     Rebecca Faith Coleman, who is now 14, continues her story. She was born without arms and legs.

 Hello from Oshkosh, Wisconsin!

This is your friend, Rebecca Faith Coleman, writing.  Sorry it's been so long, but you know how it is when you're a teenager: school, friends, church activities, and whatnot take up most of my time, so what free time I Do have is very precious to me.

Add to that, two older siblings (a brother and a sister), plus two younger (both sisters).  They are always wanting to do things with me.  Don't blame 'em; I'm rather fun to be with! :)

And if that were not enough, Mom and Dad have decided to adopt again!  They are adding a little boy (aged 2) from Bulgaria; right now his name is Gheorj, but they plan on calling him Wyatt Patrick (W.P.).  They've already started the paperwork, had their medical checkups, and have already had two home studies.  It will probably be sometime next year until we have Wyatt here with us ... but that is only if the adoption is approved.

Excited? You bet!! I know William is because right now the girls outnumber the boys.  He wants another brother to pal around with, but it looks like he will have to wait a few years until Wyatt is bigger and older.

We just had our 'Harvest Festival' at our church; it was scads of fun.  Lots of people came, and lots of candy and other treats were passed out to the kids and teens.  I dressed up as an angel.  The entire family dressed up: Mom was Super Woman (how appropriate, 'cause she IS!); Daddy was a cop, William was a ninja warrior, Meghan was a gypsy princess, Harmony Joy was a regular princess, and Anjelicka was a ladybug.

Now it is November; and it is time to think about what I want to get my familiy for Christmas.  I also have time to think about Thanksgiving and what I am thankful for.  I have one thing at the top of my list: FAMILY.  'Cause if it were not for the Colemans, I wouldn't even HAVE a family, or a LIFE!

Well, I hate to run, but my friend Ryann just called; she wants me to see if I can go to the movies with her.  There's a movie we both want to see: "Free Birds".  It is about turkeys; it looks cute.  Hopefully Mom or Daddy will say yes.  I will write in here again soon; 'til later, this is Rebecca Coleman saying God bless and so long!

~Love, your friend, Rebecca Faith.  :D
