Adoption Trip: first 3 days --Eric

We are finishing up day three as a family of 6 and we've already seen the beginnings of the beautiful transformation that He will bring about over time.

As you might imagine, day 1 was pretty difficult. Pierce has spent all his life in an institution and has little ability to connect or interact in healthy ways. In the morning we spent about 2 hours at the civil affairs office signing papers after our initial meeting with him.  He wept, screamed, and shouted over and over again "I want to go home. Mama, please let me go home."  He was terrified of us and desperate to return "home".  Once we left the office to return to the hotel he screamed at the top of his lungs all the way up the elevator and for the next hour in our room.

Eventually he began to calm down. We ate noodles in our room and spent 4 hours at the hotel pool. Pierce loved swimming!  Throughout the afternoon we got many smiles and much laughter out of the little guy. He continued to ask about going home but the question wasn't accompanied with the tears any longer.  The day ended well as we sang songs and prayed as a family.  Each night we sing this song together inserting a different family members' name for each verse: "Pierce, Pierce, Pierce, you are very special. With your black hair and your brown eyes God made you very special." By night 2 Pierce had begun trying to sing along and as I type this post, he is singing it to himself in the bed next to me while looking at books.  We look forward to the day that as a result of the Father's love he knows for certain the truth of those words.

Sheldon was somewhat confused by hearing Pierce's constant pleading to go home. Finally he asked us, "why don't you let him go home? He says he wants to go home." It was really confusing for the little guy.  We did the best we could in explaining to him that it is good for Pierce to have a family and that he will grow to love us all. He still seemed a bit skeptical.

Day 2 began with a trip back to the civil affairs office where Pierce was to see some of the workers of the orphanage again. It was a night and day difference from the previous day.  Instead of screaming and crying as they left or as we left, he calmly said goodbye to them and happily held our hand down the stairs and into a taxi. The tense, nervously shaking body we had held on day 1 was now calm and relaxed.  Already trust was being built.

We continue to shower him with love, smiles, gentleness, and prayer, and know that the Holy Spirit will renew, fill, and redeem the hurts and voids of his past.

As one might expect, he has numerous behavioral issues that are quite difficult to see and deal with. In other words, we have a long way to go. But whether it's his "Wo ai ni" (I love you) response to us telling him we love him, or his "please" and "thank you", or the returned smile, or the joy he shows occasionally after obeying us....we already see glimpses of what's to come. Each night we go to bed exhausted because of the need to constantly watch his every move (he's a very active child, with very active hands, and isn't used to boundaries and expectations).  But each night we can sense progress has been made.

We continue to praise God for bringing him to us and know that He will continue to supply all we need.

Didn't see that coming!-- Eric

It's great to be back home! Our 28 hour journey went extremely smooth and we arrived back in Shiyan just in time for the first sunny day with no rain the city has had in 12 days.  We're enjoying catching up with dear friends and making new ones.  The overwhelming feeling we all have is that this truly feels like home- and for that we are thankful.

A new family has moved into the Pritchard's old apartment. They have a 12 year old boy and 8 year old girl.  Although we're missing the Pritchards a great deal, it's been good getting to know this wonderful family.  We're so thankful the boys have some friends to roam the campus with.

During our 10 weeks in America Sheldon grew 1 1/4 inches. The little guy is thriving in every way! However, something totally unexpected and shocking has happened.  Sheldon forgot how to speak Chinese....completely!  At first he had a hard time even understanding what people were saying- which shocked and appalled those whom he had spoken with regularly last semester.  They would speak to him and he would look confused and say, "I'm sorry, I don't understand."  It seems that after a couple of days of hearing it he can understand most things that people say now but he only replies in English.  We even had a student tell him basic vocabulary such as hand, foot, hair, eyes, etc., and asked him to repeat it.  He sounded like me speaking Chinese! His pronunciation and tone was completely off.  You'd think it would jar his memory and he'd access that part of his brain again but so far it's as though he's never spoken Chinese prior to this.  This is sad for us.  We really wanted him to retain his native language.  We're going to be very deliberate and determined to keep up his "Chinese lessons" once we return from getting Pierce.

Our train leaves in 6 hours!  We will have him in our arms Sunday evening American time.

