I cannot believe it has been 11 years since then. We get to celebrate this year at the beach! They have grown into such remarkable young people. I am amazed by them all the time. I am truly blessed and grateful to be their mom. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC4LlY29cWdXwRpC-TVvJNHUvUfknhwieeMHTvWt2hkdJMm07p7Tqxg4rdZ07mvWhCBMi-B74CQEAv7YZ7hw25kYgBLEFNISOUrpTvASeB52las9HOMuLH1eaUHKASlIjHxbWQZwGropNBd9AHHZJE7sNGCG56Gp54QEK_d1sJ05WNcIZTi1Ma4eWX/s640/movie%20star.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="295" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC4LlY29cWdXwRpC-TVvJNHUvUfknhwieeMHTvWt2hkdJMm07p7Tqxg4rdZ07mvWhCBMi-B74CQEAv7YZ7hw25kYgBLEFNISOUrpTvASeB52las9HOMuLH1eaUHKASlIjHxbWQZwGropNBd9AHHZJE7sNGCG56Gp54QEK_d1sJ05WNcIZTi1Ma4eWX/s320/movie%20star.PNG" width="148" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-HxHfQWMycfIY1bQGvdMEwYNenxs9sNsj78UgnO9fQGXCjbaZUkiovVtLWpjzbqQ1hwIObIaT6jF-75pga-UqK5QvdL1JrK4ZdMvshWM8wsR0R_T0uTjVrmr1-2nafRh7j7dwHmZR0AFlVy4wXW7O3lgsFRC3lvCp45whHOsaVyu3tAY0VY4a-Ses/s640/T%20and%20AB%20on%20beach%20trying%20not%20to%20squint%202023.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-HxHfQWMycfIY1bQGvdMEwYNenxs9sNsj78UgnO9fQGXCjbaZUkiovVtLWpjzbqQ1hwIObIaT6jF-75pga-UqK5QvdL1JrK4ZdMvshWM8wsR0R_T0uTjVrmr1-2nafRh7j7dwHmZR0AFlVy4wXW7O3lgsFRC3lvCp45whHOsaVyu3tAY0VY4a-Ses/s320/T%20and%20AB%20on%20beach%20trying%20not%20to%20squint%202023.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPwT18JrjvqA1-JUIwGrHuURNTsOiBY_rydNY4OVBOeIFqNLMOMC2k00WvP9NswfxtBrfniUgj4SuZoE-XfswzwA9udh7CCtFwHWq2kKZPDyviaO8AG8tgtrPrZFS2bzQwIIHfzO272HaSfiLcqFQuXVd1ZrM_hNqQoUbaN7TXcERtEB-TvR8dUWbM/s640/T%20reading%20at%20the%20beach%2003.2023.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPwT18JrjvqA1-JUIwGrHuURNTsOiBY_rydNY4OVBOeIFqNLMOMC2k00WvP9NswfxtBrfniUgj4SuZoE-XfswzwA9udh7CCtFwHWq2kKZPDyviaO8AG8tgtrPrZFS2bzQwIIHfzO272HaSfiLcqFQuXVd1ZrM_hNqQoUbaN7TXcERtEB-TvR8dUWbM/s320/T%20reading%20at%20the%20beach%2003.2023.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwx0f0A5USnLIwK-2JDXXWZrKEEQvos2pOsDxVinGkn5jApfluVyTLYukR3dg7qhgcz-yJJw_DDWLoyjUBOlw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4633104564294122314.post-6251534333309065232019-03-05T17:23:00.000-05:002019-03-05T17:23:34.391-05:00Happy 7th Gotcha Day!<div style="text-align: center;">

She's such a spunky little thing. Only knows one speed.....that'd be HIGH! Full throttle all the time! Little Miss Chatterbox....even beats out her big sis on that one.<br />
What a JOY!<br />
What a privilege God has given us to be her (and her siblings') parents.<br />

