Thank you so much for your comments! I love "meeting" all of you - and reconnecting with those I know already. :) I am posting new entries below this one but keeping this at the top of my blog for a bit longer in case anyone else stops by!
---------------------
I interrupt my journal postings to say that I was amazed to realize that since my return from Haiti this little blog has been receiving over 130 visits a day. I don't think this necessarily means 130 separate people visit each day, and it may not be much to a big-name blogger, but it is rather a lot for me! :)I would very much like to know who is stopping by, and I would especially love to know if you have an adoption story of your own. Please take a minute to say hi!
Sincerely,
Stephanie

I'll be the first to say HI. I am a singel mom to 2 beautiful girls born in Haiti. Even though my girls have been home for a while (5 years and 2 years) I still love reading about other people's adoption experiences. I will be praying that your boys are home soon.

Hi,
I'm a single mum from Amsterdam Holland. Waiting for my little haitian girl named Lynn to come home.
I have a blog but it's written in dutch. But I'll post the adress anyway shebra.web-log.nl.
I wish you all the best adopting your 2 little boys!

I love your blog! I am a single mother to a 6 year old boy and 5 year old girl adopted from Russia. For years I have looked into adopting from Haiti. The wait is crazy! I also feel a strong draw to Haiti and wonder if God is calling me there. We will see! WE pray for you daily!

Hi Steph,
Glad you are back so we can hear about your trip, but knowing that means you are away from some of your kids. Hope all are under one roof soon!
This is your sis in PA...I check once or twice a day, as you know! Praying my nephews home!
Hey Steph...I check in daily, too!
Hugs, Renee

Hola Stephanie, sigo atentamente los detalles de tu blog, me encanta saber como sigue esta hermosa historia y cada noticia que venga de los compañeros de mi hijita, de ese trío de los "bebés grandes de Lawanna".
Un abrazo

Hi Stephanie...
You know me too. :-) I have your site linked to my site and always check things out when I see you have been updating with new thoughts.

Hi Stephanie,
It's me your friend. I check your blog daily to see how things are going for you and your family. I know the emotions that you are feeling because I have adopted 2 children from Russia. An international adoption has alot of emotions because things are much different there then here. You are waiting on their government. Things can change at a minute notice.
I also read your blog so that I know how to pray for you guys. I also get on your blog just for encouragement.
Praying that those little boys come home soon.
Love ya,
Stacey
Hi! I try to check on your blog at least once a day. We aren't adopting, but I know Pedro from college.
Hi!
I have your blog in my google reader, so I don't know if my visits show up or not, but I've been following your journey for a while now. We have 5 children, one of which was adopted from Ukraine and another adopted from Serbia. We're now in the process of adopting 2 boys from Bulgaria...our dossier is on it's way across the ocean now!
Hi! I try to check your blog daily for news of your sweet boys coming home! I have never adopted but feel so drawn to it. My husband and I have 3 children and I am waiting to see if God is calling me to be a mother through adoption as well. I can't remember how I found your blog, think it was through other adoption blogs. Praying for your family to be united! ~Jenny
Hi. I'm a mom to a little girl we adopted (domestic) this past June, and I'm loving my new role as mom! I'm a regular reader of your blog, and look forward to hearing that your boys are home with you! Stay strong, and God bless.

I'm still here, too, Stephanie! My check-ups have been a bit half hazard lately though - busy busy. BUT we're heading to Haiti the beginning of November! As far as we know we're still sitting in Parquet, but we can't wait to go. Urbana saw a quick glimpse of one of the RHFH photos the other day and got so "mother hen" on me! It was adorable to say the least! She said "heyyyy. . . .mama, baby MY baby Seve". Apparently to her the little guy resembled her brother in Haiti! All will meet face to face in a few short weeks - can't wait is an understatement! glad you're reunited in Chile and forging ahead in Haiti!

Hi Stephanie!
I came across your blog when we began our research to adopt from Haiti. We are still searching our hearts as we do have bio children at home and that complicates matters for adoption. But our hearts feel so drawn. I have kept you guys in our prayers for many a month :) and will continue to do so. Thank you for sharing your journey!
Stephanie,
I "met" you through the Stepping Stones infertiliy forums.I've been following your story since then and I'm praying your boys come home real soon!

Hi! I check daily too, I love your blog and your sweet boys. I dont have an adoption story, I have 3 little girls. We are from England but Live in America now.
Hi Stephanie,
I am a long time reader of your blog. I'm a friend from your TX days. I am praying that your boys will be able to come home very soon!
Stephanie,
You know I check all of the time! Can't wait to meet you guys at the Santiago airport just to meet those 2 cuties that will join your family VERY soon, but most importantly, in God's perfect timing!
Love you!
Heather
Stephanie,
You know all about me (probably more that you want to know he he). I probably throw off your numbers because I sometimes check several times a day.
Love you all lots!

Hi Stephanie and family!
Missionary in Haiti for 15 years. Married with 2 bio children and 1 adopted son.
awwww lots of blog love. my name is Amanda and i follow your blog. i'm a new single mother waiting for my baby boy in Haiti :)
I have your site bookmarked and stop in about once a month. Eight years ago we met our boys for the first time in Haiti and brought them home later the same week. I ache when I realize how long the process is taking for you. Ours took 8 months- things tightened up soon after we came home.
We have your site linked to our blog and I occasionally look at our site to see if anyone else has eny updates on their blog. Now adopting 2 from Haiti.
Hi Stephanie. Penne here from Santiago. We adopted two babies here in Chile - do not know if it is considered international or not! I check regularly to see how your process is going and am praying along with my family daily for your WHOLE famile to be under one roof soon!!
Hi! Check your blog often!
Loving the new photos and videos of the little guys...you're file seems to have picked up speed! That's great!!!!! Ours...it's still at a stand still :(