One Journey Ends and Another Begins- Eric

After a wonderful summer crisscrossing America visiting family and friends we are about to settle back into life in China.  We return to a life and place that has become home for us, although home will be different this year.  As planned, Deryk, Tiffany, Hannah, Ayden, and Eli have moved back to America.  The "Pritch" portion of team Pritchport will be dearly missed. We're so thankful for the gift of the past two years.  They are such a special family and such dear friends.  May God bless your new beginning and may He fill your lives with His presence in new and exciting ways!  We love you!

Three days after arriving back in Shiyan we will be traveling to Wuhan to get Pierce!  This much anticipated moment will be the culmination of so many prayers and tears.  On Saturday, September 22, 2012 we first laid eyes on him and named him Pierce- because he pierced our hearts. In the physical, all the doors to adoption were firmly closed and it seemed the answer was absolutely "no." Yet we came to realize that in the spiritual the answer was positively "yes" and we would need to simply wait for His timing and His might to move mountains.  As it turns out our "gotcha moment" will be September 22, two years to the day of our first meeting.  We've only seen him a handful of times since that moment but he has been a constant presence in our hearts and prayers.  His little world is about to get rocked but we know that God will continue to fill his heart with His love and enable him to attach with his new family.

This whole process has been a faith stretching, faith strengthening journey.  Our whole family has grown in our reliance and trust in His good, pleasing, and perfect plan. Our God is faithful and our God is powerful! Thank you Father for choosing us for Sheldon and Pierce. And thank you for never leaving us alone but always giving us exactly what we need each step of the way.  As we finally and forever scoop Pierce up into our arms we conclude the journey towards adoption as we simultaneously begin a new journey towards bonding as a family of six.  Thank you for your many prayers along the way!
 

5 about to be 6...in awe! - by Eric

Overwhelmed. That's my answer when asked how I'm doing after the first three weeks of having our precious Sheldon with us. Not a stressed, frantic overwhelmed; more like a goofy grin, eye-brows raised, "Are you sure you think we can handle this?" kind of overwhelmed. Life is good- crazy, yes, but good.  We feel God's presence and His leading and that is honestly the absolute only reason why the overwhelmed, inadequate, 'how in the world' feeling doesn't swamp us. Sheldon is a treasure and we are eternally grateful (and humbled) God led us to each other.

The overwhelmed feeling began the day we left to get Sheldon. A couple hours before we got on the train we get the call that unofficially Beijing has agreed to allow us to adopt Pierce. An immediate deluge of tears and prayers was released as our family (and the student who happened to be at our apartment) fell to our knees in blubbering worship and thanksgiving. Two weeks later, the day we arrive back at our apartment with Sheldon, we got the call that Beijing had officially given Pierce's file (the file the orphanage said they would never start) to our agency. God's timing is perfect- and humorous! More than a year of "no" and "no way" had finally given way to "yes!" God has changed hearts and moved mountains. We are overwhelmed by His grace, provision, and presence. And yet, we are also overwhelmed at the reality of doubling our boy-load in the span of just a few months and the prospect of coming up with $15,000 in the next 3 months.

We'll be picking Pierce up and bringing him home around the end of August or beginning of September.  Please, please surround all 6 of us in prayer. If you are in a position to help provide the money for the adoption please, please consider sending it our way. Or, if you know of any organizations or churches who have adoption grants please, please let us know.  We are fully confident of God's leading us to adopt these two boys in the span of just a few months, yet we are overwhelmed- by His provision and plan, and by the weight of it all.

Grace and peace to you from the Davenport clan!

Home at last...as 5! ----by Eric

Finally after a year of red tape, lots of waiting and praying, and a whirlwind 15 days in which we spent 60+ hours on trains our family is back home in Shiyan and settling into a new rhythm for a family of 5.

As we waited inside a room at Shepherd's Field Children's Village (the foster care facility he's lived at for the past 16 months) awaiting the moment when Sheldon would tromp across the playground to meet his forever family we knew all kinds of confusion, fears, nerves, doubts and emotions would be swirling around his little heart.  This would mark the 4th major upheaval of his young life- all the faces, routines, and places which had grown familiar suddenly removed and replaced with unknowns.  So much for a little one to process even once in a lifetime!  It's now been 17 days since the moment he entered that room and into our family and there's been not a hint of anything other than excitement and full acceptance of his new family and life.