I often think of Timothy's and Annabelle's birth mothers and fathers -but more so on their birthdays. I'm thankful they chose life for them. Because their birth parents did choose to give them life, I know they must wonder about them...especially on their birthdays. I'm convinced AB's mother (and probably father, too) felt the only way she would survive would be to give her up. Most likely she was born into a poor family with no way to care for her special need. Annabelle would have been very hard to feed without proper feeding bottles for a cleft lip and palate. I also believe she was premature because of her incredibly low weight listed in her file. I'm certain they cared for her because they took the risk of being caught leaving her at the police station where they knew she most certainly would be found quickly.<br />
I pray somehow The Lord would give them a peace about her, and hopefully one day they will <b style="font-style: italic;">know</b> Him.<br />
<br />
We've enjoyed celebrating her today! She enjoyed it, too!<br />

Three days later..... well, since it's been two years since the Littles came home, that means......2 Year Post Placement Visit/Report. Yes. We've been in this townhouse for 4 months with furniture and boxes stacked wall to wall and floor to ceiling. Six people and three dogs. And LOTS of dirty SAND that multiplies every time we open the door. Excited to have a NEW social worker, whom we've never met, come and evaluate how we are doing? Not particularly. However, God was so gracious and sent Ms. Susan, who was very encouraging and made me feel right at ease. It was a very nice visit. </div>

Then a swim meet, Leaders' Club rally, and mounds of laundry later...</div>

It's Sunday, and the little peanut will be four on Tuesday. She wants a chocolate Minnie Mouse cake. Hoping the artist will help me out with that!!</div>

Yes, the Knox Family is on another journey. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We've traveled this road before...many times, but it's always different and yet some of it is always the same. New adventures, new friends, new lessons (and probably some old ones that just need to be learned again), and new work.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Same --sadness/broken hearts for leaving such dear friends. Such joy and thanksgiving that God blessed us with them. </div>

We are on the move again. Something we didn't plan on doing. We thought we'd stay in Tennessee, but God's plans are often different than ours. </div>

So, we are trusting in Him because He has ALWAYS been faithful. It's off to Florida we go.....<br />
all the way to Ft. Lauderdale.</div>
<br />
Though we truly know the Lord has always known our future, this new chapter of our journey to us seemingly started almost a year ago on November 1, 2012, when Chris unexpectedly lost his job.<br />
Admittedly this was a huge shock, but I can honestly say I was confident God had something in the<br />
works. It wasn't some of the things we thought it could be, and it has taken a whole lot longer than we had hoped. But, He has orchestrated some specific details to support our journey south. One of those details, that I just realized about a week ago, is that He placed us in our church in Chattanooga not only for our current spiritual growth, community, friendships and teaching, but also for our future in Ft. Lauderdale. Our pastors and MANY people from our church, Calvary Chapel Chattanooga, came from Calvary Chapel Ft. Lauderdale. So, we have a place to start looking for a church home with some familiarity, solid Bible teaching and freedom to truly worship.<br />
<br />
Each move seems to be a little harder.... the children are older; we've been here the longest that we've been anywhere ...with Colorado at a close second. It's a growing pain.<br />
<br />
December 6, 2013.....<br />
Well, we've been here in Ft. Lauderdale almost a month. Change is <strong>hard</strong>. Very different down here. Lots of adjustments to make. This move seems hardest of all. Maybe because I'm OLDER. Maybe because there are more of us adjusting to "new and different." Maybe because our living situation is temporary and I know we'll need to move out of this temporary housing. Maybe because it's still just so new. We miss our family, our friends, our church, our house.<br />
<br />
I know God has us here for a reason. He planned this long ago. He has work for us to do here.<br />

(Written Dec. 12, 2012 but never posted....got distracted....)<br />
<br />
As of Wednesday, December 5, it's been nine months since we first met Annabelle and Timothy face to face. What amazing little ones they are! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Timothy is speaking so well and knows all the letters of the alphabet. Annabelle is also making good sentences and is learning how to pronounce things more clearly. Both are so bright... following in their big siblings footsteps. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Annabelle had surgery in October on her lip and nose. She was such a trooper. Just 5 days later her stitches came out.</div>

She is doing great and her scar is healing well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Friday was Timothy's 4th Birthday. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We kept it simple. Just a made from scratch chocolate cake (YUM)...</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I walked in on this little story time. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So thankful Alexandra had her camera handy. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When Annabelle and Timothy first joined us, Little Miss Peanut would not even sit still for a page to be read to her. "T" only lasted a few pages longer. But now.....</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's been only 7 months, but a lifetime of change has taken place.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We are so thankful and humbled to be a part of God's plan for these lives (all four of them).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">May He grant us wisdom, strength, grace and mercy to do the job well.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I can't believe it's been 6 months since </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">two scared and confused little ones were placed in our arms. </span><br />

