Six of Us!: October 2008
http://sontert.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 21, 2008. Oh dear I'm now so attached to this baby! Sherae calls her "my little sister-friend". I don't know what I'd do without Sherae. She helps entertain my little person when I need to do things like shower! Simmi doesn't like anybody feeding her except me, but when I'm desperate then Sherae manages to get some food or milk in for me. Tyler is now a big brother. He's been the baby in the house for 12 years. It's so sweet to see him telling Simmi, "No, don't touch that! I was looking ...

Six of Us!: It's Finally Official
http://sontert.blogspot.com/2009/04/its-finally-official.html
Friday, April 10, 2009. Simmi is ours for 2 years officially now! I'm so happy and so blessed (even though she's been awake since 05h30 on a Saturday morning whilst my darling husband snores peacefully). I've spent the last few days of the holidays rushing around getting various forms completed, seeing social workers, police officers and officers of the court - exhausting! I just wish it was for longer! April 10, 2009 at 11:34 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Simmi and the family. Simple template&...

Six of Us!: August 2009
http://sontert.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 13, 2009. First Official Visitation - Assignment Fm Mama Kat. My baby's getting big! Actually, she's getting bigger than I thought because I've recently found her correct date of birth and she's two months older than her mother originally told me. Honestly, how can you not remember your baby's birthday? Me (extra happy face): Come Simmi, say hello to your other mama! Simmi (sucking finger furiously): . (signifies silence). Simmi's Mom (Sibongile): . Simmi: Mama (holding arms out to me).

http://sontert.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 6, 2010. Finally, Simmi has a name. Finally, she is a South African citizen. Finally, she has an identity. Simmi's adoption was finalized on 12 May 2010, and we were presented with the final documentation on 23 August 2010. She is now named Samantha Rachel Simphiwe - however I have yet to recieve her new birth certificate as the Department of Home Affairs has been on strike since 24 August 2010!

Six of Us!: March 2009
http://sontert.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 26, 2009. Assignment from Mama's Losing It: Somebody I'm praying for. After reading Mama Kat's post on this subject, I am using this prompt to tell my story of answered prayer - as well as continued prayer. I prayed and prayed. I cried and I prayed. I went for tests, I went for scans. I swung between faith as solid as a rock to being filled with doubt and anger with God. God does answer prayer - just not always the way we expect. So who am I praying for right now? Thursday, March 19, 2009.

Six of Us!: November 2008
http://sontert.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 19, 2008. Assignment - The Last Time I Laughed Really Hard - Vuvuzela. Let me elaborate. The call of the vuvuzela sounds much like the trumpeting of an enraged elephant with a sore throat. It is LOUD, and after about 30 seconds, it is ANNOYING! David's vuvuzela gets hauled out of the cupboard regularly. The kids think it's wonderful fun, and he blasts it at the TV during rugby matches, at the dogs, at the kids, at me . Friday, November 14, 2008. This is a horrible post to write. I...

Six of Us!: Dear Mr President
http://sontert.blogspot.com/2010/02/dear-mr-president.html
Monday, February 22, 2010. Dear President Zuma,. We wish to adopt Simphiwe, but adoption cannot be finalised without a birth certificate, and home affairs will not issue a birth certificate without adoption papers! Simphiwe was born here, she has never left South Africa. She is not Zimbabwean. She has been living with us, a South African family for most of her life, and will continue to do so. Please help us - we are desperate to give her an identity and stability in knowing she belongs.

Thursday, April 2, 2009. So now our case has been postponed until said documents are fetched, and next week the court is on holiday. They may be able to fit us in tomorrow, but I'm not holding my breath. Perhaps God is teaching me patience - AGAIN. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Simmi and the family.