We've been praying for such a long time that God will prepare us for him and him for us and we can now see how the prayers have been answered.  We give praise to our Heavenly Father and to his caregivers at SFCV who did such a marvelous job preparing him for a family.  We're realistic in anticipating that new emotions, questions, and phases of grief will surface in the weeks, months, and years ahead, but we're thankful that the immediate transition has seemed so smooth for him.  And that's with us all living in 1 hotel room for 2 weeks!  By the end of the 2 weeks I was having emotions and griefs surface! :0)

Obviously there's been significant adjustments to be made by all 5 of us and each day has it's share of ups and downs but the ups are slowly beginning to dominate the downs.  Having a 6 year old little brother has been a shock to the system for Brinson and Aiden, but they are making the transition and have already planned or made a few movies with the newest member of Brother Alliance.

Sheldon is such a happy little guy! (unless of course it's bedtime or he's being asked to do something he would rather not do, in which case he acts as you'd expect. :) But he's even making huge strides in that regard as well!)  He absolutely adores his two big brothers ("Franceen" and Aiden) and is quick to join in anything they are doing. This helps with teaching and training. We'll say: "Brinson, it's time to wash your hands and go to the table," and Brinson will say, "yes sir" and head to the sink.  "Aiden, it's time to wash your hands and go to the table" and Sheldon will answer along with Aiden "yes sir" and follow to the sink. He's observing everything they do and is real quick to remind them to say "thank you" for any and everything that he does for them.

We've discovered that Sheldon LOVES to help around the house which has been a great way for us to bond throughout the day.  He cooks with us, does laundry with us, and wants do the dishes alongside us.

Although the aunties who cared for Sheldon each day at SFCV spoke only Chinese there were several foreigners who lived there which made white faces and the English language less foreign for him.  The older children (ages 5-19) have classes in one of the buildings each weekday for several hours with English being one of the many subjects learned.  Sheldon came to us knowing many of his ABCs, 123s, and several simple phrases.  His basic English and our basic Chinese allow us to communicate everyday needs without much problem.  Are you hungry? Time to wash our hands. Time to go to sleep. Do you need to use the bathroom? etc, etc. has been pretty simple.  His English has already made huge strides. Everyday he busts out with a couple new phrases we haven't heard from him before which he apparently picked up by hearing us.  Needless to say, our Chinese has improved quite a bit as well.  We also have friends we've invited over to translate for us when there is something really important we need to tell him.

Today is the first day our family gets back to teaching and studying and so we're still going day-by-day in figuring out how life is going to work.  There's a lot going on but it's all good.  We're made aware each day of our need and dependance on Him for strength, patience, energy, and grace.  Praise be to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for bringing Sheldon into our life and giving us all that we need each and every day.

Our first few weeks as a family of 5! by Tiffany

Where do I even start?  I knew that letting so much time pass would make it hard to write, but it seemed all I could do at the time!   

First of all I must say that God is so good!  In all the ups and downs of the past 3 weeks we have clearly felt His presence, His changing power, His encouragement and His faithfulness. 

Thank you Lord.

So, here goes in no particular order – sorry it’s so lengthy, obviously you can just pick through what you’d like to read:

·         The night before our “Gotcha Day”(the day we got to pick up Eli) I was lying in bed talking with Hannah and as the reality of what was about to happen started to sink in, a whole range of emotions swept over me.   To be completely honest, one of these was sadness for the loss of the family we have always known and what that would mean for Hannah and Ayden.  I knew there would be a lot of good, but I also knew that there would be many challenges ahead and that things would never be the same.  So I began to pray and within the first few minutes of sharing with God, I believe He so clearly spoke to my heart and mind interrupting my own thoughts, different than my own thoughts, came this message as clear as day, “Do not look back – no one who looks back is fit for service in the Kingdom of God.”  I felt instant excitement and peace.  I didn’t have to fear anything because we were right where God wanted us to be, right where He called us and led us and He would work out all the other details.  Then a series of thoughts that weren’t quite so clear followed:  something to the effect of “I have given you x# of years like things are now and it has been a great blessing.  Now I am giving something new, but if you spend all your time looking back, you will miss it. I want to bless you all here.  I will be with you.”  Thank you God!  I consider that message a great treasure!  You have taken away all doubt and fear. 

