It has always felt like a big deal the first time we take our children to the beach, especially for our adopted children. To think they would not have seen the vast ocean or built a sand castle or chased sea gulls down the shore.............We are just so thankful that we got to do this with them! Cori loved it from the very beginning. Her peals of laughter surely must have reached some far away dolphin ears and brought them near the shore to see what was up. Watching her big sisters take her into the ocean and the pool where they loved being a part of her first time was deeply rewarding.
When we adopt we are giving our older children something rare and special, but we are also asking them to give up some of our time and money and freedoms. We are asking them to take on more responsibility.
So to Jessica, Taylor, Blake, Katherine, and Grace I want to say, "Thank you. We are so proud of you and love you so very much! You are wonderful big siblings. We could not do this without your support."
Cincinnati Children's Hospital now has all of Cori's medical files and we expect to be hearing from them this week about an appointment soon. Thank you for praying that we get her to the absolute best specialists.
