I spoke last night about this amazing family whose baby is sick. They took her for screening this morning but won't get the results until Friday so they won't be leaving tonight with the rest of the group. If she is sick with Hep C, they will have to give her back to the orphanage and either refile their paperwork under "Special Needs" or wait for a referral for a new baby. We are just sick for them. Robert and 2 of the other Priesthood holders were able to give their family blessings and they have such strong faith in Christ, I'm sure they will feel the blessings from that. We are all trying to work together to strengthen them and support them and gather funds in case they have to stay here longer. Anyone who may want to help, please contact me.
Our family is doing great and so, so grateful that Rosie is healthy, we just can't imagine being faced with what this family is going through.
I will post more pix later, but in the meantime, I have a couple of blogs from 3 of the other families we are travelling with. They have lots of picutures and have been much better than I about posting details. Please check them out if you would like. They have some pictures of Rosie too.

Dear Holly, Robert & Family,
We have been following your journey and have enjoyed your insights! You have a beautiful family! Rosie is such a cutie! We know the Rockwells and didn't realize the magnitude of their challenges until we read your post. How wonderful of your group to be so supportive of them. We would love to help in someway. Please let us know how we can be of service. Have a safe journey home.
Calista,
We just got the great news that the Rockwells are coming home with Elainea. They are the most awesome family and I think that all the concern, prayers and love that have been poured out on their behalf have really helped them. I am glad to know that there are so many willing to support them. I really think they made the right decision and I know it was a difficult one for them as they have lots of legitimate concerns.
