So here goes my effort in staying in touch with family and friends about our family and things that are important to me. If you came from face book I am glad you found me. I decided to get off of fb after watching the documentary called, The Social Dilemma. It was about understanding the power of social media including but not only face book. We watched it as a family and after lots of good discussion I decided to come off of fb. I don't use any other social media but Whatsapp and that I mostly communicate with friends and families of our children in Ghana . I will admit it is not easy to drop fb when I looked forward to connecting with so many friends and family . I just feel it is better for me to concentrate on our family and sharing about our life thru my blog. I am downloading the 16,000 pics I have to my laptop and computer so I can share thru pics about our life. </p><p>So welcome back to my crazy but wonderful life as the momma to 38 children. </p>mommajeanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04428016310143277014noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714728755765234677.post-50468716497627997872018-03-05T21:14:00.001-05:002018-03-05T21:14:06.920-05:00Life here thru photos in January<img alt="" id="id_c705_8f4c_cb32_2fcf" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/--ioIvU63V8w/WoLvTgY-HGI/AAAAAAACr0U/CYlOKuFJ6cUh_-R1Mz8Tt4rlG5wJgXU4wCHMYCw/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" style="height: auto; width: 392px;" title="" tooltip="" /><br />

I have to be honest when Paul first talked with me about the boys playing soccer this spring I was not overly enthused. We have done the sports scene before and it is just not the most positive or encouraging environment for my choice of spending my time. This was a great season though for the boys....they are actually very good at soccer and I have seen the evolution of a positive self esteem in all 3 of my boys and I loved watching that. The chatter after the games was wonderful to hear....the laughter and the encouraging time they had playing " futbol" which is the sport of choice from their home country of Ghana was really special to me. Maybe they have struggled some before in their lives, maybe they were teased and bullied because they were so poor , maybe they were never the top kids but always felt like the bottom but not this season of soccer....All 3 were stars on their team. People recognized their skill and ability and they loved playing . I am so proud of their efforts on their team and how well they handled the attention...because not only is having the ability important to me but so is the character that is being built on a team. Watching them not be ball hogs but actually wanting others to score the goal - passing the ball at times and caring about their fellow players was awesome to watch....So yes, I am glad they can shine on the field and they did. I am so proud of them for much more. I even may have shed a tear watching them play soccer this spring at times . </div>

Then there is Sadie on the L and we had to say good bye to our beloved Emma this spring when we had to put her asleep as she suffered from cancer. We hate saying good bye to our four legged family. I am sure hoping there are dogs in heaven.<br />
<br />
Our Roanoke family ( Jenn and Jeremiah ) also added to the bunch with their Irish Setter puppy named Red. So as you can see we've added a lot of 4 legged members to our family and lots of loyal , funny, crazy, loving members too.mommajeanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04428016310143277014noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714728755765234677.post-46510352474789375172017-03-03T10:43:00.000-05:002017-03-03T10:43:44.943-05:00Celebrating our Gracie Jane - The Best Gift and Our Support for all Police<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Ok, so we are somewhat crazy with our support of the police... but we are very proud of our son and grateful for the service to our communities that all police provide. We were blessed today by two of our police friends , State Troopers, Matt and Josh for sharing about their job with our family and making Gracie's birthday even more special.</div>

