This is a blog that started as a way to document our journey to China to adopt our 5 children from China, 1 from America. It is now my musings about the world they live in.

The Elana Whisperer
We all have read or watched or know about the book/movie The Horse Whisperer. I think I possess those powers with children. Specifically, Elana. She is with Angie and her sisters all day, while I am at work. When I get home, she seeks me out. If she starts crying or screaming, I am the only one who seems to calm her down. Usually, it is with a touch of her hand. Last night, she woke up screaming. I got out of bed and went to her. As soon as she knew I was there, she went right back to sleep. On other nights, she may not sense me. But, as soon as I pick her up, she is content. I don't know if these skills can be taught or even passed on. As they said in Spiderman, With great power comes great responsibility. Sorry if I got that wrong, but I would say that is a paraphrase of what was said.
