Lots going on here.  Dave left for Boone, NC  to be with Student Life this weekend and we were all supposed to be going.  The car was packed and in a moments notice I needed to stay behind to try and do everything we can to see about getting Frankie and all the kids from Heartline out of Haiti and here…

Thank you for finding us here and for following our story of our Adoption of our son Frankie from Haiti.  You’ll find many posts here that covers all emotions from our journey through the past few years. We truly hope that our story helps to raise some awareness for Adoption, Haiti, Heartline Ministries and the missionaries who…

I am a walking Zombie and I feel so selfish for even saying that.  My child is ok and for now being cared for but I can’t seem to move on or attempt to sober up for that matter.  Countless people have died and are dying and in need of help and I can’t seem to…

It’s hard to know what to do.  If you would like to help and want to help Frankie and the people who run Heartline you can go here and contribute.  They need to rebuild the walls around the girls home so that the kids can be safe in the coming weeks.  There will also be a need…

Here is the latest update from John McHoul (our orphanage director): “All the children are fine. They and the night workers and e Tlucek clan stayed at the home of the Buxmans last night. They stayed in the yard due to the mant aftershocks that we had. The main damage that we sustained was to…

In a second life can change.  I am speechless.  It started out as a great day and all the facebook messages of birthday wishes was so fun.  Then I hear news that an earthquake hits Haiti in PAP and I just sit in shock.  For 10 minutes I did not know if our son was ok or not.  I’ve…

Sometimes words flow. Other times there are no words that seem right to articulate. Either way my heart is full of joy. I’m thankful that God knows just what we need when sometimes we don’t know something is missing. Dave has been away these past few days at a conference and it has been so…

It’s been 2 months since we got news that we exited IBESR.  We are still in limbo and waiting on news that we have entered MOI for another long wait.  In some ways 2 months have flown by.  In other ways, It’s been long.  I think I’ll just feel so much better when I get…

Was thinking on this today… We volunteer because we care, we serve because we are passionate about something. I’m really thinking about what I’m passionate about.  I can list a few.  If you follow my journey you probably can list a few things about me as well.  I think adoption, tennis, painting, my children, running(not)…

We just went to Orlando earlier this week.  Dave did an event for FBC Tifton and was able to bring the family along.  We love the group from Tifton.  Our family has been able to partner with them over the past 5 years.  When you travel and speak for part of your living it’s always a blessing…
