I love this picture.
Mom is feeding Alec, I am feeding Ian, Justin is feeding Sarah, Valdex is feeding Sophonise, and Lacey's got Gracie and Bella. Katyna is managing on her own, and if I'm not mistaken there may have been one or two other children eating on their own. Also, there are at least three babies not pictured (Charlene, Mario, and Maki) so you can just imagine how crazy mealtime can be in Lawanna's apartment!
Crazy, but beautiful. These children are blessed: they are bathed at least once (sometimes twice) a day; fed three home-cooked meals a day; their home is kept swept and clean; and they are surrounded by people who truly care for them and about them.
That is why I love this picture. That is why I am very thankful.

Stephanie,
I read your blog often and always find myself to be more serene once I do. We are adopting a little girl from gla. We have been in the process since Jan 2006 and had our referral in Sept 2008. We also went to haiti recently and loved the country and the people there. We put our process in god's hands and love every minute of it. I hope that your boys come home soon.

Stephanie,
I read your blog often and always find myself more serene after. We are adopting a little girl from GLA and have been in the process since Jan 2006. Our referral was Sept 2008. We put the process in god's hands and hope she will be home before her 16th birthday. I hope the boys will be home with you soon.