(March 5, 2012)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The months have passed quickly.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">God is doing amazing things!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I've seen so many changes in Annabelle and Timothy <em>and</em> in the rest of us. These two little ones had persevered through much <u>before</u> we met them and then some more since arriving in a new family, a new culture, a new world. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Both have gone from not understanding one syllable of English to speaking, understanding and communicating very well. They are learning so much everyday. Both love to go to their classes at church and sleep in their own rooms. We are still working through some uncertainty and sadness at times with one of them, but both fit into our family so well.... </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">just as God had planned all along.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">It is amazing to see their transformations!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Also, it has warmed my heart to see my big kids step right in and love on their new siblings. I knew they would, but to actually see it in action brings tears to a mother's eyes. Alexandra and Hunter are awesome story readers, puzzle helpers, hide-n-seekers, ticklers and even diaper changers. (Yes, even Hunter has changed a diaper or two. :) )</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">We are blessed to be a family of SIX!</span></div>

Exchanging a few things and of course a price tag is missing. Price check. An older woman gets in line behind me then walks in front of the stroller and then returns to her place in line. I notice that when she walked up she didn't really look very happy. I step back and let her check out while I'm waiting on a "Price check" and then.... it happens.... a comment about the children God has recently placed into our arms. Not a "They are so cute" or "They are so precious" comment which I do hear quite often, but a negative, derogatory, make my heart pound comment. Oh no! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At first I must admit my hair stood on end and my heart beat out of my chest and I really just wanted to explain to her how precious these children are and why can't she see that. Then I felt sad for her and took a second to ask God how do I handle this. What did He want me to do? Well, I'm not sure I handled it the best way. I did say something. I was kind and light in tone and I really wanted to honor God- but did I want to defend my children more? Maybe I should have kept my mouth shut. I'm not sure. I will say that because of her comment I was able to share some of our journey with the young lady at the checkout counter (who said she would like to adopt one day) and those who were now also in line got to hear how God lead us to China and provided for Timothy and Annabelle to come home with us. This has also been an opportunity for me to share with my big kiddos that Timothy and Annabelle (and we) will probably face more racism and that we need to be ready to respond in a way that will honor God first and foremost. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Yes, I (we) know there are many children in the United States that need families. We don't take that lightly. I could give you reasons for us going to another country like.... the orphanages and foster care over there are so much worse than here and the children get thrown out when they turn 14. But, those aren't the reasons we went to China. We went to China because that is where God led us. That is where our children were. We prayed about a domestic adoption. God drew us overseas. Not to China at first. We learned much about other countries, orphans, ministries and more while "we were trying to choose a country." You see, I don't think WE CHOSE. God did. For us, He chose China. Why? Because Timothy and Annabelle were there. God chose them to be ours before the foundations of the earth. Why? I DO NOT Know. I only know that I am blessed to be the mother of all four of my children. I do not know why Annabelle and Timothy had to have the beginning that they did, but God is faithful. He is trustworthy. He has and has always had a plan. He created all the children and desires for all of them to be <strong>His</strong> children. When one of His creation becomes His child, He doesn't see His Asian child, His American child, His white or black or Hispanic child. He sees <strong>HIS</strong> child. No race. No color. No disability. Just HIS. We pray that one day, Annabelle and Timothy will be His children, too. </span><br />

