We are out the door ... just got confirmation that our boys WILL be at the Orlando Int'l airport tomorrow night ... exact time to be known in the morning!
I have been following your blog for quite some time now. I have prayed many a prayer for your boys and family but have never written before. When I heard about the earthquake in Haiti, one of the first things I did was to check your blog to see if you had information on your boys. I sat there with tears in my eyes as I read that they were indeed alright. I am so HAPPY for you, the boys and ALL of your family, that this journey is coming to an end and a new journey begins. Marj
Praise the LORD!!! I know another couple that will be receiving their two children (a boy and a girl) too. Maybe they are in the same group?!?!?! Praying that your reunion will go well with you children! Can't wait to hear how it went and to see the pictures! Tears of joy!
So instead of having their Visa appointment on Jan 19th, they get to be in their Mommy & Daddy's arms! So much better!! Still praying for all the other details to get them back to Chile to work out!
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.
