Roland Wesley

       I may not have been very clear about what I am "screaming and yelling" about.  I have met many families through a online support group who have adopted children with arthrogryposis.  Many more children are still abandoned in EE orphanages.  These children need to get out of there quickly and get the best care possible, first in a loving home, and then with the best doctor in the world,Dr. Harold van Bosse ( I say that with great affection, because he is my daughter's doctor also).  I have screamed and yelled for several children already, which means I borrow material from another blog, so hopefully, someone who reads my blog will read their story.
          A friend has adopted an adorable little boy from Ukraine.  Theirs is a wonderful story of hope, love and faith (and a lot of money, it costs $25,000 to bring an orphan home, totally worth every). penny).  Roland is cute beyond belief and yes, he has arthrogryposis.  His mom has an amazing blog which tells the whole adventure of their adoption of Roland.
           Her latest post is about the good, the bad and the ugly :) of adoption and his treatment for arthrogryposis.  Not only did they travel to Ukraine to adopt him ( two months ago), but this weekend they flew to Philadelphia to see the aforementioned world expert Dr. van Bosse.   They have a very happy ending to this trip.  They ended up having a good times with friends, two happy children (daughter Laelia) and the beginning of treatment to get Roland to be able to walk.
     So please read her blog post http://www.laeliasky.com/2012/09/23/first-trip-to-philly-with-rolly/.  This will really make you smile on a Monday, which is always useful.  Please say prayers for other children who are waiting in EE, who need families to adopt them.
   I have videos at the bottom of this page if you want to learn more about the situations in the orphanages.

Roland Wesley, isn't he the cutest!!!!

Roland and his new family! 

I am so happy to SCREAM and YELL for this family and wish them everlasting happiness.  Roland will be getting treatment for his arthrogryposis in Philadelphia where the amazing Dr. Harold van Bosse practices at Shriner's Hospital for Children, the same place where his sister goes.