I've wanted to write this post for awhile...actually yrs.. Today marks a significant anniversary for me but first I need to write what has been on my heart for years as well.<br />
<br />
This past week I have shared 3 articles about significant medical needy children who found a family to love and cherish them...to see value in who these children were when no one else would .<br />
<br />
Paul and I have been on our adoption journey for over 31 yrs now. Abraham was our first adopted child who was raised with our 5 bio. children. He suffered some brain damage from a beating he endured when he was 2. He is also blind . I was just 29 yrs old when we brought him home from Mexico....<br />
<br />
Life for our family changed dramatically and has continued to since our first adoption ....I have advocated and tried to encourage others to adopt thru all of these years. My heart has always been moved for the child who would be more of a challenge to place or maybe even the ones that no one wanted. We have stepped into many of our adoptions filled with the excitement of welcoming another child or even once 5 children but also I can remember waking up in the middle of the nite wondering " What were we doing ?" We have always sought the Lord's will about adopting. I began to journal ( now for 31 yrs.) when we started our adoption of Abraham. I have my journals to return to that have my notes, my heart , feelings and many scripture that encouraged us along the way...because even following the Lord's will can be difficult. I have no regrets though and many more memories and times of watching children, my children overcome, struggle thru and find who they were in God's eyes.<br />
<br />
There has always been one thing I just don't get though - Why don't more people, Christians in particular choose to adopt ? I have shared many children with many people hoping to find families for that child or children . I have heard it all in their excuses but none have ever said, " God did not call me to adopt."<br />
<br />
They say things like, " I am to old , we don't have room, we don't make enough, I have cancer, or even my life is too busy, I have too many children already." <br />
<br />
Let me tell you about a woman I know very personally. She is 60 ( old : ) , She lived in a regular size home until all of the additions to make her home over 5000 sq feet. Her husband makes a regular salary and works hard at it. Her life is busy crazy teaching her children at home, managing all the special needs appts and life with so many, She has 36 children too....I am that woman . <br />
<br />
Every time I have spoken with someone about a child...I cringe when the excuses start to come out. Because no one is too old, or lives in a home too small, or makes too little of money or is any busier or has more children than the Lord can not work with. He does not call us to a perfect age, or big enough home or large enough salary or simple enough life or a certain number of children to do His will. He asks us to be obedient to what He calls us to. I know He has called many and they have chosen something else...maybe comfort, peace, wealth, or control of their own time. How sad because these children have no choice but to except this hell they live in.<br />
<br />
Yes, raising children is hard and certainly not easy when they have come from such horrific backgrounds, but God will never leave you. If we do what He says He will make our life count for something. If we do what He says, He will never leave us. We will not always be comfortable walking this walk ...We may face difficulties and challenges or dangers in our life following Him ; But God will never abandon us. .<br />
<br />
So today we celebrated my 5 yrs of being cancer free....I am somewhat of a private person when it comes to my self. Actually when I first got the diagnosis I was most upset that I would have to stop doing what actually gives me the very breath of life - helping a child...especially a special needs child. God had other plans and I love that I have been able to overcome this obstacle and move on to health and many more opportunities to love a child as my own. We never are promised even the very next moments so use each one wisely . Live in such a way that people see it ! Thank you to those who knew and prayed and for my family who love and celebrate this day with me.<br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: small; line-height: normal;">This little one - actually a teenager needs a family to love her. There are plenty of children in every part of the world who need a family. I struggle with this Bible verse at times and feel like I don't do enough to help children...what about you ? James 4: 17 If anyone , then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn't do it, it is a sin for them</span></div>

From a friend's daughter who was living like this girl - even with having 36 children I am praying , even if you can't adopt maybe you can help fund, at the very least you can pray.</div>

This quote is from Lucia <a class="profileLink" data-hovercard-prefer-more-content-show="1" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/user.php?id=706670037" href="https://www.facebook.com/tina.kacirek" style="color: #365899; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;">Kacirek</a>'s blog. Lucia spent almost 10 years in a laying down room in a Ukrainian institution.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
"Then when I went to the institution, the<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">y left me in the bed. They gave me sleep medicine. Everyday I tried to move some how but many times if they saw me they gave me medicine right away. Slowly I felt something changing in my body. I asked for help. They said there was no help. I asked how long I would be there and their response was - until I died.</span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
I just kept thinking I want to do something. I want to get up. I could see some children receiving help but they made excuses why I could not go. My mom and I figured if I went into the institution in 2004 and I was adopted in April of 2013, then I spent 3,285 days becoming twisted inside myself. Not just my body, but my thinking too. The caregivers had told me no one would love me. It takes some time to become straight again."</div>

Now meet little A. She will be 14 years old this year. She is just skin and bone. Her current destiny is to live and die in a laying down room.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Is she also being told no one would love her? Is she being drugged into silence and stillness?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
According to a government website in her country she is available for International Adoption.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Will you share her photo and help find her a family? <span class="_47e3 _5mfr" style="line-height: 0; margin: 0px 1px; vertical-align: middle;" title="heart emoticon"><img alt="" aria-hidden="1" class="img" height="16" src="https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v6/f6c/1/16/2764.png" style="border: 0px; vertical-align: -3px;" width="16" /><span aria-hidden="1" class="_7oe" style="display: inline-block; font-size: 0px; width: 0px;"><3</span></span></div>

