We were helping to raise money for both Anastasia and Tonya. <br /><br />Unlike you, Tonya is the little girl I have fallen in love with. I pray for her so often to find a family to bring her home and while I would love for it to be our family, I just want someone to love her. <br /><br />I'm thrilled to know you will be going to bring your beautiful daughter home. God bless you on your journey.<br /><br />Blessings<br />LeslieLesliehttp://www.homeschoolblogger.com/LeslieNelsennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1545341191850647989.post-31819432848968620242009-05-26T11:53:12.691-07:002009-05-26T11:53:12.691-07:00Amberlyn,

My son and I have been praying that she and Tonya will get forever families. We discovered the girls on the RR site last fall and my son commented immediately that Anastasia "looks exactly like Whitney". Our Whitney's birthdate is March 3, 2005 and they look sooo much alike that it seems like they are twins!! Wonderful to read about your adoption on your blog and look forward to following it. You can take a look at our Whitney on www.whitneyandmore.blogspot.com she too has Ds. We have been in process of adopting from Haiti since Oct. 2006 so were not able to consider adopting Anastasia & Tonya at this time. We are so happy for you and your family and most especially for Anastasia (Ana) !<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Rosalie & son, MathewRosaliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08178294048599900860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1545341191850647989.post-71518294452180849032009-05-20T06:20:43.613-07:002009-05-20T06:20:43.613-07:00Amberlyn, I'm gillian, we were on chat at RR toget...Amberlyn, I'm gillian, we were on chat at RR together Monday night.<br /><br />I just love this post.

Oh...Your family is an answer to my 9 month prayer! Oh how I have waited for the day that Anastasia would find her forever family! I can not even find the words to how my heart is lifted up with joy and thankfulness for your family. Our family prayed, fasted, and begged Heavenly Father to find a way to bring Anastasia here. Like you she captured my heart and my every thought and dream was for her. Yet no matter how hard I prayed I knew it was not time to bring another child into our home. Andrea promised me she would have a family by Oct., Dec., Jan., March... I will be forever thankful that you saved my little Anastasia. My good thoughts, prayers, and wishes will be with you during this process and forever!<br />Kari Teague<br />teaguetribe@blogspot.com (I haven't kept it up for a long while... but I will soon!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1545341191850647989.post-35590791426860436092009-05-17T11:31:00.000-07:002009-05-17T11:31:00.000-07:00What a great post!

My little sister (14) and I were going over all the children on the site, I'm hoping that she will understand why I want to do this so badly. I started looking at RR about a year ago, and SO many of the kids I've prayed for have found families. It's a miraculous journey and I welcome you to it. Ana has always caught my eye, she's so freaking cute.<br /><br />Praying for you!Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15881590483174001768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1545341191850647989.post-43086268428293178782009-05-15T22:48:00.000-07:002009-05-15T22:48:00.000-07:00felicidades! anastacia is beautifulfelicidades! anastacia is beautifulaliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00487809628835627113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1545341191850647989.post-67062242749458685622009-05-15T19:52:00.000-07:002009-05-15T19:52:00.000-07:00I meant to go to bed early tonight but clicked on ...I meant to go to bed early tonight but clicked on the RR link.

Many adoption agencies do not allow pics to be published before the child is legally yours. Just don't want you to "get in trouble". :) But, she's adorable!<br /><br />#2 I REALLY believed that the Lord had another little girl for us when we adopted, and we went through a couple of possible little girls. But, we brought home 3 children instead of 4. I am always open to another little one, just waiting on His timing and plan. Maybe ... the other little sister will be through the old fashioned way. :) I actually wondered if that would be how we would get our little girl ... but it has not come to pass.<br /><br />#3 God can do AMAZING things for finances. So glad that you are stepping out and TRUSTING Him, as you walk this new journey.<br /><br />I look forward to walking this adoption walk with you, as someone who has "been there done that". As you know, I am in Africa right now, helping another friend walk through the journey, that can get difficult at times.<br /><br />Hugs!<br /><br />LaurelLaurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17253303288242135440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1545341191850647989.post-22757766066917560062009-05-13T21:01:00.000-07:002009-05-13T21:01:00.000-07:00If you do decide to "hop up and down clapping with...If you do decide to "hop up and down clapping with a smile from ear to ear", I'd really appreciate it if you waited for a time when I'm there.
