Attention, Attention!




I have wonderful news to report! Chance, Shelby and Lily will all have families! We hope there will be others very soon, but it's a start!



As you all go home for this holiday weekend, please continue to spread the word about the other children that don't yet have families. Mark is really tugging at my heartstrings. He doesn't have any of the problems commonly associated with hydrocephalus--he is such a smart and talented little boy! He is coordinated, intelligent and adorable! I hope that his family is out there and will come forward for him. When hydrocephalus is caught early on, many children live healthy, normal lives. So if you're drawn to Mark, but scared of his special need, ask for his file and take a chance at considering him. You might just be surprised!

  5. You have to be married for 2 years if you have never been divorced and 5 years if you've been divorced before. Let me know if I can help you with anything else.
