First let me tell you about adoptions. The meeting on Tuesday was cancelled because of lack of participation of orphanage directors. We cannot get people to come to these meetings. I just pray that everyone doesn’t regret not stepping forward and doing something a year ago to lobby for adoptions to continue in Haiti. Everyone [...]

Wednesday, we arrived at Dr. Robert Reid Cabral Hospital at 9 AM to meet the doctor. We didn’t see the doctor we had previously seen but we saw another one who was equally nice and spoke excellent English! She said that she had a tutor in English as a young girl. I was so thankful [...]

As the weeks keep flying by, it’s time to once again pause and look at the way that we can all support God’s Littlest Angels and our children. I believe that Paul says it well in Ephesian 6:18 – “In the same way, prayer is essential in this ongoing warfare. Pray hard and long. Pray [...]

We arrived at the Medical Center at 7 AM and Frantina did very well considering she could not have anything to eat since the night before! She has been really good the whole trip. I am really impressed with how happy she is and loves looking at all of the different things around her! They [...]
