SO KEEP POSTED FOR THAT BIG DAY OF KNOWING WHEN WE WILL TRAVEL TO GET OUR BEAUTIFUL LITTLE GIRL. WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH ALREADY BELLA, CAN'T WAIT TO GET YOU HOME. LOVE YOU DADDY & MOMMY

~~`HOW TO PROVE YOUR LOVE~~`

HOW DO YOU PROVE YOU LOVE A CHILD THAT IS 1/2 WAY AROUND THE WORLD. WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT BELLAS PICTURE FOR MANY MONTHS NOW. YES AND PRAYING FOR HER AND US TO BE TOGETHER. IT SEEMS HARD TO PROVE YOU LOVE AND WILL LOVE THIS CHILD FOREVER. IT WAS EASY TO PROVE WE LOVED OUR OTHER ADOPTED CHILDREN. THEY HAVE BEEN WITH US FROM BIRTH OR A FEW MONTHS OLD AND THEY LIVED WITH US THE WHOLE TIME. WE DID FOSTER/ADOPT FOR 8 YEARS. SO WE HAVE TAKEN CARE OF A LOT OF CHILDREN. YES WE LOVE THEM ALL. WE NEVER JUDGE THEM BY WHAT THEY CAN DO OR CANNOT DO. WE LOVE THEM ALL THE SAME.


OUR OTHER ADOPTED CHILDREN ALSO HAVE SPECIAL NEEDS. THEY BETWEEN THEM HAVE A LOT OF DIFFERENT DIAGNOSIS. FETAL ALCOHOL SYNDROME, FETAL ALCOHOL EFFECTS, ODD, SENSORY DISORDERS,ADHD, ONE OF OUR CHILDREN WAS BORN WITH DRUGS IN HER SYSTEM, TWO HOLES IN HER HEART, AND THEY THOUGHT HER BRAIN WAS CALCIFYING.SHE ALSO HAD TWO URINARY BLOCKAGES.NEVER SLEPT. SHE WAS AWAKE 15 OR 16 TIMES A NIGHT. SHE IS STILL VERY WOUND UP ALL THE TIME. SHE HAD TO BE RESUSCITATED AT BIRTH . THANK GOD THEY DID. SHE IS THE HIGH LIGHT OF MY LIFE. SHE IS JUST LIKE ME , WE LOVE HER AND ALL OF THEM SO MUCH. ONE OF OUR OTHER CHILDREN . WAS SHAKEN AS A BABY AND ALSO BORN WITH FETAL ALCOHOL SYNDROME. SHE IS VERY BEAUTIFUL AND WE LOVE HER VERY MUCH ALSO. WE HAVE WORKED REALLY HARD WITH HER SO SHE COULD LEARN. IT TOOK HER 11 MONTHS TO LEARN TO SAY MILK. SHE IS VERY DETERMINED TO LEARN AND DO THINGS. THAT IS GOOD TO A POINT. SHE ALSO WILL HELP ANYTIME SHE IS NEEDED. ALSO OUR CHILDREN DO HAVE DELAYS, BUT WE DON'T WORRY TO MUCH ABOUT THEM. WE JUST TEACH EACH ONE OF THEM WHAT WE CAN. HOPEFULLY THEY WILL GROW UP AND LOVE AND RESPECT OTHER PEOPLE FOR WHO THEY ARE AND NOT FOR WHAT THEY CAN DO.

WE HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO ADOPT CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS AND DOWN SYNDROME.WE LOVE CHILDREN FOR WHO THEY ARE NOT WHAT ANY OF THEM CAN DO. ALTHOUGH WE WORK HARD WITH THEM TO TEACH THEM EVERYTHING WE CAN. WE KNOW THEY WILL ALWAYS HAVE DELAYS,NOT SURE OF HOW MANY DELAYS. BUT WE WILL TEACH THEM ALL WE CAN AND GO FROM THERE.

