"To bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair." Isaiah 61:3

Grace's Response......
Just the other day, Elizabeth said to Grace "Guess what? You are going to have a little brother!"
Grace responded by clutching her stomach, doubling over, and saying "Ugh, A boy! I gonna be sick!" Ha Ha Ha......She is already over it, but we thought her initial reaction was just so "Grace!"
Hey guys, I'm Gretchen, "Ian's" momma RR, and I just wanted to check in to say GOD BLESS YOU! EVERY single time I got on RR and I saw his face there, I just had to pause and wish like heck that his family would find him! I think that you all are in for a wonderful son! Thank you so much for whatever got you to him! Can't wait to read all about his journey home:)
Hello! My name is Paula Burckhard. I am married to Kevin and have five children: Elizabeth (18), Samuel (14), Grace (12 w/Down syndrome), Bella (7 w/Down syndrome adopted from Ukraine 2009); and Nole' (4 w/Down syndrome adopted from Serbia 2011) We are a family that loves God and desires to bring him Glory in all we do.
Nole' (listed as Nathan) Came Home on March 2, 2011 from Serbia!
Bella Bogdana Burckhard
This "beautiful gift from God" has been given to us through the miracle of adoption. She became part of our family in August 2009. We are excited to see how God will use this Ukrainian princess for his glory!
HAHAHAHA!!!! SOOO FUNNY!