Miss Annabelle's palate looks good. We won't know much about how well those muscles will work until she is speaking more. My guess is she will need some speech therapy. She will try to copy what we say, but there are some sounds that she just can't replicate. The doctor said that her lip and nose needed to be redone. I don't even see it now when I look at her except when I see her in the mirror... I notice it then. Don't know when we will do it. The doc says the younger the better. Surgery will even out her nose, thin her lip and remove all the white lines from previous stitches. It may not really seem to matter now, but it will when she is heading into the teen years. <br />
<br />
Both littles went to the ENT on Friday, and BOTH passed their hearing tests! That's very good news. Before examining them, the doc warned me that 98% of the children from China with cleft palates need tubes because of large amounts of fluid in their ears. The fluid causes many infections and hinders speech because if you can't hear properly, you can't repeat sounds properly. Both kiddos have a small amount of fluid but nothing to be concerned with. He was very surprised that Annabelle did not have much and thinks it should clear up on its own. He said she probably would NOT need tubes.... her ears should have been a lot worse. Also, he asked where they learned English. They were speaking so well. Of course, just from us. That was another good sign that they can hear just fine (just what I thought.... selective hearing!). Timothy will speak sentences, and Annabelle tries very hard to repeat and speak on her own (some of which we can understand). They've learned so much in 3 months!<br />
<br />
A couple of firsts for the last few days....<br />
Timothy and Annabelle got into a wading pool at a friend's house. Annabelle loved it. Timothy, not so much. Then later in the week, they both entered the baby pool where the Bigs have swim practice. Again, Annabelle loved it. Timothy, not so much until another little boy started playing catch with him. Then, today, Miss Annabelle went to her class at church and did very well. When we picked her up she even knew the motions to the memory verse they learned. Too cute. However, we learned that Timothy is not yet ready to go to his class. When we picked up Annabelle he got very clingy and worried we would leave him. He needs a little more time. Today he played quietly while we sat in the family room for service. It was nice to hear the teaching. <br />
<br />
The last day or so I've really been thinking about their birth mothers. I pray they will have a peace about Annabelle and Timothy and know that they are loved. <br />
<br />
Thanks for checking in on us. <br />
Blessings to you,<br />
~B<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Both Timothy and Annabelle are bonding and attaching to us very well. Annabelle a little better than Timothy, but that was expected because of her younger age and her previous living situation. She was obviously loved by her foster parents. If you saw her interacting with us, you'd never know she's only been with us a couple of months. Her new phrase this week is repeating "I love you" when I say it to her. Even though it's somewhat garbled, I can understand her. :) Does she know what it means???... I'm not sure, but I'd like to think she's beginning to. Timothy is a little slower to trust, but he has definitely come a long way. He loves to climb up in my lap every morning and have songs, prayers and kisses every night. Even though he repeats lots and lots of English, he hasn't repeated "I love you".... at least not yet. He smiles when I say, "Mommy loves Timothy" though. He seems to like that better than, "I love you." I think he just likes hearing his name. :) He realized this week that he has more than one name... Timothy Justice Knox, and that Annabelle does too... Annabelle Hope Knox. So, he's been saying TIMOTHY KNOX- ANN-BELLE KNOX. (He leaves out the A). He actually has learned to say many things in English and tries to explain something if he doesn't know what to say. Smart kid! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I'm just so amazed at how far they have come in 2 months. The first week home was <strong>SO HARD</strong>. Much harder than bringing our other two home from the hospital. At that time it seemed there would be no end to the constant fussing, no sleep, lack of communication, refereeing and exhaustion. Now, I've actually had a coffee date with my sweet husband (even if two are in tow). I think we may be able to let Annabelle go to her class at church soon. She and I went in and played a couple of Sundays ago. I pray she is nice to all the other kiddos and will trust that we will come back to get her. Not sure Timothy is quite ready for that yet. He still doesn't seem quite sure he gets to stay with us for keeps. But, he is progressing. He's learned so much English. It's just amazing! He and Annabelle talk in their own language and he throws in some English. Not sure what the other language is... I assume he is speaking Cantonese but our guides in China said Annabelle only baby talked... so I don't know how he understands her. :) </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Here are some recent pics and videos. Hope you enjoy!</span><br />

Thanks to our friends, Robin and Andrew who are on the adoption road, here is a super <u>easy</u> way to support the adoption tax credit! Please help! Also, you can check out their blog <a href="http://outonalimbadoption.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">HERE.</a></h3>

