My heart is rejoicing for you guys! God is so faithful!
Tears form every time I think of you guys! What a testimony these lil' guys have to share, taken from a broken nation - to arms that are strong and filled with so much love!
Stephanie and Pedro, I am so happy for you guys. Seeing that video of Pedro carrying his two sons made me teary. It also made me remember how hard it was to have two babies at once added to the family. What beautiful children. Imagine, your 5 will be together soon for the first time. I can't wait to see that reunion.

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.