·         Our trip consisted of two parts: one week in Taiyuan – the capital of Eli’s home province and one week in Guangzhou where the U.S. Consulate is.  Over these 14 days, we essentially were waiting for lots of paperwork to come through with just an occasional meeting here and there so we had LOTS of time to fill.  We would walk around the city and do all sorts of things like visit parks, eat out at restaurants we do not have in our town like Starbucks and Pizza Hut and go to stores that we do not have in Shiyan.    We rented and rode a paddle boat, went to a book store, navigated the subway to many scenic or historic spots in the city and did school work in the hotel. We also got to go to an amusement park with a precious family of 12 we met who were adopting there 7^th (now that helped put things in perspective for me).  So needless to say, our two weeks were certainly not your normal day to day routine.  We got to experience many firsts with Eli that he seemed to really enjoy!  So even though being away from home and in a hotel for that long was actually kind of hard,  we had a lot of focused time together as a family with little distraction so that was a real blessing.  For about a week after arriving home, Eli would keep asking if we could go on the boat not realizing that those things aren’t things we do every day!

·         Although Eli got used to sleeping with us in the hotel, and he was not very happy to find out that the second pillow on Deryk and my bed at home was not his, he now goes happily to his own bed in a matter of minutes without a fuss.  We count this a real blessing as he is quite a handful in his waking moments – I am thankful that the sleeping ones are truly restful!

·         He jumped right into wrestling with Deryk and Ayden – he can hold his own too!

·         I love watching the way he just joins right in with all our family traditions.  Some things he doesn’t even understand but he is learning that they are what our family does and he is happily taking part! 

·         He seems to be used to doing what he wants to do - without a lot of instruction, correction and follow through – so I must say he is certainly trying to see just how far he can push things!    It is an added challenge to do all this teaching with a language barrier, but I must say that even so, each and every day we are encouraged by something he does that shows he is getting it and he will come around with time!   It reminds me of the way God changes us into His likeness little by little because all at once would be more painful than we could bear.  I am thankful we have a patient God and I am being challenged to be much more patient myself. 

·         We are looking up “signs” seemingly every other minute!  I am thankful for free ASL Dictionary Apps!  We are trying to help him transition from a lifelong habit of communicating through pushing and grunts to using Sign Language.  Sometimes he doesn’t want to use them, but for the most part he is trying and really thinking of the right sign to use.   When this clicks, he is just going to take off!  How exciting it will be for him to have his little world opened up! 

·         He is literally the ONLY Chinese person I know who does not absolutely LOVE either rice or noodles.  Not only does he not absolutely love one of them, he doesn’t even like either of them?!  What he wants instead is MEAT, meat and more meat. 

·         This time has proven to be one in which God is teaching me many lessons.  I knew I still had a lot of growing to do, but these last few weeks have magnified my awareness of just how much and in exactly which ways.  I am being reminded to constantly fall before the throne of God and ask Him to fill me by His Spirit with wisdom, patience, selflessness, humility and love.  I am so thankful He is willing and able to change us and patient enough to do so with mercy.

·         I am grateful that although a transition like the one Eli was required to make (from a life in an orphanage to a home) would seem incredibly hard, he seems to genuinely like being with us.  Of course, he doesn’t like the new boundaries that he has been given and he constantly tries to push them, but that is to be expected at first.  What he does love is all the things that make us a family.  Cleaning, cooking and eating together (he is my ever present helper and doesn’t like a dish to be left in the sink – sometimes out of nowhere he will sign to me “let’s go wash dishes or cook” and then just wiggle with excitement), and our routines of quiet time, school time, play time outside and bedtime.  Going to the store together and having a say in what we pick out and helping me with the laundry – all these things seem to give him a comforting sense of belonging and purpose and he seems very happy in that and for that I am thankful.

