Wow, I think I may have caught up on my sleep by now. After a rough ride to Albion, MI, 4 hrs from us, we made it to the hospital for Abigail's surgery. She did well and looks like Princess Leigha from Star Wars. Dr. Kim had to cut on both ears. She had to harvest cartilage and skin form the left ear for the right ear. Of course "A" woke up nastier and meaner than ever. pretty typical with the steroids for her breathing and the pain medicine. We were finally able to leave and realized we were missing 2 hubcaps and had a HUGE flat tire. The rim was destroyed. GRRRRRRRR. But as with all things God steps in. There was a Firestone shop across the street and one block down. The man tells us they do not carry my rim and it will take 6 hours to get one in. GRRRRRRRRRRR. Again God stepped in. It turns out I do not have a donut for a spare but a full size beautiful tire. It cost 15 dollars to switch it over. The best 15 dollars I have spent in a long time. We get five minutes from home and "A" projectile vomits all over the car. Oh Well we're home. We had to get another Rx for the tummy. The pain meds make her sick. But all in all she is fine.
The reason we had to be home that night was just as critical as the surgery itself. We had court the next day to finalize our "C"'s adoption. What a great day. It was such a blessing to see all the support at the court house. She is an amazing young lady.

Hi Julia:
As fellow-members of the Yahoo Group, may we welcome you to our midst. We've enjoyed the story of your daughter Caroline, as well as the links to your family. It is mutual sharing such as yours that we're all encouraged and empowered as parents, namely adoptive-parents.
You're joining us as the Group is in the midst of celebrating Wyatt Harris'
recent heart-warming success story of his personal quest in bringing a closure to his identity--a re-union with his birth-family!
Being bilingual, and through the links which Wyatt had shared with us, together with the many
comments & reporting thereof, we're also able to identify with the local people in the City of Ma-An-Shan, China. Therefore, in the afterglow of this celebration, we also need to remind ourselves that there still exists a real sense of apprehension, in the hearts & minds of these folks (birth-parents in general) in coming out of the closet (to meet their long-lost child), even if & when the opportunity should offer itself.
May the Lord continue to bless you & your family with love, patience & wisdom, in helping all of your children in these formative years of their lives.
Blessings,
Alex (of Eva & Alex (Harrison's parents)
