~Welcome to The Sisemore Family's Journey with God! ~ God touched our hearts through adoption and bridged an Ocean to bring us our Noah! Noah entered our arms and family September 8, 2008!! Then 6 months later God showed us Jeremiah in Taiwan and Jeremiah entered our arms and family June 7, 2010! Please Join us for the journey of LIFE WITH NOAH and JEREMIAH as God teaches us to see life through them! Our special angels bring us soo much Joy!

Adoption is an amazing thing!

"By adopting a child and helping them reach their potential, they help us reach ours. An adopted child is not an unwanted child; to the contrary. They are a child who was searched for, prayed for, cried for, begged for; received by arms that ached, making empty hearts full. Love is meant to be shared."Author unknown

And I thought I knew what hard was...

I thought 14 and half months of fundraising was hard! Especially so soon after 10 and half months of fundraising for Noah! But I now know those times were so easy in comparison to this time in our life. We are on day 21 of the hospital and day 18 of PICU with my sweet frogie boy! Coming straight home from Taiwan and watching your new son fight for his life over and over, now THAT is hard!!! I don't think anyone envisions this happening and I have been through so many emotions and thoughts of what did I do to make this happen, did something happen on planes. Why why why! The docs say this sepsis and pneumonia were underlying for awhile but why didn't it show up and thank God it didn't happen on plane or right before we arrived and keep us from getting him! All along  during the journey and wait I kept saying I pray we learned what God had for us to learn in the waiting and now I say the same thing! Let me learn Lord! There is so much about this that is hard, watching doctors and Nurses literally run around scared
for your baby's life, watching the vitals crash, choosing between your critically ill new baby and your 3 year old whose whole world has changed and now he can't be with mommy every minute. It tore my heart in two having to leave Noah in the waiting room to be in here with Jeremiah and again having to leave Jeremiah at night with Bobby to go to a screaming  Noah in the waiting room!  Watching my daughter try to help Noah be ok without me and how hard that is for her and now watching her upset that Noah now prefers her to me and will cry for her. It kills her and me and Bobby cuz he wants Noah to want him. There is so much more I could share but you understand I think! A few have said they feel so sorry for me that I am going through this and that after all we went through to get Jeremiah we might loose him. Don't feel sorry for us!! One hour with that amazing baby made every second of it all worth it! He so blesses us! God gave me this amazing baby boy and no matter how hard this time is it's all about him and what he needs!! Even if the doctors are right and he is as bad as they think he soo deserve to know the Love of a family and to experiece as much of life as he can! I am doubting this post is making since and I am not sure why I am writing other than it's been a hard day, while asleep last night the night nurse changed Jeremiah's gown and didn't keep his paci and paci holder! The very first one is now gone! I have cried my eyes out all day and so has Jeremiah because he became very attachd to it all this time docs won't let him eat a bottle! I have been more emotional today since that happened! I don't know why this happened to Jeremiah and why he has not been able to be at home and experience family, his swing, start all his therapies ect. But I know that God had mercy and saved his life! Every time I think my baby had 500 times the normal Procalcitonin of sepsis and people die with regular sepsis I am more amazed at the power of God!!!! The doctors have said it is a miracle he lived to get to 
America and that he lived through this battle! We are still in icu but he is doing amazing!! Please forgive any comfusion In this as I am exhausted! 

To God be the glory, great things HE has done!!!!!!!! Sending this by the blessing of my phone!!

Kisses in the Wind

KISSES IN THE WIND
I hold you in my heart and touch you in my dreams.
You are here each day with me, at least that's how it seems.

I know you wonder where we are... what's taking us so long.
But remember child, I love you so and God will keep you strong.

Now go outside and feel the breeze and let it touch your skin...Because tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.

May God hold you in His hand until I can be with you.
I promise you, my darling, I'm doing all that I can do.

Very soon, you'll have a family for real, not just pretend.But for tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.


May God wrap you in His arms and hold you very tight.
And let the angels bring the kisses that I sent to you each night.


When Love Takes You In!
