On Sunday, February 21st, Raina was dedicated at our church. For the occasion, Laura put her in the world's most adorable dress. She was an instant hit... and the pictures speak for themselves. On an obviously more important note, it was an incredible blessing to be able to stand in front of the congregation and recognize Raina as an official part of our family. She is truly the most precious gift from God and it was a privilege to make the commitment publicly to raise her in a manner that will please Him, with the prayerful hope that one day she will understand Jesus' love for her. We praise Him daily for her life.

How beautiful! And what a happy day for all of you. I love seeing pictures of her with the boys, a mutual admiration society:)

Wish we could have been there...ya'll were at the trio's dedication...we are praying for this precious girl and her beautiful family!
I googled "Welcome to Holland" to cut and paste on my blog and came up with your blog, it mus be fate because our son, Benjamin was also born with VACTERL (including one kidney and anal atresia and oh, so much more) and our favorite adult with VACTERl named Raina. It sounds liek you are new to the world of dealing with VACTERL, so if you are looking for resources/support, please feel free to email me. There is a whole community of adults with VACTERL and parents of children with VACTERL on a yahoo group and several other resurces through the Pull Through Network. In the meantime, enjoy that beautiful little doll who has joined your family!
