Little Sister

My mind has been occupied with the adoption process....the steps I know must be taken before I can meet little sister, the steps that must be taken until little sister can come home. The process can be very overwhelming. Little sister comes to mind frequently....I find myself looking at her pictures, watching the video I have of her, and wanting the time to fly. I would love to have her in my arms right now, but I know I can't. So I hold on to the little things, I focus on the steps I have to take and spending time with Maria.

So, I'm sure people are curious about who is little sister. Little sister is almost two, in fact she will turn two before the end of September. She has beautiful brown eyes and dark brownish black hair. An amazing smile, although she seems to share it with people special to her. She had a rough start to life, born too soon and with an unexpected special need. From her medical report and video I know she will need to see some of the same specialist Maria sees. I know she will become use to working physical therapist and occupational therapist. The PT and OT that I work with have seen her video, they are already making plans on how to help little sister when the time comes. Little sister is currently seeing a PT at her orphanage.

Little sister lives in an orphanage in Eastern Europe. She is within an hour of the capitol city. I have been able to connect with families who have been to her orphanage. From what I have been told and have seen, the orphanage is an older building, not kept in the repair.....which is typical of this area. One family has told me that the children seem to get a lot of attention, but the staff are also there to get their gossip time in....ok, so this does happen with women and we know most of the time women are in these type of positions.

The few pictures I have a very special and since little sister isn't legally adopted I personally do not plan to share pictures of her publicly on the internet. I also do not plan to say where little sister is currently living until the adoption is finalized. We do have an FSP on Reece's Rainbow and an account on Adopt Together. If you would like to donate just search for Horn on either site. If you have any specific questions about little sister or the adoption process, please feel free to leave a comment.
