During this whole adoption process, I've made some great friends who are also adopting through Reece's Rainbow. The one whom I have almost daily contact with is Katrina Nine, who is adopting the cutest little redheaded boy that couldn't look more like her if he she had him herself! Can you believe she and her hubby have six kids and none of them got her gorgeous red hair? When Katrina saw little "Ivan" on Reece's Rainbow nearly a year ago, she sent a text with his picture to her husband.
He took one look and replied, "He looks like he could be ours." The rest is history (or at least history in the making!)
The Nines are with the same agency as us and little Vahnya is in an orphanage that is near Anya's. They went to meet him the week before we met Anya. We have been at the same point all the way through the process. They had to wait through the same delays and everything. Katrina and I don't know how we could have made it this far without each other to vent to, rejoice with, or just express our feelings of the day, which can change on a dime. ;)
The Nines have a lot of money to raise in order to pay for their final two trips. They are in much greater need than we are. I would love it if you would hop on over to their blog and help them! Now is your chance to get that iPod Touch that your child wanted for Christmas and you couldn't justify buying! :) They are giving one away to one of their lucky donors this month.
Even ten bucks will help. Anything! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!
ok you did it ,you made me cry.thank you my friend I don't know what I would do without you.
