We Got LSC!!!

We just got word that our LSC was issued today. The LSC is the letter that officially offers the child for adoption to us. We will sign it acknowledging that we accept the referral. We should get the document in the mail on Thursday. Great news!!!  I really needed good news today. :)

We were hoping that this would come through before the end of the week. It is the beginning of the Chinese New Year celebrations so starting Monday of next week all offices in China will be closed for 10 days. We now can do all of the US side of the paperwork and miss having down time during the holiday. Hopefully everything will be ready to submit to the consulate in China at the end of the holiday. It is starting to look very likely that we will be in China in March. YEAH!!

No new info on Gideon. That probably means he is still in the hospital. We are absolutely going to need oxygen for him on the way home. We found out that Cathay Pacific will allow O2 concentrators and they can also provide oxygen but there is a possibility that their oxygen may not come through. We have been looking for a used unit. Please, if anyone comes across one or can put the word out let us know. The portable oxygen concentrator needs to be FAA approved and continuous flow. That means there are only 4 different units that will work for us.

SeQual Eclipse
DeVilbiss Healthcare IGo
O2 Concepts OxLife
Invacare Solo2

These are the 4 we can use. Please, please, please keep an eye out for us.

    Yeah!!!! Moving forward. The Lord is at the helm.

    So, I have been searching and haven't found any for sale yet, but there are places that will rent them, which still isn't cheap, but cheaper than purchasing one if it comes down to it. Here is an example:

Christmas Concert

Last night we had the opportunity to go see the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra with Alfie Boe and Tom Brokaw. It was fantastic!!! Tyler and Jessica were honored to be dancers in it. I think I was the proudest Mama there. Doug and I just smiled the whole time they were on stage. One dance Jessica was right in front but we couldn't see Tyler. That was fine we could watch Jessica the whole time without splitting our attention  She is so graceful and beautiful. We sure love her. Then part way through the song a couple came out dressed in a gold gown and tails. They danced up and down the stairs reminiscent of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. It didn't take long to notice it was Tyler. He was graceful. They danced beautifully! Seeing Alfie Boe perform was great. He has a beautiful voice and is very unassuming. After his first song he took a couple of minutes to speak. One thing he said was that being there was a dream come true. My heart almost burs...

The Power of Love

We have been playing music for Casey in hopes of facilitating greater healing of his brain. We have read studies and heard stories of people that played classical music, specifically Beethoven's Symphony Number 9. Today I turned on the station and beautiful rendition played. It brought a greater peace and calm to the room. I pondered on my desire to one that can help heal through light and peace. A song came on that changed the vibration in my soul to a greater level.  (I don't know how to describe the feeling but listen and feel what is going on inside of you as you play different kinds of music. It may take a few times but you will feel it.) I looked down to see what the song was. The title of the album was The Power of Love. A flood of thoughts came to my mind. The power of Christ's love heals all things. EVERYTHING! I looked at Casey and told him that it is through Jesus Christ and his atonement, which is pure love, he will be healed. I was filled with that love and a s...

Our Adoption Journey In a Very Small Nut Shell

I'm not sure that I have ever put down in the blog our journey to adoption. With 9 adopted children and a story that started many years ago this could be a long post. I will try to give the most important information but I'm sure there will be holes left. If you would like to ask questions feel free to do so. If there is enough interest I will answer those questions in a separate post not just in the comments. If your questions are personal and you don't want to share you are welcome to email me and I promise I will get back to you! Our first experience with adoption was in the first year of our marriage. We were approached with the possibility of adopting 3 girls under the age of 10. I was still working but had the plans to be a stay at home mom. If we were to take the girls I would need to stay home and Doug take full responsibility of the finances. It was a hard decision but we chose to go forward. The adoption fell through but the seeds were planted. When our secon...
