While We Wait.


Adoption is all about waiting. So, we wait and we live and we wait and we pray and we wait. They tell us we are nearing the end, but it is little consolation to the waiting. We want to be united. We want our family together. We are preparing and the Lord is preparing us and them. Our adoption coordinator was in Haiti this week. She told our girls we will be coming to get them soon. This made Geslande smile. LeAnne says Geslande knows I am her "White Mama." It makes me sad that I have to be her White Mama, that the disparities make it so that poor black children are given to rich white people who can feed them and provide them with the opportunities their real parents cannot hope to give. I want to post a link to an organization who is working to change that. It is merely a drop in the bucket, but raindrops make floods. Please check them out if you have a minute. www.sustainablehaiti.org Consider supporting them financially if you are able. Maybe we can bring up the next generation of Haitians in Haiti. In the mean time, pray that our girls come to us soon.

I am looking forward to the day that our girls can play together.
