Are You My Mommy ?

Please take a look at these beautiful children that are on the shared list (or will be on the shared list soon).  They all have a special need of hearing loss and are so cute.  I can't stand it !

Hearing loss can be a scary special need at first, but there is so much technology now that enables children that have all levels of hearing loss to hear. For example, Maggie wears a BAHA hearing aid on a soft band and she has wonderful hearing as a result.  There are also cochlear inplants that will allow a deaf child access to the hearing world.  Amazing !


This cutie's SN is deafness. Her file is being prepared, if you see her pop up on the shared or an agency list, please comment and let us know! She is in Love Without Boundaries foster care in Qiandongnan.


This is "Sophie" DOB 11-9-08 and it appears she has the same Special Need as Maggie - unilateral microtia/atresia of the left ear.


Sweet Anna is 3 and 1/2 years old and has hearing loss and may be deaf.

This is Riley (DOB 1/1/06). His file is #274 on the June 13th Shared List. His SN is 1.abnormal of acoustic nerve conduction; 2. congenital deformity incorporation and ankylotia of both ears; 3. enorchia


Meet Ruthie. She is with Madison. She was a part of their last camp. You can view her whole file on their yahoo group .Ruthie is a very loving and affectionate child who has been deaf since birth. This sweetie lives in a foster home where she is very loved and is treated as their own. Ruthie is very smart, easy going and independent. She is totally potty trained even at night. She likes to sleep in darkness and also likes to take her daily bath. She is not mute and can clearly say “mama”. We also heard her laugh out loud on occasion during our camp. The only other special need to consider is that she is farsighted and will need eyeglasses.

Ruthie was clearly a favorite of both the orphanage and our staff. She will be a wonderful addition to some lucky family!

The Pizza man.

          The pizza delivery man was just leaving and we were about to close the front door. Suddenly, Maggie ran outside to catch the pizza guy. She had something very important to say !  She yelled from the front porch " Happy Jingle, have a merry jingle, um, I mean, have a merry Christmas ! Merry Christmas !"  We hope you all had a very merry Christmas too !!

Big Milestone !

We're celebrating ! Because Maggie is potty trained !!! For reals.  I started potty training Maggie way back in the summer, but I was not consistent at all.  So, I kind of gave up.  Then, Maggie started a new school and her teacher is known as the "potty whisperer".  Seriously. She is known to magically transform little ones from diapers to potty in just a week. And so she did. It took about a week for her to start going potty. She is even sleeping in her big girl panties - no pull ups - and no accidents at night. We are all so proud of her !  I think Maggie is pretty proud of herself too !
