A Post From Daddy: One Month with Coraline


Well I cannot believe it, but we have had Coraline for 1 month now! It is unbelievable how well our family has come together so far! God has been so good through this process!! You have to take it one day at a time and be patient, but God works everything out. It is so amazing to watch our two daughters ( Emaline from Vietnam and of course Cori from China ) get up in the morning and start out the day hugging each other. They have their moments, but you can tell they absolutely love each other! We could not have written it this way, but God designed it! Cori is learning new words each and every day with the newest ones being........... "No"which she uses mainly with certain foods ( No Surprise ), and "Mine" in reference to certain toys. She loves baths, beach time and swimming with her Jei-Jei. Night time can be a little rough for us, but this too shall pass and we will get full nights of sleep. Cori has actually slept all night 4 times but we sleep so lightly waiting for her to wake up, that rest is hard sometimes. Coraline had never slept by herself before, but is adjusting well in her bunk bed and actually likes her bed now.

As a father of two daughters and a wonderful wife, Life could not be better. Thank you Lord for each day to grow, live, experience new things and the opportunities to learn from them.

I absolutely LOVE to watch as children come home to the very family God chose for them from the beginning of time and see the miracle of family take place! So glad for the advances you are making in her heart and praying for the things (like sleep) that are still to come! And blessed to see this little girl join her family at last!
