I can't wait to see the beautiful young lady she will turn into. No physical problem can overcome her sweet, joyful spirit. We have God's promise that He will never leave or forsake us and we can count on His presence as we walk through life. Our Father loves our little girl more than we can and has her right where she needs to be. Our prayers are with all of you. I am anxious to see how God works in this situation.

I have been following your blog for so long,...Jen,<br /><br />I have been following your blog for so long, but I have never posted any comment before. Please know that my family and I have been praying for Wesleigh, you, your family, and all orphans around the world. God will protect her and your family even more than ever before. <br />19 years ago I was at age 18 when the doctor told me I would never be able to have any kids because I had servere endometriosis. I went against my doctor's advise of having a comple hysterectomy. I was in college and passed out several times in class. I dropped out of school, did 3 IVF cycles, and finally God blessed me with a beautiful set of twin girls. I was even more surprise when I got pregnant again naturally when the twins were 3 years old. I was thinking about adoption a lot of time when things were hectic, and I didn't know what to do. God has continued to provide everything that I need and I am sure He will do the same for you. I now have three beautiful daughters under the age of 7. I am now back to school to finish my premed degree.<br />I am from Vietnam and moved to the United States when I was diagnosed. I saw a lot of kids died on the street because they didn't have food nor medical care. I am very thankful to all families in the States and around the world for pouring their hearts for international adoptions. Thank you very much from a bottom of my heart for being WJ's mom, and loving and providing her with a beautiful family. I know WJ will be very happy and sucessful because she now has you and Him, the powerful loving Father.<br /><br />Holly NguyenHollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11360575162554248775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8189441989106924796.post-21808693527352574992010-09-03T07:59:32.325-05:002010-09-03T07:59:32.325-05:00I am just so very grateful that God placed Wesleig...I am just so very grateful that God placed Wesleigh Jane in our family! What a joyful and courageous spirit she has-like her mother. He will continue to provide everything that she needs and everything that you and Richard and the boys need to love and protect her. Even the doctor is not saying she will have problems, and we add to that God's promise to do "exeeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us." We are, of course, here for anything and everything we can offer--most importantly our prayers--but our heavenly Father--well, He's all-powerful, all-loving and never changing! He will never let us down.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17851041860855288469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8189441989106924796.post-30450353957253058772010-09-03T07:28:46.201-05:002010-09-03T07:28:46.201-05:00I'm so sorry that you didn't get the news ...I'm so sorry that you didn't get the news you were hoping for.

My husband and I are almost logged in with China. We had our I-800A fingerprints on Monday and Tuesday this week...we are alsp switching to the SN route...we have reviewed 2 files of children and unforutnately have had to turn them down in fear that they are too 'sick' for us to handle. It has been very diffifult. My hope is that once we officially have a log in date, we will have a good match for us instead of the other way around in us trying to match ourselves with a child. (Because if it was up to me, I would bring all the children home!) <br /><br />Hugs to you as you make the best decsisions you can for that beautiful little girl.

God has plans for this little one and she will be all that God intended!! We are in the same boat with Finley. Her referral said repaired meningocele as well- nothing about a mylo. I too worry about her being teathered and I totally know this is a possiblility that we need to be prepared for. I just have to trust that God clearly chose Finley for our family for a reason and He IS in control!! It is the same with WJ-- God is in control!!!<br /><br />Big hugs,<br /><br />ChristyChristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03077047658906478290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8189441989106924796.post-10899041704620692692010-09-01T23:26:12.203-05:002010-09-01T23:26:12.203-05:00Hi sweetie .... give me a call if you get a chance...Hi sweetie .... give me a call if you get a chance, I have many friends with children who went through the TC surgery as most children with Raegan's condition also have TC.

The pictures of her on your porch in that outfit? Gorgeous!!<br /><br />I really appreciate your candidness about Wj's spina bifida. I remember talking to you and the MOST I took from our conversation was how well equipped you ALREADY were to be Wesleigh's mother. How amazing it was that God had given you the confidence, strength and love that you'd need for her...that hasn't changed.<br /><br />Sending Hugs your way!<br /><br />Sara <br /><br />p.s. I KNOW exactly what you mean about the bruised bodies. I have (2) of them - even with all the padding they wear. {{sigh}} Unfortunately, they are kind getting too old to allow me to take their pictures shirtless, etc :) modesty!

God chose Wesleigh Jane for your precious family at this very time. And, HE will equip you regardless of TeaCup's diagnosis down the road. Today, I will give thanks for the walking miracle that she is! And, of course that I get to be a part of her life, be it long distance!!<br /><br />By the way, that first photo is absolutely darling of her. You captured her perfectly!!!!

And we found that what we are dealing with is not what we were expecting at all... my heart sank as well. But I told myself the very same things....that God spared us the details at referral b/c who knows if that may have deterred us and he certainly wanted her with OUR family.. Good news is, for both of our girls, God knew their conditions all along and had His plan for them that included US! <br />But totally feelin' ya if you want to email me!<br />Prayers coming your way.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01036011829171616692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8189441989106924796.post-72128275545078399382010-09-01T21:14:36.521-05:002010-09-01T21:14:36.521-05:00Oh sweet Jen.
