Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your children from the east and gather you from the west.

Dear Steph, I will be praying for you both as you leave the cute little guys, and that they will be in your arms again sooner than you expect. Love, Cathy
Praying God's peace fills both you and your husband today. May the time between when you leave your sweet boys and when you bring them home for good be very, very short. Kerri Stetler
Praying for you guys as you head home. I can not imagine what you must be going through. But we will pray that they can come home sooner than to be expected. Glad you were able to create some special memories with them.
I just read through the account of your week in Haiti and it brought back so many memories for me. We had similar experiences - even sounds like the same hotel- but we didn't have to leave our boys behind. May God speed the process so that you may all be together soon.
This blog was created to chronicle our family's journey to adopt our fourth child, a little boy from Haiti. Long before knowing him, we chose his name: Ian, meaning "God is gracious." Along the way our journey grew to include not only one, but two little boys from Haiti!
Ian and Alec finally arrived home on January 19, 2010.

In Missouri and praying real hard

Oh Steph. I've been gone a few days and just got all caught up.
Your boys are just beautiful and I have big tears welling up knowing you have to be apart for awhile yet.
((((((hug))))) for all of you....I will be praying for that miracle!
