We Skyped With Addie!!!


Wow we just spent and hour skyping with Addison and her foster family! She is so lovely and sweet and wiggly and small 6mos size clothes fit!!! She has two bottom teeth, she was very sleepy as it was 9PM her time but she chatted a couple times and drank her bottle and wiggled and wiggled and wiggled :) She will see the orthopedic surgeon from Chicago, Dr Miller, November 4th! From what Keith (her foster Dad) said she has only had one femur fracture that they can see! Nathan had over 100 at birth! So Addie is looking like she is a very mild case of Osteogenesis Imperfecta (brittle bone disease) Keith asked us when we were coming out to visit!!! Jokingly of course! But gosh it would be awesome! It's just not in the budget. We are so very blessed that we got to chat live with our sweet baby girl! Her finding ad is in the paper right now so Keith said soon they be receiving a call to bring her in for her adoption physical! It's so nice to know that things are heading in the right direction! Poor Addie has been in the orphanage since birth and the ayi's (nannies) were too scared to hold her, so the first couple days she was in foster care she was uncomfortable with being held, however now she loves it! And is attaching to this family! She is not sitting up yet and they said they are looking for a boppy chair to help her gain strength in those muscles. I'm hoping to find someone heading to Beijing that would be willing to carry a boppy chair! As they can't get one in China. If anyone who follows this blog knows someone heading that way that has room to carry one (they are very light , just awkward in size) Please leave a comment we'll get in contact :)


On another note our Nate boy is doing well he is still very sick but he is a little improved today, Hurray! So far none of the rest of us are showing symptoms of getting sick!


I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

  1. What an amazing gift! It will make the bonding and attachment so much easier if she recognizes your voice and faces. Such a rare thing in the adoption world, you are truly blessed to have this opportunity!
