Sometimes Things Just Do Not Make Sense

WOW, sometimes things just do not make sense to us. Here we have been working on this adoption for over a year and we are just two weeks from going to Texas to meet our newest little guy. What happens.....things. Just things happen. Seems the right questions were not asked and things are now not adding up the way that they need to add up in order for us to bring him home. Our worker here in Nevada is not happy with the way things are unfolding and he is basically telling us to stop and to see if things will start to make sense to him and to the entire adoption unit really. So here we sit, with a room ready, all things in place, children that are excited about getting a new brother and we are caught in the middle of things that were not asked and things that do not add up.

Sometimes things just hurt and do not make sense. Now a little boy may not have a home to come to and a family does not have a new little boy to call their own.

This much we do know. God is in control. He has a perfect plan and He loves this little guy more than we ever could. He is taking care of him even where he is right now. If he is meant to come home to us, then it will all work out. So for now, we sit, we keep on keeping on with our lives and doing what we do best. Being a family.

If you have time, just say a little prayer for this boy. His name is Anthony and if we are not meant to be his family, then we want a family to come forward for him soon. He deserves his own family.

Prayers for Anthony, and many hugs for the Simon family. We miss you over on the group Roberta- but I'm thinking of you and this struggle, and hoping that little boy is lucky enough to get to call your family his own. He'll be blessed beyond measure. I'm well... just miss you a lot!

Prayers are being said for your family daily by me. Your family is such an amazing family. You have taken in a bunch of special kids and made them a whole family with all the love & care they need. Wish there was more families like yours.Take care and I miss you in the group.

TOTALLY AMAZING NEWS

WOW, first of all, I am in shock with the email that I have received. It is unreal that someone even thinks this highly about this family. We see us as a mom and a dad to many children...that is true....but something this wonderful...well, I am not sure about that. Rather than try to explain it, here are excerpts from the email.... The nationwide famous and wealthy PEW Foundation contacted us at Sierra Association of Foster Families.. they asked us to give them info on a family in Nevada who has adopted children and who is AN OUTSTANDING ADOPTIVE FAMILY in our state.. I wrote the nomination about you two.. and your family WHEN you win.. you will be invited ( i'm sure all expenses paid) to Capital Hill to receive the CONGRESSIONAL COALITION ADOPTION ANGEL AWARD and a big dinner with the politicians including maybe... First Lady Laura Bush..so.. you are nominated per us at SAFF... tell your children.. put it on your blog..to us the Merrill Simon Family is the OUTSTANDING ADOPTIVE FA...

PROUD DAY TO BE PARENTS :o)

I am not too sure that it gets much better than this at this stage of life. I wanted to post this yesterday, but I just ran out of time. Merrill and I received a letter informing us that LisaMarie was in the second grade math Olympics at school. Now this in and of itself is a huge accomplishment. Only the top five students from each class were chosen. So Merrill took off and I got a babysitter for MacGyver. Off we went. Now I am a little sadden to say that we did not really expect much to happen. We felt it an honor that LisaMarie had made it this far. We got there a little early, got a good seat and sat back to enjoy the competition. Oh my, let me tell you we were on the edge of our seats after about three rounds. LisaMarie was faster than we even knew she could be. She was confident, poised and all together in control, not like her parents sitting out in the crowd. Maybe it helps to be the only girl at home with so many boys, you tend to have it more together than most....LOL. Roun...

MALACHI ISAIAH-JACOB SIMON

Malachi Isaiah-Jacob Simon October 22, 1990 to July 29, 1997 Today it has been ten years since Malachi passed away. Who would have thought that life would continue to go on...not me. I thought it would end that very day or soon there after. No parent should ever have to loose a child so young, but they do, every day. It is hard and your heart aches so much so you know it will break and never heal....but it does. Somehow life goes on and with each day that passes you get a little stronger and your become a better person because of the one that you loved so very much. Malachi taught us so very much and he gave us the courage to become the parents that we are. It was Malachi that taught us we could do what we thought to be the impossible. He showed us that we could love what society says was the unlovable. He showed us that if you just laugh and take life at a much slower pace you could actually have fun with it all. He taught us that tires really do not taste all that bad. :o) Malachi sh...