WE ARE STILL WAITING FOR A TRAVEL DATE TO GO GET OUR NEW DAUGHTER. SEEMS WE HAVE TO PROVE WE WILL LOVE HER EVEN THOUGH SHE HAS DELAYS. WELL WE THINK THAT IS NOT HARD TO LOVE HER , BUT WILL BE HARD TO SHOW SOMEONE IN 5-10 DAYS. I SURE HOPE WE CAN PROVE TO THIS PERSON WE WILL LOVE HER FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES AND HERS. SHE WILL BE SO LOVED AND SPOILED ROTTEN. WE HAVE GOT EVERYTHING READY FOR HER TO GET HOME.


DON'T LET PEOPLE TELL YOU ADOPTION IS THE EASY WAY TO HAVE CHILDREN, I WILL TELL YOU IT IS NOT. ADOPTION IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. IT WILL RIP YOUR HEART OUT MANY TIMES BEFORE YOU GET YOU BABY OR CHILD AND MANY TIMES LATER. BUT WE WILL ADOPT CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS BECAUSE WE LOVE THEM DEARLY. NOT FOR WHAT THEY CAN OR CAN NOT DO.

WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO ADOPT ANOTHER CHILD FOR ALMOST 1 YEAR NOW. WE HAVE TRIED DOMESTIC ADOPTION, FOSTER/ADOPT, AND NOW INTERNATIONAL ADOPTION. IT IS ALL VERY EMOTIONAL . IT PULLS VERY HARD ON YOUR HEART. WOULD I ADVISE SOMEONE TO ADOPT SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN. YES,YES,AND YES. THEY ARE SO LOVING , KIND AND WORTH ALL THE TIME TO TEACH THEM. SO IF YOU WANT TO OR ARE LOOKING TO ADOPT GO TO http://www.reecesrainbow.com/ ,THEY HAVE A LOT OF CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS THERE. THEY ALL NEED LOVING MOMMIES AND DADDY'S TO TAKE CARE OF THEM AND SHOW THEM LOVE AND AFFECTION. WE ALL NEED FAMILY. FAMILY CAN MAKE THE DIFFERENCE IN A CHILDS LIFE. WE SPEND ALL OF OUR TIME WITH OUR CHILDREN. WE LOVE TO TRAVEL WITH THEM AND DO EVERTHING WE CAN WITH ALL OF THEM.

PLEASE SAY A PRAYER FOR US THAT WE CAN PROVE WE WILL LOVE BELLA FOR EVER NO MATTER WHAT SHE CAN OR WILL DO.


