Category Archives: Day in the Life My precious friend Stacey Maljian, a volunteer with New Horizons for Children–the same organization we partnered with to host this summer, emailed me a couple of weeks ago to ask if I would help advocate for some of the children in the winter program who are available for adoption–but were not able to be adopted […]  Dearest children. One day momma is gonna make this blog into blog-to-book–so you can look back and read all about our crazy. And unfortunately momma hasn’t been able to blog in the last week or so. Gonna try and catch up a bit right now! Oh where do I start. I totally skipped Christmas–mostly because […] We are just getting home from celebrating Christmas…yes…a few days late:) We left the house for the first time in 6 days today after all of us spent the last week knocked out with a terrible virus/cold/flu…not sure which–which consisted of aches, fevers, hugging the toilet, stuffy noses and coughing our lungs out. Sounds jolly […] Stopping in prayer and lifting you, your family, and your little across the world up to the Father NOW. 🙂 Merry Christmas from our family to yours! Praying we will all be well enough tomorrow to go see my family (had to cancel our plans for today when the bug hit me too)–and praying for our sweet boy Zeke across the world this season. So much to look forward to! When we had to miss […]  …that we slowed down more than ever–but not on our own accord. Richard caught the virus sweeping through America…and Parker followed. So we’ve all been homebound–with no visitors or family other than ourselves this Christmas (minus Gigi doing a quick Gatorade, cough syrup, necessity grocery run for us the other day)…other than that–it’s just the […] Ha, I like the t-shirt. Vidalia is my neck of the woods! Hope all are better soon. Seriously cute photo props! And I resolved to go simple with this Christmas too. And it hasn’t been better. Hope you all are feeling better soon! |

just curious, ignorance to how all this works… if he is aging out of their system why could he not be a permanent part of his host family? he will be a free citizen right? can he not go and live wherever he wants to? i don’t understand why he can not stay with this family? even if legality issues on US side keep him from being adopted he could still be with them and be their son. right?!
I’m curious what are the age requirements that prevent Edgar’s host family from adopting?
This is a truly heart warming story…can you tell me what a “minimum age issue” is?
Thank you for giving him love and affirmation! We have the opportunity to sponser boys through intl. and I pray theyll know God and grow into wise Christian men..Thank you for letting everyone meet Edgar and I will place him in my prayers and ask God to cover and protect and provide a home for him! I pray he knows how important he is to God and that God has a very special plan personaly for his life!!God Bless you both!
Hello! I have a friend, who posted this to their Facebook page. Could u tell me more about him, or send me a private message? Not sure how all this works, but his story breaks my heart
If anyone is interested more in Edgars–please email the host mom at the email at the bottom of the blog entry: mdavisca@hotmail.com
She will be able to quickly put you in touch with Leigh Ann NHFC. Also feel free to contact New Horizons for Children through their website.
The age requirement for Latvia is that BOTH parents MUST be 18 years or older than the child. For Edgars, BOTH parents must be 33 years or older. (The host family does not meet this requirement.)
This absolutely breaks my heart. What a beautiful child. I hope you’ll please update when a family has been found!
We would love to find out more about what would be involved in making Edgar a part of our family. We live in Hendersonville, Tennessee. We have four children, with two at home. Jessie soon to be 18 and Juliana 13. We have two kids who have gone on to live their own productive, wonderful lives. One who is 21 and attending college and our David who lives in San Francisco teaching music. We adopted David when he was almost 4. David had lived in 13 different foster homes before coming to us. David was considered a special needs child because of extreme abuse, and suffering from ADHD and PTS from his abuse with horrible night terrors and a severe speech impediment. Had someone told me in our early days that David would go on to be Valedictorian of his senior class I never would have believed them. My husband and I are 41 and 45. We have a large 4 bedroom home with plenty of room in our home and hearts for a young teen. Thank you. Jenny
Where is Edgar living now, what state?
My heart feels so desperate to have him in our family. I have no idea where to start, we have no extra income to travel, but if there is a way to raise it in time to get him. Please tell me how. I sent my husband your blog…please pray his heart is a touched as mine is….sigh. Edgar should be in our home. I have 5 children, ages 15,10,8,7, and 3. My oldest is a boy who is also very kind and sweet and very patient. He could share his room. We don’t have a huge home, but it is just enough. Is he scared of dogs?…we have two a puppy and a large kind dog. So many questions…I guess I should back up and see if we even would qualify. Thanks for posting his story.

We aren’t fostering or looking to adopt but this story touched my heart and has made me really pray for him…any luck?
Please tell me how this works! A friend posted this and adopted an older child/children has been on our hearts and I think my husband and I would meet the age requirements for Edgar (I am 33 and my husband is 35). We have not even begun an adoption process…outside of our hearts, but I’d like to know what all the adoption of Edgar would require. Please email me! Thank you!
This story touched my heart when I read it.
A friend of mine posted this about Edgar. My husband and I don’t have any children in the home right now. They are grown. I am not sure about adopting and what that will require. Would you mind emailing me some more information on how and what to do to adopt.
Thank you so much and God bless all you have done!