·         Many children that grow up in an orphanage have a felt need to hoard things and carry them around in their pockets or place them under their pillows.  This can range from food to their toys or even someone else’s stuff.  This has certainly proven true with Eli.  Sometimes it is just cute when you look at him and his pockets are bulging with his toy cars, a flashlight and boxes of raisins.  Just the other day, he asked me if he could change pants because the ones he had on weren’t tight enough around the waist to hold up the stash in his pockets!  However, sometimes it is not so cute as we are also finding that he occasionally takes things that do not belongs to him without asking and you can see from the sneakiness and the look on his face that he is fully aware that he should not have done it.  We are praying faithfully that God will bring healing to whatever it is inside of him that has felt the need for this.  Please join us in prayer for healing and for wisdom as to how to best correct and guide him in these times. 

·         I often think of just how odd you would think it would feel, from Eli’s perspective, to just hop right into someone’s family you don’t even know.  Eat their food, wear the clothes they give you, go where they tell you to go even when you have no clue where that is or what is next, snuggle up to them and let them help you in the bathroom if you have a need etc., etc. and I realize just what a trooper he really is.  He is just going with the flow really.  And yet, not only is he going with the flow but he seems to be really enjoying it!  It is sweet and sad – sad that he would feel such a need in those areas that it would only feel good and not odd (not knowing that is how he feels but judging so from his actions) but sweet that he is experiencing the joy of those needs being met.

·         Poor kiddo, we had to get him to the dentist right away as so many of his teeth are rotten.  Three root canals on the first visit and he needs 4 more on the next and then 2 teeth must be pulled.  He was impressively brave for a large part of the visit until the pain just got too much and then fear kicked in.  After his first appointment we let him pick a balloon from a vendor out front of the hospital.  As he was reaching and pointing upward I realized he wanted the biggest one – Hello Kitty which was even bigger than him.  You should have seen us on the bus ride!  Hello Kitty practically needed her own seat!  Thankfully he seemed fine once we got home and didn’t seem to associate the painful situation with us. 

·         Eli is a kisser and a snuggler!  I think he is making up for lost time.  And I guess because he can’t hear, his kisses come out a little different – more like a puff of air and saliva but he means well!  He also still likes to be held even though he is 7 and quite big – Hannah loves this part and is therefore acquiring quite the muscles!

·         Eli often stares at people with a blank look or sometimes even a kind of mean look, so I am trying to teach him to smile.  It is the cutest things because when I remind him, he instantly puts on a huge grin with his little under bite and crooked teach and it just warms my soul!

·         One day, in the hotel, Hannah realized that she couldn’t find Herby – a tiny mouse stuffed animal she has had since she was 7.  Although stuffed animals have taken on a different meaning at her age, Herby was still really special to her, full of many wonderful memories and had accompanied her on many big adventures.   So we looked and looked for him.   After searching everywhere, talking to the housekeeper and the front desk and searching Eli’s bags and pockets (poor guy but at the time being we just don’t know), all we could figure is that Herby, small as he was, had gotten swept up with the laundry when the maids changed the sheets.  After 2 or 3 days had passed with no Herby - I laid in bed and prayed,  "God, not because finding Herby is really a must, but just because You can, would you please help us find Herby because things are a little hard right now and it would just be really special for Hannah."  Then the next morning - we were standing in the hall of our 9 story hotel, waiting for the elevator to come and there was Herby staring me right in the face!  You know those cigarette trash cans that has a place on top for cigarettes and a small rectangular opening for trash below - well Herby was positioned perfectly in that rectangle just looking me straight in the eyes!  It was crazy cool!  He wasn't in there mixed with all the trash or upside down or anything, it was as if he were balanced on the bag itself - up high sitting right and proper!  It was such a blessing – not just to have Herby back, but it was a reminder that God is with us, He hears and He provides so much more than our needs – so he will certainly provide our needs!  What a gift J

·         The first couple of days with Eli, he didn’t act very nice towards Ayden.  All I can figure is that he was possibly not treated very kindly by the older boys he was around in his deaf school and he was on his guard.  This was a little hard for Ayden and obviously not good for bonding.  However, one evening as we were chatting in bed, Ayden said someone had come up to him that day (on one of those hard days) and asked if Eli was his little brother and Ayden answered yes.  Ayden told me with excitement, “it felt so good to be able to say yes!”  I was so grateful that even during the rough times he still thought that.   Thankfully, after about 3 days I guess Eli realized Ayden was “safe” and you could see a big change and  connection forming there.  Now he copies Ayden and has the, “little brother is amazed by big brother” thing going on!

