Thanks, S! for a good wish!

100- Good Wishes! I have FOUR! Thanks to S and family for the $50 donation! What a blessing! I cannot wait til Ben gets home from Colombia tomorrow, and I can post more about his trip. He has sent moving emails that I would love to share, but want to do so with pics. We do really believe as much of a sacrifice it might be to take on another child, another adoption, it is so God! And no, we may not have the best, the latest of everything, but we will have each other... and to give a child a home...

Just tonight, Andrew was telling my grandmother, "You know, Nana...some kids in Colombia don't get to eat hotdogs." She said, "Oh really. What do they eat?" Tatiana chimed in, "They don't eat." Andrew said, "Yeah...they don't have any food. That is why I have to eat. Everyday, I have to eat. Right, Mami?"

It breaks my heart... There are children there in Colombia, as all over the world who go to bed at night with nothing in their tummies. It breaks my heart that even after nearly three years, that my son is afraid he will be without... without food. I only reassured him that as long as he were with me and Papi, we'd do all that we could make sure he had enough to eat. But what a scary thought... to think that I must eat and eat, because tomorrow, I may not have anything. I don't even have a clue about what real hunger is... God bless those babies. Send people to feed those babies in Colombia, Ethiopia, the US, all over...send your angels to minister to them...

and thanks again, S! Every donation gets us closer to bringing our daughter home! God bless you and your family! Appreciate ya, girlie!
