Our Adoption Journey

• Feb. 24, 2008 - My kids

About 3 days ago I became ill with a fever, cough, and I am just plain tired. I am on an antibiotic, so I am slowly starting to feel better. I have not been this sick in a long time.

My kids have been great. They have been helping to take care of the little ones so I can sleep when needed. I really am really proud of my children, they are very responsible for their age. That I believe that comes with being part of a large family. When you have a large family, everyone has to help. But, even if we only had 2 children, I still believe that children should help in the household. They are learning skills that they will need for life.

Today I slept in. When I woke up, my girls surprised me with a clean living room, family room, and kitchen.

What makes it even more wonderful is that I did not ask them to do this. I am just so thankful for children who think of me in time of need, and others, too. I always tell them that that we are to put others above ourselves.

Romans 12:10

10 "Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves."

On the paperwork process, there is no news yet. I know I will return to Ghana when it is God's perfect timing. Right now I need to get well so I have the strength to return to Ghana. It is a very long journey, but so worth it.

It's great when you know that your kids can look after each other and you when you need it. It just shows the training you drill into them day after day coming though and affecting their attitudes. And it makes life so much easier!!! Congratulations on your adoption; I hope it goes well.
