Well to start off with, I am not good with this sort of thing so Please forgive me!
Almost a year ago, I got a phone call from Make A Wish. Seems a Doctor had put Zoe's name in for a wish! I was Happy and Sad at the same time. I was just full of emotion!
A little background info:
Our Cast:
Kris-Is Grumpy for SURE! He is not into the whole Disney thing but is super excited for the Wish Cruise!
Zoe- Wish child 9- Has Biliary Atresia, a liver condition but is doing wonderful currently (Praise God!) But we know at any moment it could change.
Abby- My 6 year old who I will just say is, umm, Unique.... No outgoing..... Hmm no words seem to suit her well.
Olivia- the baby. Well she is 3 but will forever be the baby.
Me- Disney loving, hard core sewing, fun loving Momma to the best kids ever!
We live in Northern Maryland. My husband and I have been married for just over 8 years now. He is not Zoe's Bio Father (More on that later) however she does call him Daddy and she is the only Father she knows.
OKay now back to the Wish!
So the Doctor returned the paper work the same day it was sent to them (According to MAW that is rare) and Our Wish Granters came out for a visit!
Zoe made her first wish, A disney Cruise. She also had to make a back up wish which was to visit Hawaii. Her first wish was Granted! She was ALL SMILES the day we found out her wish was going to be granted!
We were told at first that we woulw not need passports however that changed quickly. We had many bumps in the road to get Zoes! First of all, Her bio fathers name is on her Birth cert. so when I went to get the passports I found out I needed a court order stating I had full custody. Not an Issue, right?? WRONG! I found the paper work, went back to the passport office, it was not signed by a Judge. So, I was told I had to get something signed by her Father saying I can take her out of the country. Kinda hard when I dont know where he is! lol, So in the end, We got the passport just MANY MANY months later!
So now we are playing the waiting game! The wish has been approved, we have our passports in hand and we are waiting a date for our Disney Cruise! We are so excited and Zoe is just beside herself that Make a Wish is going out of their way to Grant her wish! Here is a picture of Zoe with her Wish Granters:
and a few pictures of the kids from our last Disney World Trip in Dec of 08
Me and my Girls <3 (I promise I am not 16 like the picture makes me look!)
Anyway, More to come in a few on Zoes struggle with BA and her story!
