I'm so thankful that God called you to be her family. And most importantly, I praise God that she will come to know HIS love through yours.<br /><br />Praying for you. I'm so anxious to read about your next gotcha day. =)Erynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02130213547160034202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834880896284383403.post-52491086820532960962010-03-21T06:22:22.754-07:002010-03-21T06:22:22.754-07:00So great to hear from other families going through...So great to hear from other families going through the same process!

We too are stuck in the humanitarian parole process. My Haitian daughter, Gaelle, will turn 6 years old on March 30 and I am so praying for her to be home by then. We live in Weatherford, TX and are a part of 17 families in our area adopting children from Haiti from All Of God's Children Orphanage (GVCM). We are praying along side you for this HOPE Act to pass. God is bigger than any piece of legislation and we are believing He will bring this story to completion with Gaelle in our arms and I pray the same for you as well to have K in your arms.<br />Blessings,<br />RochelleRochellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18248461231977922363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834880896284383403.post-90748715632971738442010-03-20T10:15:59.387-07:002010-03-20T10:15:59.387-07:00We seem to have a lot in common.

Last week I received confirmation that Congressman Brad Ellsworth became a co-sponsor. I have asked Senator Richard Lugar to sponsor a mirror bill in the senate, but have yet to receive a response. I have a personal contact there due to some challenges with one of international adoptions. However, I've not heard anything back yet. Indiana's other senator, Evan Bayh, just released information that he will not be running again. Therefore, he is obviously not going to be motivated to do anything new. So we will just continue to pray that our government officials hear the voices of adoptive parents and those with a heart for the children of Haiti. Blessings to you in your continued efforts. Many have moved onto the next story or big disaster. My hope is to keep this story alive and get help for the orphans in Haiti. You seem to have the same goal. May God show favor upon you as you take this task on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834880896284383403.post-64194169388730301602010-03-18T17:30:06.300-07:002010-03-18T17:30:06.300-07:00Praying!!!Praying!!!Allihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01230134761601185646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834880896284383403.post-5058413295692795522010-03-18T16:22:20.474-07:002010-03-18T16:22:20.474-07:00That letter is just precious!

So often, I'm very ashamed to say, I just feel like whatever I would do would be so small that it wouldn't help....but you've proven that wrong! Thanks so changing my mindset. This little "K" is so beautiful, and the pain in her eyes is so obvious. I hope hope hope that she will be in your arms very soon. <br /><br />Take care, <br />TraceyTracey @ My House of Giggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862096649746543859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834880896284383403.post-87529855621402378842010-03-18T06:42:11.949-07:002010-03-18T06:42:11.949-07:00This is amazing and makes me cry.

We are in the middle of adopting a little boy from Ethiopia and it such a blessing to see other adopting families. I also know the feeling of praying for things so much bigger than us (laws have been changed and effected our adoption in the last week). But God is so huge and so faithful to bring it all about! I think it's so wonderful that you're adopting this little girl - what a blessing you will be to her ... and she'll probably be an even bigger blessing to you!! :) I am your newest follower and I look forward to lifting you and your whole family up in prayer throughout your journey!Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13481930991215306755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834880896284383403.post-46243279725125806472010-03-18T06:00:48.341-07:002010-03-18T06:00:48.341-07:00good news on the hope act!!! praying for more goo...good news on the hope act!!! praying for more good news!!!carissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00601211338190358077noreply@blogger.com
