Doll show and people God put in our path
Doll show today we did ok sold a few dolls and made $285 and we had fun. we met so many people that were also adopting or had adopted. It was fun to get to talk to people and I know that God put them in our path for a reason, a really great reason. The first lady I met said she was adopting thru foster care and when I said Reece's Rainbow she said she knew of Reece's Rainbow, it just felt like this really neat connection between us, I know that at some point God will put her back in my life. she bought a doll and actually paid $25 more for it as a donation for Josiah how cool is that. Then another lady we met, she had a really sweet baby on her back in a pack and he was falling asleep, he had glasses on and I asked her about the glasses because I'm thinking Josiah will probably have to have them. It ended up her baby 2 years old has down syndrome she adopted him in the US, but she knew all about Reece's Rainbow and said she thinks she has read Josiah's blog. She said she would get me all the contact info for the play and support groups in our area. It was so neat to talk to her and get to see her sweet little boy who may one day be Josiah's playmate. At the end of the show a lady came and bought a doll from me and she said it was so strange because she had just finished reading a book about a family adopting a boy from the same country Josiah is from. she was a sweet lady that had the best wishes for us. The lady across from us adopted her three children years ago and the lady down from us was adopted herself, there were story after story people would tell me about their adoption, or so in so they know having down syndrome, or about Josiah's country. So even though we didn't make much money it was a really neat day. Even if we just did it to meet the people we met it was so worth it. It really felt good to talk about Josiah out loud and not just thru my lap top.
