Home At Last - One Year Later!

Haleigh, Elmise, Armon, Tyler
in Haiti on one of the trips to meet
the children.
     Son, Rob, and wife, Jessica, had a heart for the people, especially the children, in Haiti. They knew they couldn't help everyone but perhaps they could help one. They looked into adoption and found siblings who needed a home, Elmise and Armon.
     So home studies, papers filed, money raised, visits to Haiti...so many details were completed. A year and a half went by. Another six months and the children would finally join the family in Michigan. 
     Then the earthquake hit. Elmise and Armon were among the first of the adoptee children to be flown to Florida.

      One year ago today they arrived in our airport, our town. What an exciting day. A lot of us were at the airport to meet and greet them. We'd been waiting and praying for this day for so long.

It's amazing how quickly they have adjusted to life here. There isn't even a trace of an accent.
They are adjusting
well. We're so proud of them.
Lord, please keep Your Hand on these children of Yours.
Please be with Rob and Jessica as they raise these children along side of Haleigh and Tyler. Keep them strong.
