  3. I'm a parent of a child with EB. You're doing the right thing. Not that you had to be convinced. :)

    Go forth and be awesome.

  6. What an amazing journey you are on! Both you and Raul are so blessed that God chose for you to find each other. We were found too and I am forever in awe of God's timing in bringing us our little one. If someone had asked would I do what we (as my dh is just as hands on and in live with her as myself) are doing I probably would have laughed and said "too old". Anyways, we were chosen by God to care for a little one who happens to have quadriplegic CP - I am planning out our adoption announcements right now - life is truly an amazing journey and you are blessed at such a young age to totally get what life is truly about - keep doing what you are doing and you will truly live an enriched life.

    I live in Castle Rock, CO (20 minutes south of Denver) and would love to help you and support you and Raul in any way I can. If there is anything you need for yourself or Raul, of if you need company please don't hesitate to contact me. I would be honored to help you in any way that I can. You can contact me at kristigatewood@aol.com or find me on Facebook at facebook.com/kristigatewood

  13. God bless you - you truly are Jesus' hands and feet in caring for the ones the world calls the "least of these." Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am so glad that Courtney told us about you. It makes the whole day better, hearing that someone like you is living in this world and reaching out in such magnificent ways.

    And Raul, you are a darling boy! Praying for you!!

  22. Hi Caroline, it has been such a long time since we spoke. I miss our communications back and forth. You are doing such a fabulous job with Raul. What a lucky little guy he is to have you. Our little guy will be receiving hearing aids in 2 weeks and that will be a test for later placing cocklear implants. We pray that will be a success. He is doing great otherwise. I pray for you an Raul each day and and will continue. God Bless
