MOTHERS DAY

     
For my mother, we try to get together the day after with her
for lunch. This year it will be dinner because I am homeschooling
2 children and Rebekah needing 24/7 care. I did have a 3 hour lunch
with my oldest daughter today. It was nice to catch up.

My faith has been shaky lately.  I am struggling with our
new daughter's file. Feeling like we were given hope but then it was
taken away with the update we just received.   And I know she is worthy
of  a family, she needs love and to get her needs met and to learn about
our wonderful Father !  uggg            why isn't this easy.

LID

Official LID 5/3   ( our dossier log in date )

I have not posted much lately because we have been going thru
some rough times lately..
So, prayer for our family... He knows our struggles.

APPROVAL

wow, we received our I800A approval today !!


working on our dossier.

MARCH

March has lots of birthdays. My mom, my oldest daughter and my soon to
be youngest daughter and one of my younger sisters and my uncle and
my niece's son.          HAPPY BIRTHDAYS

March will also be the month that I remember my sister who passed
away on the 6th.   She will be greatly missed. xoxo

March is when we received a RFE ( request for evidence) from USCIS
for our I-800A. Someone didn't write enough info about our 20 year old son
who lives with us in our home study .... UGGGgg
And now we are at a stand still because I can not get the paper they want because
I am leaving for my sisters funeral.   He's got this




             
 
This is where we are TODAY.. Just below Portland in pink area.
Blizzard warnings, And the storm has a name Stella
And more snow for this weekend.


Truthfully, I am very overwhelmed right now.

NEW HOPE

SHOW HOPE / NEW HOPE - KIDS WAITING FOR FAMILIES
Here are the precious children in the care of Show Hope / New Hope who are currently available for adoption. These children have varying ages and special needs, but the biggest need of each one is a family. They are loved dearly by their nannies and nurses and provided access to important medical care and surgeries through the Show Hope / New Hope program while they are waiting for their forever families.
There are many adorable children in the care of Show Hope / New Hope, but not all of them are paper ready. I'll keep this list as up to date as I can with those who are available for adoption. Show Hope / New Hope plays no role in if or when a child becomes available for adoption.

ABOUT LOVE

A friend posted this on face book:

"You do not know understand Christianity or the teachings of Jesus
 unless you fully understand that it is about LOVE, loving the least
of these Matthew 25:31-46 and loving your neighbor where ever 
they are.  Christianity is not about taking care of myself and my own
first, it's the exact opposite.  The beatitudes and the Sermon on the
Mount explain it so well.  What is happening in our country right
now has nothing to do with Christianity and breaks the heart of God.

PRESIDENTS DAY

Yesterday @ 6 am David received a call from work....
His crew was having issues and he was  not there to deal with
it.  I kinda felt sorry for him. Like he has to speak at church for
the next 2 weeks while starting  a new boat and back to overtime.
Praying that we don't get any snow this week while the kids are
on school vacation.  Just fun times !
Today we meet up with Brooke and her parents @ Jokers.
Brooke turned 3  !!
when we got there Gabriel got nervous and looked like he was
going to cry. We reassured him that he did not have to do anything
that scared him. Him and Rohana did not want to go on the slides
or bounce house or thru the tunnel play area. Hrutuja on the other
hand wanted to do everything Brooke was doing.
Brooke comes running up to me "Memere, I need money!"
She needed tokens, I had to laugh, it was funny.
Rohana sat at the table with  Rebekah and me and didn't want
to play any games. I felt bad because I let her stay up until 10 o'clock
because Repunzle was on tv last night. but she took a nap on the way home.
