I must say this has been the most emotional day I have been through in years. Such a mix of joy and sorrow. Miracle is safe in LA.

But now that the hours of tears have slowed down a bit.. I have to say that I feel so much joy knowing that SHE HAS MADE IT!!!

From the day I first found the story of Miracle on Taufau's website.. in her amazing efforts to save Miracle.. I have felt an overwhelming presence of God pushing me to take up her cause for the "children of Samoa".

Anyone who has ever ventured to Samoa or who has had the privilege of being loved by a Samoan family.. knows well that the prayers of the people are sincere and constant.

When you have such an absolutely gorgeous island... with beaches that are blindingly beautiful, you often forget that in the midst of the beauty lies suffering. This can be found all over the world, but in my case I was blessed to hear the 'cries of the poor' for the children of Samoa.

There is no ONE person you can point too that has given Miracle a chance at life. There is only one God.. that loves her so much that he decided to visit us through the soul of this precious infant.. rightly named Miracle. 







I have never in my life seen anyone bring about so much joy, love, unity, friendship, bridge-mending, hope, faith, laughter and tears.

I seed Miracle's life as a seed that was handed over to a few souls that God entrusted her too. Those who have been handed this seed had the opportunity to plant it... or throw it to the wind.

I thank almighty God for gifting me 'spiritual eyes'... so that I recognized his heart crying out for LOVE.

Nothing we can do can bring Miracle to the point of visual 'perfection' in the eyes of the world.. just as there is no way we can bring those we meet and who have had contact with Miracle to a place where they can see her as BEAUTIFUL, PRECIOUS, ANGELIC and a holy child of God.

The last few weeks has been like a sifting of souls. Those who see her with spiritual eyes are moved to tears. Those who look at her through the world's eyes see the mounting bills and consider what we have done as a foolish waste of money.

Yesterday, a wonderful, caring woman Susan Guidi offered Seffy a sonogram of her baby. I pushed and pushed for this so we would know for certain IF there was a problem with KFC (the nickname we gave baby because of thier love of Kentucky fried Chicken and because the initials were perfectly matched to KRISTIN, CAROL and FAY!!)
They took Seffy, Mikaele, Carol and the news crew in and left the every sulking KRISTIN outside.

Needless to say I kept my EAR pinned to the door. Buckets of tears were cried as I heard her say.. "We can rule out Cleft palate, spina bifida.. the heart looks wonderful as does the rest of the body."
Photo's of KFC.. NOW named "Peni-Joe-KFC-Mike" showed a perfectly beautiful baby boy.

On the way home Mikaele shared about the conversation he had with the doctors the day Miracle was born. He was told Seffy's uterus was torn and should be operated on. She would have a difficult time getting pregnant and if she did become pregnant .. that baby would be FAR WORSE than Miracle.

As GOD loves to have HIS WAY.. She was pregnant one month after Miracle's birth, her torn uterus is FINE and SO is Baby PJ.

As we all hugged and cried over the relief that PJ would not have problems. I received an email from Dr. Ragheb, chief of Neurosurgery. (Miracle's MD) He told me IS willing to come to Samoa to teach the surgeons who might be interested to do the surgery that saved Miracle's life.

So our little PRESHIE's seed has already bloomed. NOT only in the hearts of the thousands who have written, donated and befriended us but in the heart of her MD, Dr. Ragheb who will soon travel to Samoa to train MD's to do the surgery that saved Miracle's life.
