I briefly mentioned in a previous post a roadblock we are dealing with when it comes time to complete Elshadaye's US immigration physical. The US is now requiring internationally adopted children to be tested for TB prior to receiving a US Visa. The ridiculous part is that they are imposing a completely different testing policy strictly for children that are HIV+.

The following link is a letter written by an adoptive father explaining the ridiculousness of this policy and it's affect on our children.

Week 19 - Blurb Photo Book Contest Entries (Amateurs/Beginners)
Blurb Photo Book Contest
"Favorite Photo Ever!"

The challenge this week is your favorite close up shot. Of course I have so many favorites because they are of my beautiful children but here is the one I chose. I love this picture of Faith. It was take just 6 months after she joined our family. She is such a joy and you can see the little twinkle in her eyes.
