Josseline's birthday party was a big hit. Thanks to Shay's wonderful foster family, we had a pinata (that was almost as big as me,) a delicious chocolate cake, and lots of kids which, I think, made it extra special for Josie. She had a smile on her face almost that whole day.
The pink dress that she is wearing was made by Sammy's mom. She had made one each for Haley and Aubrey about five years ago for their birthdays. I brought one for Josie to wear because it is the perfect party dress. She loved it. I know she felt like a princess all day; and I am so happy that I could do that for her.

Friends, Glen and Melanie were in Guatemala picking up their son, Christian. They also attended Josie's party. They all had a great time, that is until Shay bit sweet Christian's finger. (I think Shay thought it was some kind of *love bite* because he wouldn't stop
hugging and kissing him moments earler.)

Carla,
She looked very happy at her party. I got teary eyed watching the video. She seemed care-free if just for a short time. She will treasure that video someday.
Big hugs!

She looks like she had a lot of fun at her party. It has to be so hard for her to trust that she might really be able to be happy again. She will always remember what a great day that was!!
Hi Carla,
Abby used to tell me that her Mom was at school or at work and she was going to come back and get her.
Now, 3 years later she tells me how glad she is that I'm her Mom.
It's one HARD adjustment. But Lord knows, and with prayer and the help of a councler we got throught it.
Abby's biggest issue was, SHE was the caretaker and SHE had to make sure the bio-mom was OK, ate, etc.
The issue still comes up.
God bless you my friend. Hang on to Him.
