We are ready to send our first post placement report for Russia. As I read our social worker's words, I wept.
Why? Because I am so happy inside. I am happy because a little girl who's life was total chaos and destruction from the moment she was born is now HOME...
I wept because the Lord has redeemed her.
I wept because when I see her smile, her GENUINE smile and her joy, and I see the changes she has made, I am just overcome.
Friday will mark our 9th month together. Alli is a JOY!
She was helping me wrap a Christmas present tonight and taking total glee in the fact that her sister was going "to really LOVE this present!" :)
The changes we are seeing in her are remarkable.
She is joyful, she works hard on her school work, she is helpful and kind. She shares her love for her sisters and us all the time, and expresses her joy in her prayers.
She is herself.... and she is liking herself. :) I could go on and on, but it would be a book.
I am just amazed.
I am so thankful that we are able to be a part of her life. Both Mike and I are in awe of what the Lord has done in our lives and in her life.

I rejoice with you and love hearing her life story of redemption...only the Lord can do this in such a pure way. Her smile says it all.
Oh that is so true!
I am so glad! I pray for you all!
What can I add? Rejoicing with you in His name.
That fatherless find their rest at the sound of His great name!
Blessings.
You and your husband do this therapeutic parenting so naturally - and wih your homeschooling, your country setting, dad at home, etc... your whole lifestyle seems to support the peace and centeredness that your girls need. I love, love, love reading about all the good you do for your girls, and frankly always wish I had your natural gifts.
