We are so excited, can not wait to meet them and I know you both are on cloud nine. There is nothing more precious than becoming a parent and we can't image doing it four times at once. We will continue to have you in our prayers and await for your return. Please let us know if there is anything that we can do here for either one of you or them. The Bush's
FOUR! That IS priceless! What wonderful news. Praying daily for you all. Can't wait to hear more good news! Love, Dana
Hallelujah! As Ronald says, "Ain't God Cool?". I am soooo excited. I am giddy. I called Emily and I couldn't even talk. ha I still will pray that everything goes swiftly and perfectly. I know you are both on cloud nine. Life is about to speed up for you and take a whole different path, but a good one.
Loads of Love & Prayers,
Shirley
FOUR - Congratulations!
Hey
When I saw the blog I screamed for joy and then immediately called Wanda. She had just gotten off the phone with you. What a joyous day! I can't wait to meet your family. Love you Leah
We are so excited for you!
Marianna Peipon

O.K. I am finally getting to read the blog. Jerry you should be a comic writer. My heart is racing for joy. I cannot believe that you/we got four wonderful children. They are simply beautiful. I can tell Daniel will be the one running onto the football field on Friday night to help his Dad. I think I might have to buy reserve seats just to have a place to sit. It's going to get crowded on the track. E-mail Lee and let him know if you need anything done on this end financially. I told him to get SKYPE downloaded at his office. I think I have gotten the word out to the Calame Family. Aunt Bootsie is spreading it on her end. As soon as things calm down, call me and lets get going on what I need to get done over here.
What a wonderful day. I even have someone to share my birthday month.
We love you,
Honey and Big Lee
This is so amazing! God is so good! I can't wait to see pictures, and- when you'll let us- come and hug them to pieces!!! Please know that we will continue to pray for the swiftness of paperwork and ease of transition for all of you!
Love you bunches!
Hil
Praise God! I bet your hearts just about burst with emotion when you first laid eyes on your precious children. They are just so cute!
(A picture of them has been circulating through Spain Park today.)
We have been praying (and will continue to pray) for your journey. Thanks for allowing all of us to share in the power of answered prayer. God is good ALL the time!
So happy for you,
Mandy Beason

AIN'T GOD COOL??
After parting the Red Sea and all the other various miracles he has performed he still has time to see that Jerry and Amanda get 4 children to love and take care. That's just exciting to me!!!!!!!
OUTSTANDING!
I will talk to the planning committee and see if we can make 4 more spaces at the 131st annual Hood Cousin Reunion. You know how hard they are to deal with. I believe that if I put in a good work that they will allow FOUR extra people!
On a more serious note we have been asking for God to put you with your children, now it's time for some serious THANKSGIVING PRAYERS!!!
We love you (all SIX of you)
Ron, Jan and Savannah
Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks.
Psalm 75:1a
Please forgive any typos that appear on this comment - I can barely see the computer screen for all the tears I (Kelley) am crying! We are so very happy for you. I know it has been a long "pregnancy" - however, bringing four precious children into your family is certainly worth the wait.
I ran across this poem a few years ago; I thought you might enjoy it:
MY HARVEST
I did not plant you, true,
but when the season is done,
When the alternative prayers for sun and rain are counted,
When the pain of weeding and the pride of watching are through,
I will hold you high.
A shining sheaf above the thousand seeds grown wild.
Not my planting, but, by heaven, My harvest, My child.
Carol Lynn Pearson
May God CONTINUE to bless your family,
Kelley and J.T.
Oh, Jerry & Amanda,
How exciting! They are so beautiful. I can't believe what a good time you're going to have. The look and your faces were so sweet. I know you've been through a lot to get to this day, but it will all be worth it. I know there's a 'Grandpa' up in Heaven that is celebrating with you. I'm sure he pulled some strings to help you, too. Have fun and I can't wait to see them. They are just little dolls. I'm also saying those prayers of thanksgiving.
Love,
Shirley
We are so happy for you. What a wonderful family. We pray that you will be granted your petition quickly and all be home soon. We hope to see you in June at the Calame family reunion.
God bless you all,
Love, Colinne and Jack
JERRY AND AMANDA

Hi,
My name is Tammy Huckabee we are in the process of adopting through Lifeline also. Our dossier is to be submitted on April 24. I have been watching a sight that has four children that are ready for adoption in the Ukraine. I am excited for your news. I was wondering if they are the same four. There are two blind children and two healthy children. They are precious. Just wondering if they are your four. Good luck on continuing your quest. We are enjoying your blog and watching your time there and hope to be there soon. Tammy
Wow! I'll tell Steve to free up some time to start on that addition at your house! Congratulations--they are all truly beautiful and we can't wait to see them when they get home!
Kristi
