Oakley's SN is not visible either, and like your family, we've decided that her medical history is hers, and hers alone, to share with whom she wants when she's old enough to make an informed decision. Her BIGGEST need was to have a family to lover her, adore her and advocate for her. And that need, along with her medical needs, have been met:).<BR/><BR/>I can't wait to follow another one of your journeys. Blessings to you and your precious family.Janahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06035827887562512833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2407066567804337680.post-22427834102785109242008-10-16T01:36:00.000-04:002008-10-16T01:36:00.000-04:00LOVE following your blog, Em!

This is the same reason I don't talk about the situation around their abandonment, issues they are having, etc. You are an AWESOME big sis and I love your blog. I am so excited to follow your journey to Kate!<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>CarenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2407066567804337680.post-62452632616032541932008-10-15T17:16:00.000-04:002008-10-15T17:16:00.000-04:00Caren, I completely understand what you say about ...Caren, I completely understand what you say about how sharing Kate's need would help other families considering it. I feel the same way! However, it is AnnaClaire's thing to share, not ours. Kate's need is extremely visible, so people are going to know whether or not I say anything about it. AnnaClaire's need is not visible, so we have decided to keep it within the family. <BR/><BR/>By the way, I love the names of your kids! Congrats on the paperchase for number 4!<BR/><BR/>-EmilyEmilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07788306804689485437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2407066567804337680.post-63541758510492177352008-10-15T17:14:00.001-04:002008-10-15T17:14:00.001-04:00Hi Emily,I have a bit of a looney question, but I ...Hi Emily,<BR/><BR/>I have a bit of a looney question, but I am wonderin', do you think y'all's family will adopt again?

No judgement on that, I was just wondering. The only difference it would make in your blog is that it would help other families considering that need to see what amazing health AnnaClaire is in, and maybe help them with that decision. I know that after reading about Kate's need, I would accept a child with this SN is a minute. Just a though. :-)<BR/><BR/>Caren<BR/>Mommy to Guangxi twins (Annie and Kate) and one JiangXi boy (Jack)<BR/><BR/>Paperchasing (SN) for #4Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
