Alivia's Prayer

Dear Jesus,

Please help my sister come home soon.

I love her

and I really, really want to talk to her.

I love you Jesus.

Amen

I do not think I could have said it any better. We are still waiting to hear from China about our LOA. Somedays we seem to handle the wait alright. Somedays are not so easy. Today has been one of those not so easy days, even for the kids. We knew going into this adoption that the wait would be long and hard, but it still does not make it any easier. Our hearts are getting tired and we are clinging to the words of Jesus with all the strength we have left.

Proverbs 3:5-6

⁵ Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
⁶ in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.

"Fear not for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you... For I am the Lord your God..
~Isiah 43:1-3

Syndactyly is a term to describe webbed fingers or toes. In most cases the webbing is only skin, but in some cases, the bone may be fused together. Surgery is performed to correct the condition.

Polydactyly literally means "extra digits." There may be an extra thumb, small finger, or, less commonly, an extra digit in the central part of the hand. Polydactyly is one of the most common congenital hand anomalies.

Microtia is an incompletely formed ear. It ranges in severity from a bump of tissue to a partially formed ear. In most cases, only one ear is affected. In that case, it is called Unilateral Microtia. If both ears are affected, it is called Bilateral Microtia. In addition to the physical characteristics, there is a possiblitiy of some or all of these problems: About a 40% reduction of hearing in the affected ear, problems locating the direction from which a sound comes and ear infections.
