It's been six months since the earthquake in Haiti. My heart is heavy for the many people still there struggling just to survive day by day.
I was thinking back and remembering the roughly 2 hours we waited to hear whether our kids were ok, the email from our agency telling us that our wait could now be much longer than the 18-24 months we were expecting so we were free to back out if that was too long for our family to wait and us knowing that Saraphina and Olivier were the children God had chosen for our family - how crazy that we would end up getting our kids just 11 days later!
We are so thankful for the blessing of Saraphina and Olivier joining our family early that we received out of this tragedy. We also continue to be touched by the amazing stories of people and organizations making a difference in Haiti. Please continue to remember Haiti in your prayers.
Here is a picture of the kids today.

What an awesome picture and what an awesome story to share with the kids some day.
John, Jennifer, and family,
What a wonderful dedication of Saraphina and Olivier today! They are beautiful children (as is Jacob) and such a joyous gift from God. Thanks for sharing this special day with us.
Hug to all!
Harry and Marlene
