An amazing adoption story

Outside the baby home where Anya Rashi was cared for -- and where Varsha is right now.

I just wanted to share a link to another adoptive mom's story. Amanda is someone I've "known" for a few years through the blog world. She has two children from the same orphanage where Anya Rashi lived -- and she is an amazing advocate for them. They've been through surgeries, appointments, walkers, physical therapy, and more as she helps Ananya and Prasun be all they can be. She also homeschools their oldest son. Are you tired yet just hearing about her stamina? I deeply admire her tenacity and perseverance.


I have a special fondness for their son Prasun. When we traveled to meet Anya Rashi, I got to meet him and take pictures to give to Amanda. That child has a 1,000 watt smile, and he's almost always smiling!


They recently accepted another referral -- and the story of Varsha coming into their family has the fingerprints of God all over it. You can read about it here: http://www.alwaystryingagain.blogspot.com/

Because this is their third adoption in five years, they are financially tapped out. If you could contribute even $5, it would help them reach their goal of getting sweet Varsha home. Thanks!

Hi Nancy,
Came across ur blog.Your daughter is so gifted to be in ur hands.
Every time I meet her I feel that she is growing in leaps.
Probably we should have playdate with Shreya and Anya Rashi.

Thanks,
Priya(Vibhashs mom)

You are right...Amanda is an amazing mother! It gave me cold chills hearing that she had gotten a piece of Vasha's paperwork years before! God is good! Thanks for sharing her story!
