I traveled to pick up my son in early May and developed a relationship with a young boy at the Addis care center. I know very little about special needs but would say his lower body was underdeveloped/partially paralyzed and that his upper body also was affected by something. He had the greatest smile in the world and the ability to get what he needed! I think about him all the time and would love to know if he has found a family yet.
God Bless Kerry! Comments like hers help us focus even stronger on what needs to be done. Hearing that it seems like he can get what he needs is so very encouraging. We are trying so hard to get all our paperwork done, finish fund raising, and get ourselves over there to bring Tommy home. We're anxious to get him started on some physical therapy to improve his mobility and dexterity.
What's so very interesting, is that as we struggle with the mundane--the paperwork, the interviews, the fund raising--God is letting us know that he's watching over Tommy; connecting these moms with us, letting us know he's OK and sharing these important glimpses of his life before he joins us. As we stare at the obstacles that lie between Tommy and us, it's these little things that gird our conviction to push ahead. Thank you God.