WE LOVE YOU BELLA SOOO MUCH!!!! WE HOPE WE SEE YOU SOON. SENDING YOU HUGS AND KISSES. LOVE MOMMY AND DADDY. HOPE TO SEE YOU IN A FEW WEEKS.

~~~JUST TO LET US KNOW~~~

A MESSAGE FROM OUR FACILITATOR.. The translator/lawyer will be absent from her job from October 5th till 15th.Any way I don't expect to get a travel date earlier than October 15th,maybe later..But I can only suppose,I must talk to the ministry officials,and will let you know about it.

PLEASE PRAY FOR PATIENCE FOR ME, IT IS GETTING SO HARD TO WAIT FOR A TRAVEL DATE.. WE WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAVE OUR NEW DAUGHTER HOME BACK IN JUNE. THAT DIDN'T WORK, WE THEN WERE HOPING FOR SEPT,NO GO KNOW I DON'T KNOW IF WE WILL EVEN TRAVEL IN OCT. NOBODY CAN TAKE VACATION AT THE SAME TIME. THEY ALL WAIT FOR THE MINISTRY OFFICIALS TO COME BACK THEN THEY ALL TAKE TURNS GOING ON A VACATION. I SURE HOPE WE CAN GET BELLA HOME FOR HALLOWEEN!!!!!!

THE KIDDOS LOVE TO GO THERE AND FEED THE DUCKS BREAD, THEY PRACTICALLY COME UP TO YOU AND TAKE IT RIGHT OUT OF YOUR HAND.THE TREES ALONG THE TRAIL ARE STARTING TO CHANGE COLORS SO IT WAS A VERY NICE WALK. FALL IN MONTANA IS A FAVORITE OF OURS WITH THE CHANGING COLORS AND COOLING TEMPERATURES (LOWER
30'S AT NIGHT) SO HOPEFULLY WE WILL HAVE A LONG INDIAN SUMMER.JODY IS PUTTING THE FINAL TOUCHES ON EVERYTHING WE NEED TO DO TO TRAVEL, SHE HAS PACKED AND REPACKED SO MUCH THAT MOST OF THE ZIPPERS ON OUR LUGGAGE NO LONGER WORK (JUST KIDDING).
HOPEFULLY WE WILL GET A TRAVEL DATE SOON.BELLA WE LOVE YOU AND WE WILL HAVE YOU IN OUR ARMS SOON.

I WANT TO HOLD AND SNUGGLE THE LITTLE CHILDREN THAT ARE THERE. I WANT TO GIVE THEM A BLANKET AND A GREAT BIG HUG, MAYBE EVEN A KISS. WE WOULD LOVE TO BRING THE CHILDREN ALOT OF THINGS, BUT MOST OF ALL WE WOULD LOVE TO BRING THEM A MOMMY OR _ AND A DADDY TO LOVE THEM FOREVER. WE THINK ABOUT THE ORPHAN CHILDREN ALOT . MOST OF ALL THE CHILDREN WITH DOWN SYNDROME. WE FEEL WE HAVE A CALLING TO LOVE AND CARE FOR SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN. WE LOVE THEM VERY DEARLY.SO IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT ADOPTING A SPECIAL NEEDS CHILD, CONTACT ANDREA AT http://www.reecesrainbow.org/ . SHE WILL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE THESE LITTLE CHILDREN ALL FIND HOMES. IF YOU CANNOT ADOPT , MAYBE YOU CAN SPONSOR ONE OF THE CHILDREN TO HELP THEM FIND THERE FOREVER FAMILIES. JUST THINK WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE, NO MOMMY OR DADDY TO ROCK YOU TO SLEEP , GIVE YOU A KISS OR A GREAT BIG HUG, MOST OF ALL TO MAKE SURE YOU GET YOUR BELLY FULL OF FOOD ATLEAST 3 TIMES A DAY. LOVE LOVE AND MORE LOVE CAN DO A LOT FOR A CHILD. WE ALL HAVE SO MUCH, WHEN THEY HAVE SO LITTLE. PLEASE THINK ABOUT THE LITTLE CHILDREN WHO HAVE NOTHING!!!!REECES RAINBOW ALSO HAS A ANGEL PAGE, THESE CHILDREN HAVE OTHER SPECIAL NEEDS, THEY DON'T HAVE DOWN SYNDROME.

~~WE LOVE OUR BABY~~

WE LOVE OUR NEW DAUGHTER TO BE. SOON WE HOPE TO TRAVEL ACROSS THE WORLD TO GO GET HER. SHE IS VERY BEAUTIFUL TO US, SHE WAS BORN WITH SOMETHING A LITTLE EXTRA~DOWN SYNDROME~~ . WE LOVE HER SO MUCH ALREADY AND CAN'T WAIT TO HAVE HER HOME WITH US.

WHEN OUR DAUGHTER GETS HOME SHE WILL HAVE A FULL MEDICAL CHECK UP BY OUR PED- DOCTOR, AND ALSO OUR PED EYE DOCTOR. SHE WILL SEE ALL THE SPECIALISTS THAT ARE PED DOCTOR SUGGESTS. WE PRAY SHE IS HEALTHY AND THAT NOTHING MEDICAL IS WRONG . WE DO KNOW THAT SHE HAS SOME DELAYS, THAT WE WILL WORK ON . WE HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE WORKING WITH D.DELAYED CHILDREN, AND WE LOVE ALL OUR CHILDREN THE SAME.

