problems but didn't know that he was deaf For a year he had been sedated and basically left alone he couldn't stand or walk The Russians couldn’t understand s why anyone would want a child but the Stott's felt strongly about Kody and still wanted to go through with the adoption After returning to Utah to Primary Children’s they took Kody Hospital for weekly consultations until his basic health was stabilized Kody is now recovering from surgery on his legs and is learning to walk with the help of braces and crutches He still needs cochlear implants but the family has been unable to raise enough money for the pensive operation and frustrating insurance restrictions hase limited badly needed benefits However the Stott's feel that Kody has a special spirit and he is given plenty of love and attention They have not lost hope that he will somehow have the surgery that might enable him to hear Stacy 's aunt JoAnn Turner was also interested in adopting A single morn she found it was difficult to adopt within the states With the help and influence of her friends family and Focus on children JoAnn traveled to Russia and brought all Marcia Coats home Brady The adoption process took only nine months JoAnn has fulfilled her dream of being a mother and Baby Brady has a home With tears in her eyes Sue Koyle Stacy’s mother remarked “I hase been to Russia three times now go over there