·         I tried to sign to Eli that we would be going on a plane – I even got out a toy plane and a picture of a plane to try to show him but he did not want to listen.  For some reason, I guess because he has gotten by for 7 years without signing, he isn’t always quick to want to sign (although thankfully that seems to be lessening every day).  So I said ok and stopped trying, figuring he we figure it out soon enough.  So we sit down in the airport and he looks out the window and sees a huge plane only yards away and he about jumps out of his sit, begins hitting me on the leg and is filled with excitement!  It was cute!  He had a blast on the plane and especially loved that they brought him food and drinks!

·         Then it was time for our train ride home – our 20 hour train ride home!   Although I must say it wasn’t quite as “relaxing” as the 20 hour train ride there, Eli really did do quite well!  What impressed me the most was the way he shared my Kindle with a little 3 year old boy who sat near us.  Eli has an unhealthy love for all things electronic.  If you pull one out – phone, iPod, Kindle, iPad whatever – he will either crawl into your lap or very near (depending on how well he knows you) then he showers you with smiles and kisses (again depending on how well he knows you) as the excitement of possibly using it comes over him.  Realizing this, we have chosen to use them VERY little to help him gain a healthier perspective.   So after he had played it for about 15 minutes, I told him we were going to share it with the other little boy.  He said no but I said yes and I called the little boy over and let him take a turn.  After he played for a bit, I tried to communicate that Eli could join the little boy and they could play together.  It was so neat to watch just how gentle Eli was with him.  I saw a hint of this as I watched him in his orphanage with the much younger children.  He seems to have a heart for them and something beautiful comes over him when he is around little ones!

·         You could tell Eli understood as we got in a taxi – we were on our way home!  He was very excited!  We showed him all around and acquainted him with all of his new goodies – then without skipping a beat he wanted to help me cook and he has been doing it ever since!  The last week here at home has consisted of recouping from all of our travels, establishing a new norm and helping Eli learn many, many things – while we ourselves are leaning as well.  It has not all been easy but it has been good! We find it a beautiful thing to know that God is making two very needed things happen simultaneously:  Eli is receiving a family as he needed  (as God intended all children to have), and we are receiving the opportunity to be formed more into Christ’s likeness as we were needing; and both of them are happening to the glory of God – which is what it is all about! 

Love and blessings to you all and thank you so much for your prayers~  Tiffany

This is it! by Tiffany

This is the letter we have been waiting to write!   We received notification that we have been granted final travel approval by China to go and get Eli!  It is official!  We will be picking him up on April 21^st! 

So, so much waiting and now it is here and just right around the corner!  It is hard to wrap our minds around it honestly.  As a family we have prayed and watched God work through others and learned and worked and saved and read and practiced sign language and readied his room and so on, but when are you “ready” for such a huge change that takes place practically overnight? 

As I grow older, it seems like every day I grow more and more aware of my shortcomings – my inadequacies in and of myself.  And yet each day I feel like I also learn more and more about His grace and sufficiency for me - His mercy and overwhelming love just because He is good.  I know we will face many things on this journey, but I know that God’s faithful promise to always walk with us will hold true and He will be enough. 

We will take it one day at a time - loving Eli, learning with him and following God’s lead.  He brought us to this journey and I believe wholeheartedly that He will continue to lead and provide. 

Thank you all for your loving prayers.  They are both humbling and encouraging and God is faithfully answering.  Please add praying specifically for little Eli about his upcoming change.  Although this change will be a blessing for him, it will also cause yet another loss in his life for him to have to work through.   And in his short 7 years, he has already lost so much.   First major loss was when he was left in a train station at two and a half years old.   At that time, he was sent to a foster family where he stayed for a few months but then he was made to transfer to a foster care center.  I am not certain why, possibly because of the needs that being deaf presents, but at 5 (almost 6) he was required to move yet again to his current foster care center.  This center has become his “home” and the nannies there and the other children have become his family – they are what he knows and he will miss them.  

Thankfully we have a God who is a healer, because Eli’s little heart will need much mending. 

Psalm 147:3  He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

Psalm 30:2  O LORD my God, I called to you for help and you healed me.

Praise God that He is able to do more than all we ask or imagine!

Blessings to you all~

Love, Tiffany
