Life with Kyah

Kyah and a nanny ready for the orphanage "goodbye" ceremony
With our new little daughter finally in our arms again.....
We joyfully leave her orphanage!!!!!!
Kyah at home and in her new crib.
LOVES to look at herself in the mirror!  =)
Checking out her new baby-dolls.
How could I ever say no to those big, brown eyes!!?!
Enjoying her first Zeeland Bakery donut!   yummmm
Bree and Kyah are buds!
She loves music, dancing and playing our piano.
 
Kyah is usually found here...in her chair...eating!  She has gained an entire pound in 3 weeks!
Trick-or-treating with Jesse and Solomon!
She fits in her toy shopping cart which her brothers push her around in.  =)
All cleaned up after her bath and ready for the day.


Our 3 weeks with Kyah home have been so much fun!  She is such a little sweetie and has a wonderful sense of humor.  She sleeps through the night and eats through the day.  LOL!  She gained an entire pound since she's been home (that's a lot for her little body!)  She's now on the charts at 2.67% in weight and 0.05% in height.  Hooray that she's on them now!

Makes me think of all the little ones who remain in orphanages and don't have good nutrition and will never make it on "the charts".  How is this fair?  My heart rejoices for Kyah and that she can eat whatever and whenever she desires.  There was a time (just 31 days ago) that Kyah could not.  She was given a specific amount at each meal and had to eat quickly while she had the nanny's attention.

What about all those that don't eat until their tummies are full? 
What about those that don't have their nanny's attention or don't have anyone's attention?

Oh, thank you God for giving Kyah a family and hope in life!  Thank You, Father, that You chose us to be that family for her and teach her about the hope that can only be found in You!

  3. God is amazing, and I'm so happy for all of you. It's such a blessing for Kyah that God picked your family for her! Yes, I pray that more and more families will be led to adopt. What a blessing for the children to have a totally different life than they would have if not adopted. Just think you have helped one more little one to escape that kind of life. One at a time. Jesus called the little ones to come unto Him.
    And He has adopted each one of us into His family. All we had to do was ask. :)
