| you have a new name..... Naomi Rose __?__Evans |
Naomi is 3 years old and has albinism. That is why she is missing the "typical" dark hair, skin and eyes and instead has been given pearly white . We are just really learning about this genetic disorder ( blessing in our case ) . She captured out hearts literally the moment that we laid our eyes on her. Honestly, my heart stopped. I don't know how you could ever capture the voice of God and put it into words but without trying and simply putting it... the moment that I saw her.... she was mine. God said so. I've never needed to know about albinism (obviously we are learning so that we can give her the moon and back that she might need) , I never stopped to question that she is 3, I don't need to know what her correct vision is and the other things that come packaged with this box o treasure.... she's just mine... born in this mama 's heart the moment that I saw her. Our love for her allows us to wait until we gather money, paperwork, plane tickets and political approval.
Naomi Rose,
Our deepest love to you tiny angel .... you are no longer abandoned but found. No longer alone but part of a family. You have been given a daddy, mama and brothers and sisters. You have amazing grandparents who can't wait to spoil you rotten. You have a home instead of an orphanage..... you have the heart of a father placed inside of you and we can't wait to watch it all unfold... to watch you blossom into who you were intended to be... may you rest well tonight, have plenty to eat and be warm. Hang on.... we're coming for you honey.
love you to the moon and back,
Daddy and mama.

Beautiful! And I love her name. So blessed to get to follow this journey :). I will be in touch soon - still out of town.
Congratulations, Evanses!!! Can't wait to hear more about her.
And, FYI-- my mom is a teacher of the visually impaired in Atlanta-- she has several kids w albinism in her family-- PLEASE let me know if you'd like to connect with her with questions/ideas you might have. She's a great resource, a believer, and I know she'd be happy to help :-)
Ooop-- that was supposed to be 'several kids with albinism in her PROGRAM.' But still, she's a resource!
Beautiful baby girl:) So, blessed that she has a God made family for her.