"The call came from a DHS supervisor at midnight: “We have a 3-year old girl at the hospital. Her mom was shot and is not expected to live through the night. He<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">r dad has been arrested. Domestic violence. All clothing was taken by police as evidence so if you could bring a blanket that would be great. Can you come pick her up?” 'Yes.'</span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
"The call came from a CPS worker while I was making dinner: “I just came on the scene to find a 4-year old boy sitting in the back of a police car. His clothing is soaked with urine from his mentally unstable mother; he may have lice, and he is filthy. Can we bring him to your house?” 'Yes.'</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
"The call came from another county as we were getting ready for bed. “We have a 2-year old who is sound asleep at the DHS office now. She was brought to the ER with an injury. Her mom was so high on drugs she could hardly function. This little girl is adorable. We just need someone who can take her for the night. Could you?” 'Yes.'</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
"The call came from the placement desk while I was in the middle of a run. “We have a tiny 10-day old baby boy. Things aren’t working out with his current foster home, and we need to move him. Do you have an infant car seat?” 'Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.'</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
"My husband and I are biological parents to two young kids, as well as foster parents to a revolving crew of kids under the age of five. A friend, who also fosters, once told me that calls from DHS are like a Create-Your-Own-Adventure Game. Each “yes” takes your family on a wild new adventure you never expected. I always wonder what adventure we are missing out on with the calls we can’t take.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
We say yes because these broken babies need a safe place to land. They need a mommy to wrap them in blankets and tuck them in at night. They need a daddy to hoist them up on his shoulders and gallop them around the backyard. They need clothing that fits and food that nourishes. They need to be tickled and trained and taken to the zoo. They need boundaries. They need love.<br />
I have been surprised to find how much we need these little people, too. They are sweet and feisty and stubborn and funny. They keep us on our toes and teach us lessons we need to learn.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
People tell me all the time, 'I don’t know how you do it! I could never become a foster parent. It would be too hard to say good-bye to the kids once I’ve gotten attached.' And I get it, I do. I used to say the exact same thing. But now, I wonder what in the world I was thinking. Was I serious? It would be too hard for... me?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Make no mistake. It is hard. There are plenty of days when I feel like I just don’t have it in me to do this. My ideas and energy and patience fall flat. There are endless meetings and appointments and phone calls. There are false accusations and frustrating decisions. Foster parenting can be tough.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
And yet these kids are forced to do hard things every single day, through no fault or choice of their own. They are abused and neglected and forced to fend for themselves. They are separated from siblings and shuffled from place to place. Kids in the foster care system have endured more hurt in their short lives than most of us will pause to think about, let alone experience, in our own.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
The next phone call will come. And my husband and I will say yes. Not because we are some amazing poster family for foster care. We will say yes because these kids are forced to do hard things. The least we can do is look into their broken eyes and say, 'Yes. I will do hard things with you. I will hold your hand and kiss your head and calm your tantrums. By God’s grace, we will figure this out together.'</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
When it is time to say good-bye, I will wash their clothes and pack their stuffed animals. I will ache and cry and wish it could be different. But I will never regret saying yes."<br />

I went inside and asked them all to come outside and that I was wondering who ripped up our blow up snowmen out front....they all came out ...someone stating they had put a rock on one ...we just smiled. Then they kept trying to figure out if the snowmen were indeed ripped and Cate came around and Mary Kate said, " Could it have been a puppy?" The kids faces and reactions were priceless....</div>

Celebrating the Fall season with my kiddos and my grands....We went to Old McDonald's Farm Friday afternoon. One of the best perks from being a mega size family is we have enough to get the group rate and we had the whole place to ourselves. We had a blast ! Didn't have to worry about other children or waiting in line....The McDonalds were great and we enjoyed our beautiful day at the farm.mommajeanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04428016310143277014noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714728755765234677.post-78542535124804191682016-10-02T17:27:00.001-04:002016-10-02T17:27:07.996-04:00Happy Times in the Outer Banks once again.....