SOMEONE LEFT A LINK ON OUR BLOG http-www.msnbc.msn.com-id-26437081

SO I WENT TO SEE WHAT IT WAS. IT IS ABOUT A LITTLE ONE YEAR OLD BABY THAT HAS EYE CANCER. THE CANCER WAS NOTICED FROM SOMEONE ON LINE THAT THE MOTHER WAS E-MAILING WITH. THIS PERSON TOLD THE MOTHER THAT HER BABY HAD EYE CANCER AND NEEDED TO SEE THE DOCTOR. I THOUGHT WHY WAS THIS PERSON LEAVING THIS LINK FOR ME. THEN I WENT BACK AND LOOKED AT BELLA'S PICTURE, SURE ENOUGH SHE HAS A REFLECTION IN HER EYE. WE HOPE AND PRAY IT IS JUST THE GLARE FROM THE CAMERA. IF NOT SHE WILL HAVE MEDICAL CHECK UPS ASAP. AFTER SHE GETS HOME WITH US. WE HOPE TO TRAVEL TO HER COUNTRY VERY SOON. SO WE HOPE TO HAVE HER SEE OUR PED-DOCTOR WITH IN 6 WEEKS WE HOPE, OR SOONER. I DON'T KNOW WHETHER TO THANK THIS PERSON FOR LETTING US KNOW. I SURE WILL BE PRAYING THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH HER EYE. WE WILL TAKE CARE OF IT , IF THERE IS SOMETHING. SHE IS OURSOON TO BE DAUGHTER AND WE LOVE HER DEARLY ALREADY .

I WILL SAY IT AGAIN!!!! WE DO NOT BASE OUR LOVE ON DELAYS, DIAGNOSIS OF MEDICAL OR ANY THING ELSE. WE LOVE ALL OF OUR CHILDREN FOR WHO THEY ARE . NOT FOR WHAT THEY CAN DO OR WILL DO. OUR CHILDREN ARE OUR CHILDREN AND THAT IS THAT. WE LOVE THEM ALL SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOD BLESS YOU BELLA , WE HOPE TO HAVE YOU HOME SOON. LOVE ALWAYS MOMMY & DADDY.

MORE UPDATED INFORMATION

WE HEARD FROM OUR FACILITATOR AGAIN TODAY ON THE PROGRESS OF MAGDA/ISABELLA'S PAPERWORK, IT SOUNDS LIKE EVERYTHING IS GOING WELL. IT IS VERY COMFORTING TO GET THESE UPDATES AS OFTEN AS WE DO AND MAKES US REALIZE THAT WE ARE ACTUALLY NEAR THE END OF OUR JOURNEY. WE ARE VERY EXCITED TO BE TRAVELING SOON TO A BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY AND MEET OUR PRECIOUS ANGEL. WE ARE HOPING TO TRAVEL AND HAVE MAGDA/ISABELLA HOME WITH US BEFORE HALLOWEEN. OUR LITTLE ONES AT HOME ARE ALREADY DISCUSSING WHAT ISABELLA IS GOING TO DRESS UP AS FOR HALLOWEEN AND HOPEFULLY TAKE HER TRICK-OR-TREATING. WE ARE GOING INTO A VERY FUN TIME OF THE YEAR FOR KIDS AND WE CAN'T WAIT FOR ISABELLA TO BE PART OF OUR FAMILY AND ENJOY ALL THE FUN TIMES WITH US.

PATIENTLY WAITING

WE HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH OUR FACILITATOR AND HOPEFULLY WE WILL BE GETTING A TRAVEL DATE SOON. WE REALIZE EVERYTHING TAKES TIME TO ACCOMPLISH, BUT WE ARE FINDING IT VERY DIFFICULT WAITING TO TRAVEL TO GET OUR LITTLE PRINCESS. WE HAVE HEARD FROM SHELLY (ADOPTED GRIFYN) AND SHE SPOKE VERY HIGHLY OF THE BABYHOUSE WE WILL BE VISITING WHEN WE MEET MAGDA/ISABELLA. SHE SAID IT WAS VERY NICE AND NEAT AND THE CARETAKERS AND THE OTHER STAFF DID A FANTASTIC JOB TAKING CARE OF ALL THE CHILDREN.OUR LITTLE ONES AT HOME ARE CONSTANTLY TALKING ABOUT THEIR NEW LITTLE SISTER AND HOW AND WHO WILL TEACH HER EVERYTHING.WE ARE VERY THANKFUL FOR GETTING UPDATED PICTURES OF OUR LITTLE ANGEL AS OFTEN AS WE DO, SO WE KNOW SHE IS DOING GREAT AND SEE HOW WELL SHE IS BEING CARED FOR.

OUR CHILDREN MEAN THE WORLD TO US, AND WE REALIZE EACH ONE IS DIFFERENT AND SPECIAL IN THEIR OWN WAY. WE KNOW MAGDA/ISABELLA WILL FIT INTO OUR FAMILY VERY WELL, AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO LEARN FROM HER AS WELL AS TEACHING HER MANY NEW THINGS,ESPICALLY THE LOVE AND CARE OF HAVING A NEW FOREVER FAMILY TO LOVE HER.

ISABELLA WE LOVE YOU VERY MUCH AND WE ARE GETTIG SO CLOSE TO COMING TO GET YOU AND BRING YOU HOME TO MEET YOUR SIBLINGS.TAKE CARE SWEETIE AND WE WILL BE THERE SOON. LOVE YOU VERY MUCH MOMMY & DADDY

