Mom to Lexie from Aktau Kazakhstan, whom I adopted between May 20 thur July 20, 2007 (go to those posts if you'd like to read about my time in Kazakhstan.) Lexie is a funny, intelligent, outgoing and sensitive little girl and I couldn't be happier or more blessed to be her mommy.
Hi Lou Ann- We love the updates & pictures, I check your blog multiple times aday. Oh those bathroom pictures! Those camels are something else, they look very DIRTY! It's been nice here, not too hot or rainy. Take Care & say Hi to Mom & Lexie!!
Hi Lou Ann: Lexie couldn't be more beautiful!! I love checking the blog everyday. I'm obsessed. We are praying for court on the 12th and then it's all down hill from there. At least you can have Lexie with you which will make the time pass quicker. You'll be in Almaty before you know it. That part is pretty easy. I love the stories and loved seeing the camels. The closest we got in Astana was the art on the wall. Nice to know the apartments are all decorated the same. The rugs and couches must be standard decor because that is what ours looked like-only a lovely zebra print. Well, Lexie looks like she has been with her mama forever. You look so happy. It just gets better every day!! We are so happy for you. Have you found the rice and carrots that they cook in a big cast iron bowl?? If you can find that, it is pretty good.(and safe-no mystery meat)That is what we ate for a month straight-that and bread. Good thing you took the oatmeal!!! Well, enjoy your weekend and we have our fingers crossed for a speedy court date and a happy judge. Great job on the blog. It is so much fun to read. Take care. Maggie
As I embark on this adventure to Aktau, Kazakhstan to adopt my first child, this painting of a Rose comes to mind. I've always loved how all the adult hands surround and protect the baby's hand but at the same time are open enough for the tiny fist to grow. That's how I see this whole adoption process. So many people with one child's best interest at heart. And with each person giving this child a hand she will bloom into the best person she can be. God has given me a wonderful gift by allowing me to help this child learn and grow. I'm so grateful to all the people who have supported me (and I hope will continue to support me) through this life challenging experience.
