Any assistance would be great!
Email me at boomerseyler@yahoo.com please.
new Olympic tallyWell Ukraine is moving forward in the Olympics- they are now in tenth place overall for country medals! Way to go!
Here are the newest totals
One Step CloserYes,I have been holding back on the possible fourth (and final- LOL) adoption for the Seyler clan.
I had an email from my facilitator that sort of threw me off. Let us just say, that she said why not adopt more then just one! Maybe it was HER way of telling me that she is over us saying we are finished and showing back up two or three years later- LOL! In other words, quit doing one at a time!
Actually, my facilitator and I are the best of long distance friends.
When she asked me the question, I did wonder why not?
In the long run, maybe it is God's plan for me? I know it is never our plan. We planned for ONE. The golden child. The single child. The kid who got what he wanted. No funds for a second. That of course was before we left Russia and turned to Ukraine.
And we got our child and didnt take out a second mortgage as Ukraine was way cheaper then Russia.
Then, two years later we returned.
Then somehow again for a third and last.
But, something keeps us coming back. I cannot have a bio child. Perhaps, this is all a bigger plan and bigger picture. Perhaps it is my duty. I do not know. I just know that I have children waiting for me in Ukraine. I thought I was finished but something is calling us back.
Tonight at dinner, I asked Larry are we doing this and we both laughed. We know what it takes. We know we have more children or a child waiting. But, we also know how hard the process is and the whole experience. One baby step and we are there. I have the packet. I just need to sign and date and begin again. OlympicsI have a confession...
I LOVE the Olympics!
I am a bit addicted this year. Okay, I am a LOT addicted.
Gymnastics is always my personal favorite but I was wondering, where is the Ukraine team?
I remember prior years when the girls were always quite competitive. Checking the country standings, they did have a woman's team, but it looks like they did not do perform very well. In fact, they did pretty poorly. Still, I love to root for all of the Ukraine atheletes!
Anyway, I did notice Ukraine's medal count was the following as of today:
Hmmm...maybe I will forgo the gymnastics for now and buy the kids a bale of hay and an archery set!
08/08/08 (crossposted)Today is a special day. It is 08/08/08. That alone is pretty cool. What makes it even more special is that it is someone's birthday. Today is Vitaly's ninth birthday.
Nine.
What a big number.
What a milestone for a child that was labeled "failure to thrive" and would have been a possible long-term orphanage sentence, if he had not been adopted.
A child that weighed 11 pounds at fifteen months old.
 (so tiny)A baby that didn't know how to eat solid foods, had his little hands clenched in fists (taught so he would not touch the bottle!), a baby that had barely smiled or laughed or had the chance to crawl (if ever). A baby that had been turned "down" by another family.
 (here he is having a cookie for the first time, one itty bitty piece at a time)Luckily, we saw past the imperfections and labels and saw a child needing a family. We found our son.
 (mommy meets her son-notice his little fist)Today he is a happy, healthy, very tall, silly, friendly boy. A boy that still needs some TLC.
A boy just looking for lots of fun and adventure, the way all boys do.
 Happy Birthday Vitaly!
May all of your wishes be blessed! (and no you will not be getting a real "Hummer"-but it is okay to still wish)