~~~ PACKING AND UNPACKING THINGS~~~

OK: HOW DO YOU PACK FOR TWO WEEKS, FOR HUBBY , MYSELF AND OUR NEW LITTLE ONE. I SEEM TO OVER PACK. I HAVE UNPACKED OUR TOTE BAGS, OVER AND OVER. I AM NOT SURE OF HOW MANY TOYS TO BRING FOR BELLA, OR HOW MANY OUTFITS TO BRING. YES WE HAVE ALOT OF EACH AND I SEEM TO THINK I NEED TO BRING EVERYONE OF THEM WITH US. THAT IS UNTIL I PICK UP THESE BAGS. THEY GET PRETTY HEAVY. I SURE WISH I COULD BRING ABOUT 3 CASES OF DIET MOUNTAIN DEW. I DON'T KNOW HOW I AM GONNA FUCNTION WITHOUT MY DIET DEW.


WE STILL NEED TO LINE UP A WAY TO TALK TO OUR FAMILY WHEN WE TRAVEL. OUR CELL PHONES WON'T WORK IN E.E. WE SURE WILL NEED INTERNET WHEN WE ARE THERE. THERE IS NO WAY I COULD GO WITHOUT DIET DEW AND NO INTERNET... OH WELL. WE ARE TRYING TO GET ALL THE GIFTS TOGETHER THAT WE NEED TO BRING WITH US. I JUST THINK I HAVE ENOUGH, THEN I TALK TO SOMEBODY ELSE AND FIND OUT WE NEED MORE. WE ARE NOT SURE IF WE SHOULD BRING SOME THINGS FOR SOME OF THE OTHER CHILDREN. WE SURE CAN'T WAIT TO MEET BELLA. HER BROTHER AND SISTERS CAN'T WAIT FOR US TO GET HER HOME. THEY ALL HAVE THINGS THEY WANT TO TEACH HER. SHE WILL BE SO LOVED AND CARED FOR HERE WITH HER FOREVER FAMILY!!!!

