Hello
everyone,
Whew! What an amazing past few weeks we have
experienced! I won’t go into tonnes of
detail on the timing of things but it is sufficient to say that our trip to
Haiti came together all of a sudden and off we went, almost before I had time
to get to Alberta, see the kids and pick up Sheri after having been in
Mexico! Confused? I almost was too!
Anyway Sheri
and I arrived in Port au Prince last Tuesday and met our boys Jackson and
Judeson for the first time! Because we
have poured over the pictures and videos of the boys that we have, it felt
almost like we “picked up right where we left off” with them, even though it
was our first meeting! It just felt like
we knew them already which was really cool!
They both came to us and wanted up right away which was also a blessing!
There really
are no words to express how our time was with them. It just felt so right. God has moved this adoption into the final
stages but I hesitate to guess how long we have left. That is always a dangerous game when talking
about International Adoption. The best
estimates we have been given range from 3-5 months left before we can go get
them and bring them home for good!
We have been
so blessed and felt so supported by all of you who have prayed for us during
this process. Please don’t stop
now! We need you to stick with us
through to the end!
Thank you
once again. Hope you enjoy the picture!
Lane and
Sheri Elliott
