Yeah, you're right - on the few adoption blogs I've read, I haven't heard much about how hard the beginnings/everything can be. But, I hope everything ends up going smoothly for you all. I guess like most things it'll just take time.<br /><br />You (and the WHOLE family) will be in my prayers, Olivia! <br /><br />Happy New Year. :)MaryRachel Bulkeleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01916879275590587812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4150602172949369280.post-25305747827359620272011-12-31T10:46:03.830-05:002011-12-31T10:46:03.830-05:00I really admire what you and your family are doing...I really admire what you and your family are doing.... i'm sure it's so so hard to adjust to having four people especially from a foreign place come and live with you. forever. i know that i would be scared, and confused!<br /><br />i'll be praying, and hope that as 2012 comes it will be easier for your family and the four.<br /><br />blessings,<br />EmilyMiss Emily K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10056809738542876841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4150602172949369280.post-17786274244090401042011-12-31T10:41:35.404-05:002011-12-31T10:41:35.404-05:00Looks like they are enjoying the snow!

Wow! I had no idea you guys were adopting! That is so cool! I know it must be had at first, but I've heard of so many families who have been blessed though adoption. It's amazing just how much a child's life can change for the better... all because of a family willing to open up their doors!<br />May you an your family be blessed by your efforts in the months and years ahead! <3<br /><br />Love in Christ,<br /><br />EveEve Victoriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15827581327699990035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4150602172949369280.post-35744673937202785492011-12-30T23:25:44.704-05:002011-12-30T23:25:44.704-05:00So, so true.

I must admit, i'm quietly dreading the challenges that come with adoption. But know that God is having y'all go through this for a reason! And just think, next year at this time, you'll be able to look back and see how much better things are and how much God has blessed you through these new siblings! <3Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02544792817249305810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4150602172949369280.post-87821147217869803382011-12-30T20:57:11.488-05:002011-12-30T20:57:11.488-05:00oh man, im sorry this is so hard for your family, ...oh man, im sorry this is so hard for your family, but someday when everything is as it should be you probably wont even remember these first few weeks! i hope everything goes well! :)Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12679609840346432088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4150602172949369280.post-65988237715720074622011-12-30T20:46:55.445-05:002011-12-30T20:46:55.445-05:00You all are in my thoughts!
