Why Haiti you might ask...well, let me share with you our story!
February of 2010, we received a phone call that will forever change the course of our lives. The caller was a neighbor, who didn't really know, but was told that we had a desire to adopt. She proceeded to ask us if we would like to adopt an orphan from Haiti? My heart was beating so fast, and my immediate reaction was "YES! Yes! Yes!" Then of course, I had to say," Let me check with Gaston and I will call you right back". So the journey began. About a month later, a team from a local church along with others from our church, travelled to the earthquake ravished Haiti...we anxiously awaited to hear who our new child might be...we had filled out a questionaire and really didn't have alot of preference...just one major request, and that was for the child to be younger than Tanner. Finally, the call came. We were placed with a boy named Rodrigue, 8 years old! Then later came a picture to place with the name! Well, actually the wrong picture came, so the boy we thought was Rodrigue, was not at all! Anyway, what amazed us the most, was how God immediately sewed him into our hearts and from that day, he was now our little boy, tanner's little brother! To be cont'd...

First picture in Haiti...
a young, boy shoeless, hungry and alone sitting at whats left of a building...
the bus
a long wait for the drivers...this is the orphanage bus...sometimes works, sometimes doesn't
a new way of life...
an area where all was destroyed and these are their new homes...
boys...boys...boys
Wish I could be a mommy to all of them! My heart breaks,that they don't have the love of a mother!
