Good Morning Everyone.....its with HUGE joy that I tell you that our 4 month old flew to Seattle last Friday....Ayanna is now almost "home" she is at Children's Hospital for awhile but not in Florida anymore...For those of you that don't know our adoption story I will share with you...our adoption journey started 4 years ago when we were all ready for a baby....we waited and waited and nothing came of it...we signed up with Betty @ A Little Bit of Heaven and then things started to really happen...but me being impatient and wanting a baby right now we found a birthmom ourselves and the birthmother and her 2 yr old came from FL to live with us and she delivered a beautiful healthy baby girl.....and chose to parent her, so we were all so crushed. Then a year later we heard about an older child from a disrupted adoption and we started that process, but after 5 months he went back to his disrupted home as it wasn't a good fit with our family....so this whole ti me I am thinking "why isn't this happening" and I kept hearing over & over it will happen when GOD says your ready.....and this last May I was at work in the ER when my cell phone rang and the voice on the other end says to me....hello Teresa are you still looking to adopt & I said "yes" and she says a AA baby girl was born with severe special needs....and I said ok and the voice on the other end said no severe special needs and I said "ok, I heard you...I want her...." so I told her that I would call her back at the end of my shift and get all of her information. I called the lady and told her again that we wanted her...she told me that she would start the process....and it's now 4 months later and she is amazing....she was born with no anus, one kidney, and her female organs aren't all hooked up, and she was born with severe trachea malacia. She has had 4 major surgeries thus far and is doing better but we have a long road ahead of u s...She just recently got a new trach and is not having anymore "death spells". She has the most amazing temperament and personality it's such a blessing....It was so hard getting the approvals to have her medically air-lifted to Seattle....just a quick note I had to call the Gov of Florida and he helped alot.....but anyways the adoption is moving right along and she is only 30 minutes away now not 3500 miles away and we are going to be meeting with all of her specialist's this week.....
Ayanna now has her own blog that an amazing friend that has adopted 10 beautiful kid's help me build so you all could see her and know how she is doing...On her blog there is a puzzle that we are selling pieces of for $1.00 you are welcome to buy more than one piece if you chose, but if you could help us pass the link around to all that you know that would be so great......the funds raised from the puzzle will go to Heart of Adoption to finalize her adoption.....I want to thank each of you for taking the time to read "our story"...and wish you all blessings.....and the moral of our story is God will provide and answer your prayers we just have to ask him and be patient......here is the link.....PLEASE pass on to all of your friends, church family, and your facebook friends, and anyone else that you can think of....and we'd love to hear your adoption story too.....after all we are all ONE family.....www.ayannaspuzzle.blogspot.com