Adoption Tax Credit </h3>
<br />
<div class="post-body entry-content" itemprop="articleBody">
You may or may not be aware that the U.S. Government
offers a very substantial Adoption Tax Credit to adopting families. Without
this credit, adoption would be nearly impossible for many families. <br /><br />
</div>
<div class="post-body entry-content" itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: center;">
HOWEVER</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">On April 17, 2012, Rep. Bruce
Braley (D-IA) introduced the Making Adoption Affordable Act. The act will
permanently expand the federal adoption tax credit to $13,360, an increase of
$1,000 over the current credit, and make it refundable.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">The current adoption tax credit is
set to expire at the end of 2012. Over the last several months, many of you
expressed concerns about the impact the expiration of the credit will have on
your family. Congressman Braley’s bill is the first step toward ensuring that
the adoption tax credit continues to be an option to help families offset the
high cost of adoption. More importantly, this legislation will promote the
adoption of God’s children by loving families.</span></span></div>

families in America, please support this bill. The adoption tax credit helps to
make adoption a reality for these families. However, I urge to make this
decision not because of them but because of the 147 million orphans in the world
who need a loving, forever family.<br /><br />Sincerely,</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It's been one month since Annabelle Hope and Timothy Justice were placed into our arms. The month has been FULL!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Full of prayers, tears, smiles, sleepless nights (and days), uncertainty, hope, struggles, growth, provision, hugs, new faces, learning, joy, wonder, new places, beauty, challenges, kisses, testing, development...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">.... full of LOVE.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
<u><span style="font-size: large;">Two miraculous ways God has provided for us that we must share with you:</span></u><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>First</u>- when we got back from China we had more donations into our Lifesong/Both Hands account. What a huge surprise and blessing to receive that news after arriving home. By God's grace, the adoptions of Annabelle and Timothy are <strong>debt free!</strong> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Amazing!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Thank you for helping us bring them home!!!! You are forever written into their rescue story and have played a role in God's plan.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>Second</u>- Before leaving China, the US requires adopted children age 2 and up to receive a TB skin test to enter the US. The skin test must be negative. If it is not, your departure from China is delayed, x-rays and other precautions must be taken. Timothy is 3, so he had a test which, thankfully, had a negative result. :) Annabelle was not quite 2 yet... her birthday was the day after our scheduled medical visit. Only by God's grace and His timing was it scheduled then. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Only after visiting the International Adoption Clinic at Vanderbilt this past Monday where they administered the skin test and then had it read at our pediatrician's office Thursday, did we know that we escaped being detained in China. Sweet Girlie's skin test was positive. So, off to Children's Hospital we went to get her lungs x-rayed. Which, THANK YOU LORD, was negative. Yes, a million questions filled my mind. Oh how many people we've come in contact with while coming home and since we've been home. What would it mean for them, for us? Well, nothing. Her positive skin test and negative x-ray means that at some point she could have been exposed to someone with TB but her body has taken care of it, or the positive result has come from a BCG vaccine that she most likely had. She does have a scar on her left arm where the vaccine is usually given (in other countries- not the US). We are getting her vaccination report translated so we will have more info. We think she may have to go through a round of treatment according to the Health Department but will know for sure after translating her vaccination records and speaking with Vanderbilt and the Health Department next week. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">THANK YOU!</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Thank you to everyone who brought meals to us since we've been home. <u>You just don't know what a true blessing you were</u>. Thank you for providing for us. Everything was wonderful!</span><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">THANK YOU!</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Thank you to my sweet friend, Jean, who was rather sneaky and came to my house (I should say frat house by the looks of things before) and cleaned while I was in Nashville at Vanderbilt with the Littles. Hope you wore a HAZMAT suit! ;)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Bonding:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Both kiddos <u>seem</u> to be doing pretty well. Getting lots of eye contact. Testing us. Seeking out Chris or me in the house if we're not within sight. Beginning to trust. However, we still have a long way to go. People don't see it though, especially not with Timothy because he is quick to shake hands or say hello. He might even let you pick him up. That's really not a great thing. We don't want him to just go to anyone (not safe), and we want him to know that he can depend on us not just whoever is in the room like when he was in the orphanage.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So, <strong><u>please</u></strong> still refrain from picking them up, hugging/kissing them, and feeding or giving them anything to drink. This is still a time of bonding for us. Time for our relationship to develop. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Thank you for complying with our request!</span><br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>*Blessed: <em>divinely</em> or supremely favored; fortunate</strong></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I don't use that word lightly. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Our family is so <strong>blessed</strong> to have these two little ones. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Yes, it's hard. Yes, it's tiring. Yes, sometimes I think, "Can I just have 10 minutes to sit and read THE WORD and drink a cup of coffee?"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">But...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I also gaze in amazement as I see two precious ones the Lord has given us (the four of us) the honor of being their family and watching them learn and grow before our very eyes. Oh, there are meltdowns over such simple things. I get the blank stare and the cold shoulder and even a gruff little "humph" sometimes with a quick little slap. On the other hand... It's a good thing I have two arms because I can rarely hold one without the other wanting to be held also. I get beautiful smiles, slobbery kisses and big bear hugs. (I get more hugs from my Bigs now, too.)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Love- there is enough. It flows down from above.</span><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">I must say that I am so proud of Alexandra and Hunter!</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I have loved watching them be big sis and big brother. (tear in my eye) They are awesome! They were both so concerned before going to China if they would be good enough big siblings. I don't think they could be any better! Annabelle and Timothy adore them, and I am amazed at how they have stepped up and into their new roles so superbly.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It's not been easy. It's been downright hard at times, and they will tell you that. But, I think they will say that it's been good and they like their new positions in the Knox Family. Alexandra even said that it seems almost as if the Littles have always been with us.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">God did that... knit us together. We know they are ours.... hoping they are beginning to know that, too. We are trusting God to complete the work He has started. Not just in our family, but in their hearts to be HIS.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Happy One Month Gotcha Day, Annabelle and Timothy!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Your Forever Family Loves You!</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Because this post has taken me so long to write.... it is now Easter. So.....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong><em>Happy Easter!</em></strong></span></span><span style="font-size: large;">This year we are celebrating adoption in a whole new way-</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Thanking the Father for raising the Son so we could be adopted into the Family of God and that He called us to go to China and bring home Annabelle and Timothy.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Now, this is what you really wanted- pictures. :) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Enjoy!</span><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">What a day (days really)! According to Chattanooga time we left our hotel at 5:30 in the evening on Thursday and landed in Nashville at 8:15 PM (7:15 central time) on Friday. It was a long, long day! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The good news is that Annabelle woke with no fever. PTL! The bad news is that it rose to 103 after about an hour on the plane. Gave her some medicine but she was fitful and didn't sleep much... only about an hour or two on our 14 hour flight.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">We landed in Chicago, and immigration went smoothly. Annabelle and Timothy are US citizens!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYA-K-VFpyHm6b6YvfeX0yu0yJPNsxaX_JdMPXyPFrfyEemXtpPqgppY1zSRwB8kUhH3cC0f9MHm34exqDi6mrpvyregKdYe2_gZVu2iye4JQToU0D28C9ILuig0_9exfQ8AZPLtoDF40/s1600/two+newest+US+citizens.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="191" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYA-K-VFpyHm6b6YvfeX0yu0yJPNsxaX_JdMPXyPFrfyEemXtpPqgppY1zSRwB8kUhH3cC0f9MHm34exqDi6mrpvyregKdYe2_gZVu2iye4JQToU0D28C9ILuig0_9exfQ8AZPLtoDF40/s320/two+newest+US+citizens.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Timothy looks happy about it, but Annabelle... not so much.</div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">So blessed we were able to all go to China to bring home Annabelle and Timothy. </div><br />

