Over three years ago, international adoptions ceased in the small country of Kyrgyzstan, leaving 65 orphans stranded and 65 American families fighting to have their adoptions finalized. Altynai's Legacy Adoption Fund, in partnership with Lifesong for Orphans', mission is to provide financial assistance to those amazing families. January 2013 Update: $28,400 raised!!! Goal: $40,000

Sweet baby girl
Well, after about 2 weeks in a funk I have collected myself again. No new news on the court situation but we got some precious pictures of Addison yesterday. She is looking the best I have seen! Boy, I needed these. It is like she is telling me, "I'm OK Mom." The reports from 2 weeks ago were not so encouraging but she seems to be rallying. We were able to get some detailed information from our coordinator about her feeds, ect... which I am grateful for. We were also able to learn about the how the energy crisis is specifically affecting Tokmok. At this time, they do not have electricity about 4 hours a day ( 1/2 at night, 1/2 during the day) but have a small stove that they are using to warm bottles, ect... Hopefully this winter will be a mild one.

She is so precious!!! I think she looks like she is in anticipation of her family coming to get her soon. I know it will happen for you very soon and I think of you often. Keep the faith. I just love that picture!
ReplyDeleteThanks for updating on the energy situation there. I've been concerned about if/how that was affecting them. I love the picture of her. She looks really good to me. And you know I'll check on her next week and I'm sure A. will this week!!
ReplyDeleteShe looks so good, Suzanne! What a change from that sick little baby I met in August. We'll keep praying! :) Holly

ReplyDeleteSuzanne, she looks great! I am glad to hear that she is doing better and holding her own. We will continue to pray for quick resolutions to all the adoption hold-ups in Tokmok. We pray you will be a forever family soon!
