What gorgeous boys! My parents are in Haiti this Christmas, their first Christmas away from the family. I'm sure the weather is great there though. Praying that they will soon be with you in the new year.
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.
