When thoughts of leaving my son goes through my mind
I see images of three beautiful children not yet mine
It starts to paint a future that is one of a kind.
A future of family, and feelings that everything will be just fine.
A future of family, and feelings that everything will be just fine.
What feels like forever will be a short time
It is sad but those kids barely exist
Wouldn't a mama and papa be so sublime
They would leave a world that will never be missed.
They would leave a world that will never be missed.
The clings, the dings, the sounds of a distant choke
Looking, waiting, rocking, knocking
Dreams of future start to go up in smoke
Dreams of future start to go up in smoke
A family coming would be so shocking
I can't wait to show them a love so grand
I can't wait to kiss their faces
I can't wait to hold their sweet hand
Oh the thought and my heart races
The fears start to fade with this reality of mine
I start to get excited of the possibilities in mind
That is when I remember they too are mine
My sweet children will get to leave their pasts behind
My child at home will be just fine
This is the only way they will all have a love so kind
UPDATE ON OUR ADOPTION PROGRESS
We submitted to USCIS in June. For the country we are adopting from that means we are almost to the end. It took weeks for us to get an immigration officer but we finally got one to only find out that our social worker and agency had a mishap or confusion. They didn't get approval from our state which is required before the home study should have been sent to them. We had to wait on an official letter from USCIS and then the SW could submit to the state. The state has not sent the approval yet but it should be this week. We were set to travel in July if this mishap wouldn't have happened, If I look on the bright side it bought us more time because we are not funded for all 3. Needing the approval takes an extra week in normal situations, but forgetting to have it sent in by the professionals has already cost us a month. We had an expedite and as soon as our state gets USCIS the approval we will then get approval from USCIS and be able to submit to our country.The thought of leaving my biological son here during sick season scares me very much. His disease causes muscles weakness so sever that when sick he can't cough, or breath on his own, and often sma children die because of a common cold. [Elizabeth also has SMA] she needs out now, she is dying. We will submit to the country even without full funding due to our family circumstances, this means we wouldn't be able to come home with all 3 but I have huge amounts of faith and hope that funding becomes available so that we will be able to bring all 3 children home.. Our adoption is costing over $50,000 we are still $22,000 short to be fully funded.
CHILDREN WAITING
There are many kids still needing a family.
Meet Phoenix he is a 14 year old boy but due to neglect and starvation he is the size of a toddler. This child was learning to walk until he was transferred to an awful institution where he will spend the rest of his life in a crib bed. He still has time for his family to find him.
A Family for Denzel

Elizabeth has a terminal disease called spinal muscular atrophy just like my son King who we are leaving behind. She is our next child in sight. Her addition to our adoption is 13,000 in fees. We are still $8000 short.

Meet Denzel, this boy has a smile that will light up your entire world, he is in great need of a family. He is in a very urgent state. He is starving and lacking any medical attention. He ages out in January he is 15 years old and the size of a toddler. Denzel needs a family or he will die in a crib. He has barely existed these last 15 years, he has never been held, or known the feelings of love. There is so much a family could give this sweet boy.
Meet Dawn, she is beautiful isn't she. This child is 15 years old and will age out on her next birthday. She was transferred to an adult institution at only 3 years old. She just started walking. She enjoys interacting with adults and playing with toys. Her favorite activities revolve around music which she rarely gets to enjoy.
These are just 3 children, there are 100,000's of orphaned children, most given up by their family due to special needs. I personally have 3 biological children 2 of whom have special needs. They are a joy to my life and my reason to smile. Special needs children are truly special and a joy to have in your life, please consider being a family for those who have none. Many children are waiting from all around the world. Are you their mama and papa... Family for all
