This school year has been so hectic. I have 11 students from 16 to 20, the 20 year old just transferred to adult placement and 2 weeks later I got an 18 year old to replace him. I am renting a house and will hopefully be moving to a smaller rented house by the first of February.
I continue to be interested in adoption and hope to move forward with that over this break. Two great adoption sites I've found that will really make you think especially about how special needs kids are treated in other countries: reecesrainbow.com and showhope.org. I would adopt several of the kids from the reece's rainbow site in a second if I could but right now that just isn't possible. God has really put on my heart a little girl here in Illinois with some pretty severe disabilities but the moment I saw her I couldn't get her out of my head or my heart. I have been doing a lot of reading of late and adoption both from the spiritual and the practical side seem to be the focus right now. God has been so patient and forgiving to each of us, how can we not share that with children in need. I will be driving down to spend Christmas with my family this afternoon and hopefully to spend some time exploring favorite haunts in St. Louis too while I am there. I wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. What a wonderful gift we have been given to celebrate on Christmas.
