Update

Our agency has had their accredidation suspended by the COA so they are unable to process adoptions. Our adoption has been on hold for almost two months. I have been in contact with other agencies and am trying to switch.

My youngest daughter will be having surgery in 3 weeks on her leg and will be in a cast for about 4 months with a boot for an additional 2-3 months. Surgery is scheduled for Feb 18th.

Brennan is doing amazingly well. He is bilingual in his numbers, colors and some fruit. We are trying our best to keep him bilingual. We are talking to an exchange student at my son's school who might consider working with him on his language. He has been tested and they were amazed that he has tested (vocabulary and comprehension) on a 3 year old level (he is 3!!!!). They were amazed that he has only been here 3 months. I also registered him to begin PreK in August.



We have a Tshirt fundraiser so we can raise funds needed when we switch agencies since we will have to start over :(

Good news and bad news!!!

The bad news is...I heard some troubling news about our  adoption agency which could hinder our process a bit. Please pray for answers and guidance. I plan to call them today. They are under a 15 day suspension with COA. They sent emails out to "some" of their clients but not all and posted it on their website. They are saying that all will resume in 15 days but in past experiences with adoption agencies a 15 day suspension is never just a 15 day suspension. 

The good news is...well...there are a few!!

The auction is doing very well but we are still so far from our goal to be able to pay the first agency fee! Please share the auction link and help us bring Tynsleigh home!!

I know I have said it before but I want to thank the people who helped bring Brennan home. The very last two donations were amazing and I can't thank you enough. I hope some day I will get to thank you in person!! I still have no idea who the one person is but God knows and will bless you.

Since day 1 Brennan has only gone to sleep if I am in bed laying next to him snuggling him tight or rubbing his back or head! He has always slept in my bed. It has been this way for naps and bedtime for the whole 12 weeks we have been his family. I love how he loves to snuggle. Last week we went camping and the 6 of us slept in a 9 person tent. He went to sleep next to his brother (7 years old) and sister (6 years old) with me right in eyesight. Tonight we tried a different routine and he went to his own big boy bed that is 3 feet from his brother (4 years older than him) and he got in bed. Up to this point he has always denied the bed as his. I sat next to him, rubbed his back and held his hand and he fell asleep! He is in his own bed for the first time EVER!! So happy and sad (my baby is already growing up) at the same time! Isn't he the sweetest? Of course!
