HAITI HERE WE COME!!!!!!

Hello!!! Just a quick note to let all of you know... Rob and I are now going to Haiti in May!!! WOOOHOOOOO! This is so awesome. To not have children~ and wait and wait and wait and WAIT to see what God has in store is good... in that it produces character =) ... BUT it certainly gives a stronger yearning to have children every SINGLE DAY!!! And every day that we have to wait is full of anticipation and now that we are going sooner than expected... it causes PERMA-GRIN!!!!!! I just kinda feel in a daze of excitement... like is this really real!?? For those of you waiting for your kids.... I just wish I had a million dollars to take you all with me!!!! Because I TOTALLY WOULD!!! AHHH! I wanted to have a family since I was probably 10 years old!!!!! And it is coming closer to happening! God bless all of you!!!! Thanks for praying! Love Hope

Words can't express how happy I am for the both of you. Randy & I were married 14 years before we brought our first child home. We can't wait to bring our other two home. {{{ Hugs }}}

I'm working on going at the same time. It will be great to meet you and watch as God reveals to you the child or children He has already ordained for you and Rob to love, cherish and care for. Praying our home study gets to DHS in time to get our fingerprinting done so I can come!!!

Hope and Rob said...

Thank You Kathy! We're are excited for you too!! What an awesome day that will be!

Gail I'm so excited!!! It would be great to have you there too! We would love to meet YOU and also watch your process unfold. Who are you adopting? I think I knew at one point but I'm still trying to keep straight who belongs to who. =) We will pray for your home study to get to DHS...ASAP!!!!

We haven't met yet, I'm Michelle adopting Mia, Noah & Hope!! I am always excited when God brings families together. We pray every week that God will reveal the families He has chosen for the kids at TA's. I can't wait to see who belongs to you!! God bless you with a wonderful trip!!!

Hope and Rob said...

Hey Michelle! Thank you so much for praying! We can't wait to see what God's doing either!!! It's so exciting! And I must say Hope is a wonderful name for your daughter!:) God bless your family as you go through this process!!!

P.S.- Gail is adopting Isaiah.

I love the PERMA-GRIN. That's awesome. Waiting in anticipation for you to reveal to us who your children are. I'll be praying for you. Have a blast!! Oh...and take lots of tissues. You're gonna need them. :)

...a longing fulfilled is the tree of life (Proverbs 13:12)

I am the parent liaison and one of the board members for 3A's. I also happen to be adopting (AGAIN!!). Our little guy, Isaiah, is the younger sibling of our daughter, Sutton.

When it's time to start your adoption I'll be your contact person. I just booked my ticket and will be in Haiti May 17-22. See ya' there!!!

Hope and Rob said...

Gail! You have no idea how excited I am that you are going in May too!!! I can't wait to meet you! Rob and I have overwhelming peace about adopting from Haiti. We can't wait. We are narowing down who will do our homestudy and we're hoping for some answers in the next few days.

Angela!! What a great verse from Proverbs!!! It FINALLY settled in today! I can't believe it took me so long but I'm already starting to cry about this! I'm a teacher and our school year is ending in two weeks and we leave for Haiti right after... and as I thought of that today, walking up the sidewalk to go in to work... I started tearing up! God is moving SO FAST!!! We are so excited! We have also had more wonderful people donate money toward our trip in July! We are so blessed to be God's children!!!!!

Kathy Eden said...

So you are going in July too? I thought you were going in May instead of July but that's awesome if you get to go both times! I also can't wait for God to reveal who your child(ren) are!
