Our Ukrainian Additions
These are our new sons! Click their picture to read the story of how God worked miracles to lead us to them while in Ukraine Dec. '11.
Sons of our Heart
These were our Summer '11 host boys who we planned to adopt. God brought us to Ukraine Dec. 2011 to adopt them, but turned the events to lead us to adopt 2 six-year-old boys with Down syndrome! Our host boys now live with their bio aunt, but they'll always be sons in our hearts.

About Lorraine
- Lorraine, AKA Forever Blessed
- Texas, United States
- Hi, I'm Lorraine. I'm just one member of Team Boss Your Heart, but I happen to be the one who keeps up with this little blog God started in December 2009. I'm mom to 13 (3 bio, 10 adopted, 1 in heaven), so I don't devote as much time to updating this blog much anymore--sorry! This is my online diary/scrapbook of sorts, a way to record this journey of large family--special needs--blessed by adoption--ranch living--Jesus loving life. Explore this blog (and BossYourHeart.com) to get to know us, as well as the ministry and testimony God has given us. It's not your typical family testimony, but it's the one He's written for us, and we wouldn't have it any other way.

Oh Lorraine, my heart is breaking is for you and your whole family. I hope Chrissie is not in any pain. Her little body is going through so much.
Praying!
praying; crying and praying
YOU SAY I’M NOT ABLE
I’M TOO YOUNG OR I’M TOO OLD
I CAN’T SING OR TEACH
AND NO TITLE DO I HOLD
LORD WHAT CAN I DO
FOR I WANT TO DO MY PART
AND I WANT TO HELP THE HURTING
WITH ALL OF MY HEART
MY FAMILY SHOWS NO INTEREST
MY CHILD HAS GONE SO FAR
THOUGH I TRY MY BEST TO REACH THEM
THEIR HEARTS JUST SEEM SO HARD
LORD WHAT CAN I DO
TO HELP BRING THEM BACK TO YOU
MY FAMILY’S LOST AND DYING
AND MY WORDS DO NOT GET THROUGH
I CAN PRAY
UNTIL THE WALLS COME DOWN
TILL THERE’S HEALING ALL AROUND
THAT’S SOMETHING I CAN DO
I CAN PRAY IN MY SECRET PLACE
CALLING ON YOUR NAME
THAT’S SOMETHING I CAN DO
I CAN PRAY
I CAN PRAY
I KNOW YOU HEAR ME, LORD
I CAN PRAY
This song has been on my heart all day while I've been keeping up with Chrissie. I may not know your family, I may not know how God is going to heal your little girl...but, I (we) can pray. "the prayers of the righteous will heal the sick..."
Praying from Alabama
Lorarine & Matt, I have no words....only prayers for that sweet girl and your family! Danny and I have been thinking about your family and praying often!
Kellie & Danny Duckett
