Still waiting for the wheelchair

Poor Sergei still waits for his special wheelchair. He cannot sit or hold up his head so a wheelchair was ordered in July. I never realized how long it took to get necessary equipment for people with special physical needs. He has grown 3 inches in length since he has come home! He is getting too long for the stroller and high chair. He had gained over ten pounds but is still thin. This past week he had his 72 hour EEG. This was very uncomfortable for him. Hopefully this will give us better answers on his brain activity.
Meanwhile we continue at a not fast enough pace to bring home a couple more kiddos in desperate need. Thank you for your help in getting these kids home. This is not easy after just finishing our adoption this spring and medical bills! We are so blessed!
If you are able to donate, any amount is such a gift! You can donate at reecesrainbow.org/sponsorharlin-2
Have a beautiful day!

New faces, New Places

As we begin our new adoption journey, we are excited to travel to new places and see new faces! Until our journey is done, we cannot reveal where little Harlin children number 10 and 11 are located! So no guessing please! Just know they are across the ocean and both children selected are children with special needs, that are so desperate for a family and medical help! Sergei is waiting for his wheelchair! We are praying it will be here soon. It would be so helpful for him! Crosby is getting into everything and loves all the new things he discovers. So wish there was less paperwork with the new adoption but it actually is more with changes in US requirements. It is amazing that kids ever get to their new families with all the things that need to get done, so one piece of paper at a time!
