5 generations.. and adding

My family is blessed in many ways, one way that is special is we still have 5 generations living. My grandmother, Mary, is 101 years old, unfortunatly my father has passed away, but my aunt is still alive. Then there is my generation and then my kids. I have several cousins who have made her a great great grandma. But my oldest daughter is going to be adding to that. Lauren is pregnant with our first grandchild(a girl that will be named Bethany), and is due in February that will make my granddaughter another great great grand for my grandmother Mary.
When we bring Elijah home he will be the youngest of our children. He will also either be an uncle or very close to becoming one depending on when we can get him home! An uncle at 5.. he will have alot of people to love!

PRAYER and the ransom

Prayer is amazing. I was started to get discouraged with the lack of funds for our adoption. I have been praying and I know others have been also, Thank you!
I have been open about the adoption but not about the lack of funds, that is changing. WE need help. Spencer is now 5 years old! Thats nothing big in our society in his country that means he is now at the age where they transfer him to a mental instution where if not adopted he spedns the rest of his life! Not something I want to happen!
Spencer is my son, not legally yet but very much emotionally! If some one take your child you do what ever is in your power o get thim back including paying his ransom. This is what we have to do!
Please if you can help us pay his ransom, every little bit helps.
