Spring Break

Our family had gone to Haiti over spring break. It was really unrelated to our adoption. A group from church went to visit villages with GLOW ministries. An original thought of ours was to take the kids with us when we pick up our child, but having talked with other families and also the orphanage director, they really don't recommend that. I see their side, that the child needs to bond with us before just bonding with our kids. Our desire was to have our kids experience a little bit of Haiti, just so they have a little flavor of it, and things are totally out in the open that this child would look different than us. Not only that, it was just a trip that kept life into perspective. We've really been challenged with how we live since our church has challenged us with a year of Jubilee. It was a great trip, I'm really glad we were able to do that.

When we got home from the trip, there was a message on our answering machine in which the director was just verifying some of our information and that they were in the process of translating a referral, so we'd being hearing soon from them. So for a whole week we had to think about it!!!!!...............
