We are finally home and have some time to post to the blog. Things are so much better with Ella now that we are home. She did so well with our welcoming crew (friends and close family). I expected her to cry when they got here but not a tear was shed. She is adjusting to life in America pretty well. With the exception of not wanting to sleep at night she is doing awesome. She woke up today with fever so we suspect the sleepless nights are from her ear infection. Our first trip to the pediatrician and we haven't even been home a week. That's par for the course, I'm sure.
Things are much better on the bonding issue with me and Ella. I think things are going to be fine. We just needed some space away from the guys for a while. Tomorrow I will be all on my own. Dale goes back to work so I will have to get the kids both to school and manage with a toddler. Whew!! Gonna be hectic in the morning.
I will try to post some new pictures before I go to bed.
Love to all,
Priscella

UNTIL FOREVER
This morning in China a mother cries
She'll never forget her daughter's eyes
Her heart is broken and filled with pain
Her tears run down like the falling rain.
She has no choice but to leave her there
The cost of keeping is too much to bear.
She hopes her daughter will one day know
True love can be found in letting her go.
This morning in China a baby cries
Hungry and scared as tears fill her eyes
Her mother has left her in this public place
Another lost daughter of the Chinese race.
Someone passing has heard her soft moan
She is soon taken to a foster home.
It's here she'll reside in the care of another
Until she's adopted by a brand new mother.
That very same day in the U.S.A.
A woman cries as she starts to pray
Her heart is heavy but filled with much love
She prays for a daughter she thinks the world of
"Dear Jesus, I ask that your arms would be
Wrapped tightly around the one picked for me
Guard her in China until I make my way
and then in my arms she'll forever stay."

Romans 8:15
Ye have received the Sprit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
