As we've spent a lot of time waiting, especially during the last four months since we first set foot in court, we've drawn strength from encouraging comments by so many people-- many of whom we have never met. As we prepare for what will hopefully be our last court date, we want to take a quick "snapshot" in time to have for our kids when they are much older.
Could you please do us a favor? If you have helped our kids by making phone calls, sending emails, or just sending prayers, could you please post your name and where you are from to the blog OR send a quick email to leveragesynergies-at-gmail*dot-com.
Obviously our goal as parents is to make our kids feel as loved as possible. If our kids struggle later in life with identity or purpose, maybe it will help to know how many people cared about them during a very difficult time. And hopefully, knowing how much they are loved will help nurture an inner desire to "give back".
Asante sana,
Jeromy

I used to play with Sundi almost every day at Happy Life during my study abroad at USIU in Nairobi during the fall of 2006.
I miss the way she used to say the ABCs, because she knew them, but couldn't totally hear them to say the full sound. You knew that she knew them, but just wasn't able to express herself, and it was precious because she would just do it anyway!
And she used to love to play with my hair, which was bad news after they had given her candy and she wanted to play with my hair with sticky sucker fingers. I couldn't tell you how many times I had to get candy out of my hair, but she was so sweet and loving that I just couldn't bear to tell her no.
Oh, and the one time that she figured out all of the sounds in the word HAPANA...! She replied to everything we said to her for about a week with HAPANA!
She is such a precious, beautiful, kind-hearted child, and I thank God every day for the blessing that such a wonderful, dedicated family found her.
Bwana awabariki milele!

Jeromy and Kim - I recently made it to your blog and have been reading up on everything that is happening. Oh my! I am praying and pleading for you and your beautiful children. You are such wonderful people, and your hearts and faith give us all hope and joy! I will continue to pray and do whatever I can to help your family.
