Guess who has a birthday coming up

Oh yes, Kara is almost 5, I still think of her as 3, I know nearly two years have gone by since we saw her that first time in Vorzel, but it seems like only yesterday!

I was browsing through some websites and found a link to our blog here:

http://www.ukraineorphans.net/id67.html I am happy we are linked for something good and not bad. I firmly believe that international adoption gives everyone a chance for happiness, both the family the little one is coming into and the child. We have been blessed by 6 children born to us, and adopton was no less miraculous to me! I am so grateful we took that first step despite all the fears we had. It was not easy task, we had to struggle a few times, but everytime I look at Kara (and Amanda) I afeel so grateful their countries allowed them to become our daughters.

There is another little girl waiting for a forever family in Eastern Europe. This is Paula. This year we have agreed to serve as her Christmas Warriors, our goal is two-fold, to help raise money for her grant fund and to help people see her beautiful little face and ask about her; we want her to find her forever family.

We hope you will look for her Chip-in and donate towards her fund, our goal is $1,000.
