I just spent the day off and on reading through this entire thread. Since I was not yet a member back in 05 when this originally started. I was sad that I didn't get to see most of the pictures, only the last two posted. But thanks to Phred (of course!! ) I was able to read the progress (and setbacks) of Samantha and her family.
It really is amazing to me that Jessica is a match. She was definitely placed in the right family, that's for sure!
I will keep Jessica and Samantha in my thoughts for the big day Tuesday.

That is so amazing that Jessica is a donor match for Sam. Wow... That is a huge fear as an adoptive parent. The "what ifs" in that kind of medical situation. Prayers for all of them...

Very very best wishes for a successful procedure tomorrow.
They will be in my thoughts all day.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but family doesn't have a greater probability of being a donor match than someone from the general public. I guess that family is tested first because donating one or part of your organs is a life changing commitment.

My prayers are with them.

Many thoughts and prayers for Sam and Jessica is as they face this next hurdle tomorrow.

Yes, family often more likely a match, but Sam was adopted from China. What a blessing that her adoptive mother is a match.

Read Sam's story - she is the adopted daughter of Jessica. Its an amazing thing that Jessica is the match.

If anyone follows the post on the Care Pages...I just wanted to let you know the surgery was delayed, and did not start at 745 am. As of 9 am, it hadn't yet begun. But, since my mom hasn't called with an update yet, I am presuming the surgery is underway by now.

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers.