Her temp is down. We're keeping her on the meds so hopefully it won't go back up. Still praying for all of us to be healthy tomorrow as we travel our long journey home. The 15 hour flight with two little ones should be interesting. Actually we are hoping and praying for some sleep on the plane and for an uneventful trip. <br />

I know that's not the best toy to give a 3 year old, but it's what was in my purse while we were so PATIENTLY waiting on our food. <br />

</div>This is probably our last post before getting home so we wanted to invite anyone who would like to meet us at the Nashville airport to "come on down." We realize that most of you are too far away to welcome us home at the airport but know that you are welcome anyway. If you are in the area and would like to meet Timothy and Annabelle in person, we will be arriving in Nashville on United flight #825 from Chicago/ORD at 6:17 PM on Friday, March 16. With that said please help us continue our bonding/attachment phase by not reaching out to hold them. But please feel free to talk to them or pat them on their backs or rub their arms. I truly don't know how they will react. Sometimes they are scared and hide behind us (usually Annabelle but sometimes Timothy) and sometimes will grin and jump around (usually Timothy but sometimes Annabelle), but after our very long flight and all the changes they've had to deal with the last ten days, arriving at a new place and meeting new people will be very overwhelming for them.<br />
<br />
<u><strong>We've been so blessed to have this time as a family</strong></u>.... for them to get to know all four of us and begin to bond with us. We are now leaving the home they've known for the last ten days, so it will take some time to get adjusted to their new home in Chatt. We probably won't go out much so Annabelle and Timothy can get used to their new HOME.<br />
<br />
It's 10:45 PM here and I must get up around 3:30 AM, so I guess it's time for bed. I pray Annabelle and Timothy (well, all of us really) will sleep well tonight. Thank you all for your prayers and support. You have walked this journey with us and we are honored.<br />

