This is my son. What a difference 8 months, love, food, and a family will do. He was on the brink of death (more than once). He was malnourished, dehydrated, and classified as special needs. He is now in the 97th percentile for weight, and God has healed each of the medical issues he came home with. Every child deserves a family.

My Latest photosLoving my afternoon out! Had a leisurely stroll through Kohl's and can't wait to go home and surprise Mareto with his new Thomas the Tank Engine pjs!!! Sat in the car watching the rain and listening to music... Now getting ready to head into my massage. So thankful for an amazing husband who loves me so well. @jpcasper

Pretty sure I'm the only mom in the world who got this gift on FATHERS DAY from her husband. When I asked him why on earth he did this for me on a day that's supposed to be all about him... He said, "it's Father's Day and I should be able to do what makes me happy. This makes me happy." Blown away. ❤ #blessed

Saw the surgeon today - got the pink bandages off, checked for infection, then got rewrapped in bright purple! Lots of years today ... Several more weeks of healing.

He lined up all of Arsema's Ethiopian babies on her rocker, then went behind to push the rocker back and forth. Sweetest ever. 😍
