Update from Haiti | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from March 2009.
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from March 2009. I don't have the energy to write tonight, so I am going to cut and paste the updates I've gotten today about Keanan. Shelley is sending them - she is a totally lovely missionary who runs the orphanage. He is at her house tonight before moving hospitals tomorrow. I think I've mentioned it before, but I absolutely adore all of the people who work for Heartline Haiti. They are doing all they can, but healthcare in Haiti is tough, . . .
Wednesday’s Child: Nick
Every Wednesday I feature a child recently highlighted by a local Wednesday's Child newscast to share the stories of children from around the country who are waiting for a family. My hope is that this can broaden exposure for the children highlighted, but also serve as a reminder that these children represent thousands of children currently in the foster-care system. Perhaps their stories will inspire you to consider opening your home to a child needing a family. For more information and to . . .

On Thursday's I post from the vault. This post is from February 2009 Ou pral rete avek nou - You are going to live with us. I've been having a discontented week. If you've been pregnant, you know that feeling when you are nearing the end, and you are just OVER the wait, and ready for the baby to be born already? Yeah, that's how I feel times two right now. I'm anxious for our baby girl to be born, but I'm also feeling a growing sense of wanting and needing Keanan . . .

This was in last week's Miss Manner's column: Nosy people don't deserve reply Sunday, January 25, 2009 By JUDITH MARTIN Dear Miss Manners : We are a noticeable family, as our children are black and my husband and I are white.

A gift and a challenge || On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from December 2008.
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from December 2008. I woke up to a gift in my email inbox this morning - some amazing new photos of Keanan. My blogger-friend Jamie Ivey and her hubby are in Haiti visiting their own kids who are waiting to come home, and they took some amazing shots of our little boy. It is such a treat to see pictures of him and hear reports of how happy he is. It makes the waiting so much easier. Thank you, Jamie!! Jamie's husband Aaron wrote some . . .
What’s Taking So Long in Haiti? || On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from October 2008.
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from October 2008. People are always asking me why our adoption is taking so long. It is such a hard question to answer. How do you explain the insanity of Haiti adoption? It's a place with absolutely no infrastructure, poor communication, every-changing rules, and absurd corruption. The hoops for completing a legal adoption are almost laughable. Except you've been waiting too long to laugh. Our orphange director John was writing about one . . .
