The red couch pictures are hysterical! Seriously, I think if it were video you could send them to America's Funniest Videos and take first place! And Faith looks so tiny in that great big bed...wonderful pictures...so many thoughts and no room to type them all in. Enjoy the last of your journey...you will be home soon! Love you and take care!
Spread eagle is my favorite too! It was hard enough with just Lucy...I cannot imagine the chaos of the whole group! Faith looks so good in the hot pink...I love it! Enjoy your last day!!!
You were right!! The "red couch" pictures were so funny especially Faith's topsy turvy one. :-) Her dress and shoes are so pretty and she appears to like them as well. Love you all. Stay safe. MOM
Wow! What an amazing journey! It looks like Faith is bonding soooo well! I love the red couch pictures and especially the spread eagle one. What a hoot!
Welcome to our little piece of the world wide web! A little about us ~ I am Dawn,and my husband is Jeff. We have five children. When our youngest was 10 we prayed to see if our family was complete, we were prompted to adopt.
(How grateful we are that we listened to that prompting) We returned from China in January 2010 with our daughter FAITH who is now 5 years old. This is our blog "Faith in Every Footstep." Now that we are home, I use this blog to record our family adventures and daily school pictures of our little peanut! Enjoy~
Faith's Chinese name is SiSi. The character Si means "to think, consider"
Born not from our flesh but born in our hearts you were longed for,wanted and loved from the start!
About Faith Hengsi
Yang Hengsi was found by local poeple at the gate of the orphanage of Hengyang City on July 13th 2007. She was estimated to be about 5 days old. She was diagnosed with hyperthermia and hospitalized. (In July, when she was found, the temperatures reach 105 degrees.) We believe she was left out in the heat for an extended period of time. Local police did a lot of searching but failed to find her birth parents, as nobody claimed her, she was sent to be raised in the orphanage at 24:00 hours being July 14th.
In China she had been diagnosed with hydrocephalus from a CT scan. This diagnosis was inaccurate; we know this because of the MRI she recently had here in the states. She does have a birth defect with her brain tissue called Agenesis of the Corpus collossum.

Heng Yang City

We had Donovan for about 3 days when the opportunity to go and visit the
orphanage had come up. We were not all able to go unfortunately so Kendall
went on...
Hengyang city has 805,000 residents and is just over 2 hours south of Changsha by road. Hengyang was traditionally known as the ‘goose city’ because of the number of geese that migrated through it. It’s also the leading transportation centre of Hunan, linking water, rail and highway routes.
