These pictures make me smile. I love that yet again, someone was loving on my boys. So far most of the pictures I've received are of Ian. He obviously soaked up all the one-on-one attention he received! He looks so happy, and that makes Mommy happy. :)
how precious. . . they are all so sweet, but the last one melted my heart. How blessed you are to continue receiving photos. Ours are VERY few and far between. Every adoption is different, isn't it?
I love these photos! I do find it comforting all of the love you see these kids getting. They certainly aren't being ignored. It's not the same as being home with their families who are waiting, but they are being loved on.
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.