This fall when we begin our school year , we will be starting our 30th year of formal schooling. We value reading the most as far as the academics go. I happen to love reading and encourage our children to read, read, and read. It makes my soul happy to watch as they discover the joy of books. When they run up to me excited to share what they are reading i love it. One of the ways we have tried to encourage reading is thru a summer reading program. Sometimes we have done this thru our local library. Other times I do my own program. With this many children I find it easier for me to do this rather than use programs available at the library ( which are excellent ). Just the logistics of managing the programs protocol and record keeping sometimes don't work for our children. So this week we started our program....these are pics of some of the kids who took right to it the night I introduced it. We even have a place for Jubal for his reading.<br />
<br />
My program is pretty simple . I bought bags, a recording booklet, a special pen and a piggy bank from the Dollar Store for each one. My older ones will earn 25 cents for 5 books read that someone older checks off in their record books and a sticker is placed on a chart. When they reach 50 books they will get an extra reward of 10 dollars for the summer with the 25 cents/per 5 books they've earned. I have a collection of extra activities like new puzzles for diff. ages, Dory coloring books with 3D , paper airplanes, cards, new memory games and other things to do on the quiet parts of our days in the summer . This is to encourage quiet times . We do a lot of outside times in summer with the most time swimming but we always have a need for some down time. Usually at our home it is nap or quiet time from 1 to 3 daily. The older ones can read during this time.<br />
<br />
We have also done some books read aloud or listening to cds of great people in history and the christian faith. Developing listening skills are important for our kids who sometimes struggle with this . Encouraging times where they have to pay attention to a reader who is reading out loud or following the directions of a music cd helps with this skill.<br />
<br />
I love summer because we don't feel the pressure to have to do all the academics and we can relax and share in one of my joys way more than during the school year. Reading is so important for the children who want to go on to college but also in life as an adult can be enriched with good reading skills. All of my kids at home are now ESL ( English as a second language ). Reading helps them to develope their vocabulary and proper use of the verbs , pronouns and other parts of speech. My first desire though is for them to love to read because I have seen if they enjoy it they will read. We check out easily 120 to 150 books every 3 weeks for the children. They all love going but I have to restrict the amount of kids I send so they rotate. We have many books and book shelves of ones we own too.<br />

<br />
Paul and I had 3 girls and I was pregnant with our 4th child the year before I traveled to Mexico. I lost the baby and we were devastated by the death of our baby. However, months later I heard of a mission trip to Mexico that our church at the time supported. If I had been pregnant I would not have traveled to Mexico . Even though I was terribly sad about losing our baby I can now see how God moved in that situation to allow me to travel and adopt Abraham. I could not see or say this during that time of my life. I had to choose to move forward from my grief and loss to the next journey the Lord gave to us...which was our adoption of Abraham.<br />
<br />
I traveled with the team in October of 1985. It was during a preparation meeting that I learned of a little boy who was blind. He had suffered a beating months before. Paul and I prayed about adopting him and began the process to adopt. We got our home study done in an amazing timeframe and for just 500 dollars. We were originally going to continue with his adoption until we learned of 2 more times where his life was in harms way...So we prayed and God told us to travel in December of 1985 to bring our son home. We decided to bring him home on a medical visas. We had no idea how God was going to bring Abraham home but we had no doubts He would.<br />
<br />
We left the Friday after Thanksgiving and it was amazing how God made it all come together. He provided a wealthy , Mexican couple who had helped the orphanage before. They were moved to help us to get our son home . The De Lemora Pena's traveled with us to obtain a passport and a miracle happened - we got it when we should not have . Then we went to the US embassy and were able to obtain his visas to travel to the US. There were too many mountains to climb over and too many obstacles that got in the way but we saw the Lord work thru each and everyone that I never had any doubt we would be bringing my son home. Our trip took just 10 days including our 2 days of travel. We arrived home with Abraham on December 10.<br />
<br />
Our anniversary is on Dec. 19. My dad came up to watch the kids while Paul and I went out to dinner. Abraham had been listening to Christmas music the 9 days he had been home and he was singing all the carols in perfect English...this was our first sign that Abraham had an amazing talent and gift for music. We had given him his birthdate so he was just under 3 yrs of age.<br />
<br />
Abraham has perfect pitch. He can play any instrument and long pieces of music, and any song he hears once. He has a gentle spirit and a quiet faith. God brought his girl friend, DeeAnna into his life 9 yrs ago at our church. He adores her and their love is shared by a love for the Lord. They have a simple but fulfilling relationship even thru the struggles each one has. Abraham suffered a frontal lobe injury during his beating in the orphanage. This causes him to not be able to recall things at times. He forgets even that he is hungry...so he is not able to live independently. The music part of his brain was not affected . He plays for events in our area like weddings, church gatherings, nursing homes community events. Once when he answered in his journal , "If you can have anything at all what would it be ? " We thought he'd write about getting his eye sight back. Not at all . He wanted a baby grand piano. That tells you a lot about his soul...which is music and his faith.<br />
<br />
We recently went to a retirement party for his music teacher in early elem. school ( before we home schooled him ). I heard 2 stories about him that made me so very proud. One was told to us by another teacher. A storm was coming up and the kids were all huddled in a room. They lost their electricity and it was dark. Kids were screaming and crying and Abraham who lives in the dark because he is blind got them all to pray and things calmed down. His music teacher , Mrs. Hall shared at the end about diff. things during her career with children. She said she prays for the children but only once did she have a student who left her room every day and told her he was praying for her...she was talking about Abraham. When they had Halloween parties he dressed as the " Holy Ghost " ( a sheet with holes cut out of it ). When asked what he was he got to share his faith. This was in early elementary school.<br />
<br />
God has always had his hand on our son, Abraham. I am so glad that He chose us to be his forever momma and daddy. Now he is the oldest son with 35 siblings. We never thought we would be in this journey of life but what an awesome God we serve.mommajeanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04428016310143277014noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714728755765234677.post-50826750823536805342016-05-11T18:31:00.000-04:002016-05-11T18:31:09.467-04:00 It's Been A Year Today Since He Was Placed in My Arms Forever<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Well today we celebrate exactly a year that Jubal was placed into my arms. Joseph and I had traveled to Ghana to bring him home and many miracles had to happen first. We had his documents but not his passport. We were able to get his passport, have and pass his exit interview and travel home after being in Ghana just 2 weeks. God moved in ways that only He can to help us get Jubal home and look at him now.<br />
<br />
He was just a mere 9lbs, hands tightly clasped, not making eye contact with us and showing very little emotions. After just 2 days we had him laughing . He had severe reflux and vomited all the time. Good thing all of my bio. kids did to because I was well equipped to deal with this issue and he quickly over came his reflux issues and gained weight. He now is pushing 25 lbs and eats every thing we do. He has surpassed all of his developmental markers and probably the most amazing is his language development. He remembers and sings complete songs that he hears. He repeats everything and speaks in full sentences. He is deeply bonded to all of us . He can name each member of the family and all of the Johnsons who are 11 more names. He is one of the littles and plays along with them. He can even count to 10. Some people might wonder about our mega, large family but honestly for children like Jubal it is the best stimulation mixed with love that happens here . This many around him to help, encourage and support him thru his life.<br />
<br />
Jubal you bring so much joy to our family ! Can't wait for your next year.mommajeanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04428016310143277014noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714728755765234677.post-62747426334127286682016-04-28T16:38:00.001-04:002016-04-28T18:39:14.967-04:002 Things that have helped me work thru griefJust sharing 2 things that have helped me get thru the death of Jabin. I thought it might help others going thru the same.<br />
<br />
<br />
One is this song by Danny Gokey. I love all the words and what they mean to me . He lost his first wife to a heart issue and I believe was discovered on American Idol . Sometimes in the past year I have had to tell my heart to beat again as we worked thru the grief of loosing Jabin.<br />