WE JUST NEED A TRAVEL DATE SO WE CAN START PLANNING WHEN TO TRAVEL TO GET BELLA AND WHEN TO RETURN HOME WITH HER. THAT SOUNDS SO NEAT TO BE PLANNING ON BRINGING HER HOME. IT SEEMS LIKE WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG. BUT IT REALLY HASN'T BEEN TO LONG. I THINK ABOUT 5 MONTHS SO FAR. WE HAVE HER LITTLE LOG BED READY FOR HER. ALL HER TOYS AND CLOTHES ARE READY ALSO. DIAPERS AND WIPES ARE BOUGHT. FLEECE BLANKETS ARE MADE FOR HER, AND LOTS OF STUUFFED ANIMALS ON HER BED. WE STILL DON'T KNOW IF SHE DRINKS FROM A SIPPY CUP OR WHAT. SO WE HAVE SOME OF EACH. I WILL BRING SOME WITH SOFT NIPPLES ALSO.

WE ARE PRAYING IT WON'T BE TO LONG BEFORE WE HEAR FROM THE MINISTRY OFFICIALS ON A TRAVEL DATE. I LIKE TO PLAN AHEAD YOU KNOW, GET ALL MY DUCKS IN A ROW. I NEED TO GET THE KIDDOS SCHOOL WORK READY FOR THE TWO WEEKS WE WILL BE GONE. ALSO THEIR MED'S THAT THEY TAKE . THEY HAVE ALLERGIES AND NEED TO HAVE THERE LISTS OUT FOR BIG SISTER AND GRANDMA SO THEY CAN CHECK TO MAKE SURE WHAT EACH OF THEM IS ALLERGIC TO. MEGAN AND DEZTANY HAVE ALOT OF FOOD ALLERGIES. SO THEY NEED TO WATCH THE FOOD THEY EAT. THEY ALSO HAVE ALOT OF OTHER ALLERGIES. DEZTANY REALLY NEEDS SISTER OR GRANDMA TO WATCH WHAT SHE EATS. DEZTANY WILL EAT ANYTHING EVEN IF SHE IS ALLERGIC TO IT. SHE TELLS ME WELL I LIKE IT , IT TASTES GOOD. SHE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THAT IT CAN HURT HER. SO THEY WILL NEED TO REALLY WATCH HER FOR HER OWN SAFTEY.

I THINK MCKENZIE WILL HELP KEEP AN EYE ON HER LITTLE SIBLINGS ALSO. SHE IS LIKE A TEENAGER, SHE WILL HELP KEEP THEM ON THERE TOES. MCKENZIE WILL NEED TO SHOW GRANDMA HOW TO USE THE COMPUTER WHILE WE ARE GONE. GRANDMA DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO BLOG, GET E-MAIL OR TO DO TO MUCH FOR THAT MATTER ON THE COMPUTER. SHE THINKS IT IS A BIG SET OF CARDS. SHE LIKES TO PLAY CARDS ON HER COMPUTER. SO SHE WILL HAVE TO LEARN FROM MCKENZIE.

ANDREWS NEW THING AS OF TODAY IS HUNTING FOR BIRDS. HIM AND OUR GRANDSON CAMREM SPENT ALL DAY OUTSIDE HUNTING IN THE YARD OF COURSE FOR BIRDS. THEY TOLD US THEY WERE GONNA GET BIRDS FOR DINNER. SO DON'T COOK. THEY WERE MAD WHEN I STARTED COOKING DINNER. BUT I TOLD THEM THEY CAN HUNT TOMORROW AND THEN COOK BIRDS IF THEY GET SOME. CAMREN SAID THE BIRDS WILL TASTE LIKE CHICKEN. THEY WILL BE YUMMY. SO I JUST HAVE TO BELIEVE HIM. NOT SURE I EVERY WANT TO TASTE LITTLE BIRDS FROM OUR BACK YARD. THEY WERE BOTH SO EXCITED TO BE HUNTING ALL DAY. THEY MADE A LITTLE FORT BY THE BIG TREE IN THE YARD AND TOLD US THAT IS WERE THEY HUNT. SO LOOK OUT LITTLE BIRDIES, THE HUNTERS WILL BE BACK TOMORROW!!!!