Sweet Annabelle is quite sick. We were up most of the night. She has a high fever. Feels awful. She just cries if I put her down. We have started her on an antibiotic and are giving her ibuprofen and acetaminophen in alternating doses to try to keep the fever down. Also, lots of water. Of course, we don't want her to feel bad any longer but we are also concerned about arriving at the Hong Kong airport tomorrow morning. On the way through the HK airport last time, Alexandra had a random temperature check. I don't know what would have happened if she had had a fever.... and I definitely don't want to find out tomorrow.<br />
<br />
PLEASE pray with us that Annabelle's fever would be gone and no one else would have one. We are so ready to be home. <br />
<br />
Thank you!<br />
Blessings,<br />

We will get those back tomorrow. Because the US and China are part of the Hague Convention agreement, once we land in Chicago on Friday and go through immigration, they will be US citizens. They will have dual citizenship with US and China. <br />
<br />
After the Consulate appointment we drove to Dongguan which took about an hour. Dongguan is so much prettier than Guangzhou. Jenny from True Children's Home met us there and took us into her home (a very nice suite in a very nice hotel). She was so sweet to let us order some food and have the kiddos stay in her suite while we met with Annabelle's foster parents. Her foster parents are so very nice and we could tell that they love her and miss her very much. It was an emotional meeting but we got to hear some fun stories about her and we'll be able to share those with her when she is older. I was very grateful to have the opportunity to tell them how much we appreciate their loving care of our little girl. They said they felt better after meeting us and know that she will be in a good place. It was very nice to get that compliment from them. <br />
<br />
We made it back to our hotel around 4 this afternoon and just chilled. Annabelle has a fever and yucky nose and cough. Timothy has a cough and yucky nose. Chris and I are also getting a little under the weather. Please pray for healing for all of us, especially the Littles. Tomorrow is our last day here then we load up VERY early in the morning on Friday (5AM) and head for Hong Kong for a flight (or 2) to HOME SWEET HOME.<br />
<br />
Thanks for praying!!!!!!!!!!!<br />

Annabelle and I woke up then and tried to let the others sleep for awhile. We didn't have to be anywhere with the group this morning. Chris and Timothy woke up a little later, and then we finally woke up the teenager and preteen just before 9. We had to get to breakfast before 10 or no food. It was nice not have to be somewhere for a change. After breakfast we hung out in the room and played and then went to lunch.... finally some good food. We ate at Tequila's, a Mexican restaurant like we have at home. The food was good and we were glad to have something different. Although, I am soooooooooooooooo ready for a home cooked meal. Thanks to some awesome friends we will get some good food when we get home. You just don't know what a blessing that is to me. I am so very tired and having that good food will be great as I try to catch up on laundry and rest and laundry and school and laundry. :) Thank you friends for helping us out in the food department for a few weeks!!! You are lifesavers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
After lunch we came back to the room to try to get the Littles to nap for a bit. They did get a short nap and then we met the group to go to Shamian Island. It's a little famous island here where most adoptive families used to stay. The main hotel here was the White Swan. Many families have stayed there when adopting. It was closed today... I think they are refurbishing???? Also, the medical center used to be on that island but has moved to the city where we are staying now. The island is very quiet and no hustle and bustle like here around our hotel. It was nice walking around over there. We got to do a little shopping and bought a couple of quiet toys for the plane ride home. We also got to eat at a place called Lucy's. American food. Chris and I had cheeseburgers (not like McDonald's) and the Bigs and Littles had fried chicken. We also had sweet tea! <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Tomorrow is our consulate appointment- the last appointment we have in China. We must go to the US Consulate to apply for Annabelle and Timothy's visas to enter the US. We should receive them the next day and then travel HOME the day after that. Boy we are ready to go home. and. REST! We are all getting a little under the weather. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Also, tomorrow is the day we will travel to Dongguan (about and hour or so away) to meet Annabelle's foster family. It is my understanding that Annabelle will not see them but we will get the chance to talk with them. Jenny from True Children's Home will be with us and guide us through the meeting. We hope and pray to be able to express how thankful we are to her foster family for taking such good care of her. We know they love her and this will be an emotional meeting for them (and us, too.) We are hoping to hear of some stories of our sweet girl (special memories) so we will be able to talk with Annabelle when she is older and tell her stories of them and her. You know that I am a crier, so tomorrow will be extra tears, I'm sure! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

