just beautiful and congratulations on bringing home an older sister for them. I look forward to following your journey!<BR/><BR/>Take care, GailGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05873027475268868308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31727903.post-35683532271811519032009-01-04T21:48:00.000-05:002009-01-04T21:48:00.000-05:00This is a wonderful story, and one that your daugh...This is a wonderful story, and one that your daughter will appreciate as she grows older, too, I'm sure! God is so very good, and He really has a heart for orphans, of that I am totally convinced! I'm excited to follow along with her adoption. I know very little about adopting out of birth order, but I do know it is common, and how very sweet that your current oldest in on board!