This was the last time I held my precious Jabin ( March 2015 ) . Today we celebrated our dear son, brother's short but valued life....with a bubble party out back by our Jabin Garden. We had a cake too and remembered his sweetness thru our pictures and those of us who had memories with him. Thank you Jesus for the life you gave and the hope we have. We love you Jabin .<br />
<br />
We are so happy to be able to watch Jubal experience his life to the fullest - healthy, wanted, never alone and deeply loved.mommajeanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04428016310143277014noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714728755765234677.post-75237870155666605132016-03-29T16:10:00.000-04:002016-03-29T16:10:13.918-04:00Easter Joy ....as we celebrated the risen King !<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We started our Easter celebration with a visit with our special friends - The Livermores - the top pics are taken at their new home in VA. We had a sweet visit , lunch and Abraham played the piano for several of the residents at the Marque where they live. We met some new friends and had a very warm time with Dick and Helen.</div>

We had lots of food, fun and fellowship thru the weekend - inspite of the chilly weather our egg hunt was a hit. The kids have been playing " knock out"...Easter even Mary Kate and I played : ) We take family pictures and I love seeing the smiles and joy and laughter shared by all. </div>

We had a special breakfast in the am ( complete with donuts ) and we stayed home and had our own church. We have been listening to Steven Furtick online for our sermons. We actually stream it thru our big tv... and I have to say the kids have understood and really " gotten " it when he has shared. He is the pastor of Elevation Church in NC if anyone is interested. Then Ben and Angie came up for the day and participated in our Valentines Surprise the guys had done for the girls. They had set the tables special , placed their notes , gave each one of us a rose, and we even danced....It was a special time and all of us girls felt loved and special. Thank you Paul and all my boys for this memory and time.mommajeanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04428016310143277014noreply@blogger.com0