(Annabelle slid by without having to do it by one day... Her Bday was the cut off). Everyone passed - so no xrays for anyone! <br />
<br />
Cold and windy today. Still wet. Rains a lot here! Littles and Bigs enjoyed the animals. Mommy and Daddy are tired! <br />

(Day 9)Annabelle is 2 today! We will have to celebrate once we are home and settled. A little hard to get a cake and do birthday celebrations here. <br />
<br />
We had another busy day. We met our group this morning and headed to a mall. Part of it was outdoor and part was indoor. The outdoor part made me think of New York City. Here are some random pics from today. Enjoy! (Sorry about some of the duplicates. Taking forever to load and if I erase one it erases them all so leaving the extras on there.)<br />

Then we loaded the bus and headed to the hospital for medical exams. That was quite crazy. Lots and lots of people. Glad it didn't take us too long. <br />

Falling asleep at the computer while I type so here are some various pics from today... I'm off to bed.<br />
Thank you for your prayers!<br />

We met the group at 6:30 this morning and headed out from Guangzhou to Maoming. It took us about 4+ hours. The two bigs took up the back row of the bus and slept some. The two littles bounced around on our laps for almost the whole time<br />

....but fell asleep about 3 minutes before parking at the orphanage. Oh boy! Thought that might be a disaster. You know- waking a sleeping child and then bombarding him with the place he's lived his whole life and just been whisked away from. But Timothy did great! He was happy to see his friends, playroom and nannies, even the special one, but when they asked where is his mommy he pointed to me. Where is his daddy he pointed to Chris. Brother? -- Hunter and sister? --Alexandra. They brought him a big GIANT bowl of the food they eat which was mostly rice but had lots of veggies and some meat in it too. He showed us how well he could eat and use a spoon and ate the entire bowl! <br />

They brought a bowl for Annabelle too but she didn't eat very much. When it was time to go, he was ready to go with us. He gave kisses and waved goodbye but was happy to be leaving with us. That truly is a miracle... in a few short days he is ready to stay with us instead of what he has known his whole life. I know he will continue to grieve some, but am so thankful for the work the Lord has done in him.<br />
<br />
After leaving the orphanage we had lunch and then went to every one's finding spot. Annabelle and Timothy were found only a few blocks from each other. Annabelle was found outside the police station<br />

I wondered as we were there if their biological moms were near. I pray the Lord will put peace in their hearts about their babies and they will know A and T are loved. I pray some how they know they are also loved by the One who created them. I hope one day to meet them in heaven.<br />
It truly broke my heart today to see his friends in the orphanage. I know some of them will be going to their forever families but some may never get adopted. There was an older boy there... probably 12 years old who looked very sad to say goodbye to Timothy. He was such a helper and sweet boy. I hope his forever family finds him before he turns 14 and can no longer be adopted. I had the privilege of holding a 9 month old boy who they believe has severe CP. They wanted my opinion on whether or not to do the paperwork on him so he could be adopted. "YES!" I said. He was precious. <br />
<br />
The nannies pulled on my heart, too. They do such a good job with all the children and love them so much. Today was bittersweet for them, I'm sure. <br />
<br />
Again, I just want to say how proud I am of Alexandra and Hunter. Today was a very hard day physically and emotionally and they did great! Super helpers and so sweet to their little siblings. <br />
<br />
We finally made it back to the hotel around 8 PM or so this evening. Chris went to get us some dinner and came back with Starbucks and Haagen-Dazs. SCORE! We deserved it after such a day! :)<br />
<br />
It was a very overwhelming and emotional day, but I'm glad we did it. We will be able to help Annabelle and Timothy with some of the questions they may have when they get older.<br />
<br />
Thank you again for your prayers!!!!!<br />
For His glory,<br />
