Liberian adoptions

There have been stories popping up all over about the couple in California who are alledged to have beaten their adopted Libeian daughters to death. I pray the real story comes out. This is a tragedy two young girls are dead.. Very sad... This also makes me think of all the phone calls I still recieve looking for placement of the children they brought home from Liberia who have abused or are abusing the children already in the family. The Liberian government is now seriously haulting adoptions afraid the Liberian children are coming to families not fit to parent them. In Liberia children are beat regularly how could they be worse off in America. The bigger concern here is the families destroyed here by these adopted children/adults. I say this because my 2 are much older than their documents say they are adults!!! Living as 16 year olds.... This has all been brought to the Liberian governments attention the grotesqe abuse they have brought on young children already here in America in loving families. The fraudulant documents, the diseases they are bringing with them... they know of all these things but not until now will they raise their eyebrows. There is so much more I could say it is such a tragedy :( I pray for this family in CA and their other children as well. The lies and coruptness of Liberian adoptions is disgusting!!! It is destroying and ending the lives of many children!

Sad day!!

Yesterday started to be a great day!! Piggly Wiggly had their annual meat sale. So I was up and getting great savings at 6 am. Once home was when things went terribly wrong. Alexis' precious little puppy, she got for her birthday, CoCo was hit by a car. He died instantly. We were home and were watching him. It seems an inattentive driver going way to fast saw him sitting on the curb and startled so she jerked and he jumped slipping on the snow and she ran him over. Not even on the road kinda on our yard!!! Our kids cried and we had a little ceremony for our family friend, Daddy and J built a little box for his body. A is devistated so if each of you could say a prayer for her, Coco was her special birthday surprise when she turned 15 and this has left a hole that can't be replaced. Coco was so special to us all you will be missed dear friend!!
