I only mention because there are lots of kids closer than you think in need of home. It is unfortunate, but some kids end up in foster care due to their disabilities. And besides that is where I found two of my terrific sons.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01527123571625999061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2406669952841224025.post-44519029310869451442010-09-07T05:18:40.157-07:002010-09-07T05:18:40.157-07:00The owl prints are a great idea (and very cute too...The owl prints are a great idea (and very cute too!). I know it is hard to let go of Sylvie. I can understand your paranoia about the rest of this process until the child is actually with you. I also have no doubt that you will be matched with the child or children that will "fit" in your family. I have seen so many families adopt and the children could not have been a better fit. God knows what he is doing! In the meantime, have fun decorating and dreaming!Wherever HE Leads We'll Gohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15042627234253638468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2406669952841224025.post-21894939971994487072010-09-06T13:54:45.483-07:002010-09-06T13:54:45.483-07:00Thinking of you.

I couldn't help but laugh as I read these words, "Deafness, limb differences, CP, cranialfacial issues, spina bifida, dwarfism, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. No problem" No problem. :-) You rock! You and Jeremy have seen so much, dealt with so much, and conquered so much, that things that seem huge to the rest of us are not big deal to you. And I think that's aweswome! <br /><br />Looking forward to seeing your family grow.Kierstynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12811812082522580472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2406669952841224025.post-55967119022391925452010-09-06T00:53:34.110-07:002010-09-06T00:53:34.110-07:00Sentimental, yes, but beautiful.
Whatever child ...Sentimental, yes, but beautiful. <br /><br />Whatever child you end up with (and I truly feel your "constraints" are 110% reasonable and I hope nobody pulls anything on your family, like claiming a child has no severe behavioral issue when they know well enough the child does, but don't want to admit it or something. Sorry for this random tidbit of horror-story!)--- the child(ren) will be exceedingly lucky. The school district is marvelous (I went there!) and your family is too. <br /><br />I don't know what I believe in, so I choose not to, but what I DO notice about the universe is that it seems to work itself out. Call it serendipity, call it fate, call it whatever you might like, but things DO seem to fall in place just so, and perfectly... so maybe that is how it was for Sylvie and her family, and how it will be for you and whatever child is out there waiting for a home with two owl pictures in his/her room.<br /><br />Can't wait to hear about this next step. Love the owls-- they're adorable. Now I want to paint me some cute animals for MY own room.*Tasha*https://www.blogger.com/profile/05724283252279081613noreply@blogger.com
