I have not posted in a very, very long time. My heart was too broken. With Sean's injury (He is doing very well, btw) and the changes in Haitian adoption laws it became impossible for us to bring Sophia home. We don't understand why we went through this process and our hearts will forever be in Haiti with her. Sometimes her picture or just thinking of her still brings me to tears.
I don't know what God's plan is for her life, or if she will ever again be a part of ours but I continue to pray for her and love her. I know that I will meet her someday in heaven and get to tell her how we have missed her our whole lives.
Sean is finishing school and moving forward with plans to become an Army Chaplain, I am working full time...something I never expected. Our lives have changed dramatically. Sean enjoys doing most of our homeschooling now and the kids have adjusted to his being home more than me. It has been an interesting year but God continues to show us His blessings in the journey. We are looking forward to moving to Denver next year to attend Denver Seminary.
Thank you to everyone who has "prayed us through"!
The story of our adoption from Haiti, from day one to her arrival home.
Every dollar helps!

I'm so sorry for your loss. I do believe Sophia will always be a part of your family spiritually. I have no doubt much good will come from all your prayers for her. Let me know if you decide to blog elsewhere. I'd love to add you to my feed reader.
I am so sorry, Jenee. I don't know if you know the story, but we have traveled a similar road. It was very painful. My heart still wrenches in hurt when I see pictures and it has been about 14 years. I send prayers and very big {{{HUGS}}}! God is still faithful and sees the tapestry from above. Perhaps she just needed an "extra mommy" to pray for her throughout her life. And you know us humans. Sometimes only pain can get us on our knees. I love you.
I'm sorry for this loss. I haven't checked in a while, but remembered the link I had saved. I pray all of your upcoming transitions go smoothly. God's grace & peace to your family...
