Tonight's News

OK.... Remember we're working with Haiti and things sometimes run on Haitian Standard Time...I heard from Chareyl and Nadia is bringing 'the country kids" (as they're referring to the Meuzelaars, Vania and Z) tomorrow. She didn't get them to Fontamara today. I know this will frustrate many of you, but I think it demonstrates how comfortable they are that they are being cared for in their current location. Also, I've only had one family receive an email from DHS and it's definitely not required that you get that email. They may not send them at all. Heaven knows they have better things to do than send confirmation emails. :) So don't stress if you do not receive one. Also, I've been working today to arrange a plane. I want you all to know that we were able to round up $10K in donations today from large contributors to pay for jet fuel. I'm still working out the logistics of the plane and when and where and such and will contact you all as soon as I have anything firm enough to book your own plane tickets against. Please, please know that there are so many miracles in this whole process. Please don't lose faith if there are a few bumps (like missing emails from DHS or children that stay one more day with their birth families) here at the end.
Love you all!

I defidently have not lost faith! I keep praying and praying that Vania and the other "country kids" will soon be with the rest of their friends. I wonder if any of the kids know that they are about to be with their adoptive parents? It has to be over-the-top exciting for them! I know it is for me!!!

There are amazing miracles all around us. I believe that one of the reasons that Vania is such a content little toddler is because she has been cared for by her “country birth family” until she could make it home to you, her forever family!! We are praying that everything continues falling into place for Vania and the rest of your family. ~ Mare
PS. Today our “country children” will be taking a fun trip together todwith their Mama Nadia!
