We are waiting for our LOA and TA (anytime now) for our daughter in Hanzhong. I'm also a mom to 5, 2 adopted from China, well almost 2 anyway! I'm anxious to go bring our Grace home, who is 10. Our other daughter had just turned 2 when we adopted her and I also feel that our girls were chosen for our family. We just had to listen and have faith! <BR/>Blessings to your family!<BR/>Stephenie in UtahStephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15984759678309938187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7842894048586583518.post-27871914105206852642008-09-10T08:56:00.000-07:002008-09-10T08:56:00.000-07:00Desiree - I am so happy Gracie is home.

Let me know what you find out on the cleft stuff. You know with having my own little cleft guy I will be curious as to what they say. I hope she can overcome her delays quickly. Too bad about the Dr. It is frustrating that there are not more doctors that are familiar with children coming here form international countries. Again congrats!!!

Gracie does have a road ahead of her, but with her forever mama and baba beside her, and one GREAT GOD who brought her home, she is destined for GREATNESS! It will be so neat to see God's plan unfold for all your sweet children. <BR/>I'm praying for your family's transition...I remember this time all too well when we came home from China. Gracie will make strides and in a month you will look back and see how far she's come! At the adoption clinic in Birmingham Dr. Chambers told me the BEST advice...never judge how things are going by the day, because days differ so much. Judge how things are going by what kind of WEEK you've had. I love that!<BR/>Sorry if this comment is rambling!

I'm sure Grace is still in shock and it will take some time for her to realize that she is "home". Just remember, keep her on the floor as long as possible!! The more I'm learning about Abigail and her trauma, the more I am aware of how critical it is for children to crawl and creep as long as possible to deal with the traumas. Take care.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14584276677881904284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7842894048586583518.post-71541048931599801352008-09-09T16:11:00.000-07:002008-09-09T16:11:00.000-07:00I love the video.

The butterfly video is so sweet. I am sure it will be a flurry of transition, dr. visits, etc. for the next few months - I am preparing myself for that too. (And I am sure Owen will have giardia!) She will catch up with time, if she is more delayed than you anticipated. The love of a family will give her the platform to grow.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy these moments bonding with your little girl!Rebecca Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05963057412380331638noreply@blogger.com
