This is a starting point. This is an update to bring everyone up to speed. I don't know who will see this, so this may be redundant for many of you. My wife and I decided to adopt a child from Haiti in 2007. We have known our daughter since Sept. of 2008. We have traveled to Haiti, held her, and of course had to say good-bye until the adoption was complete.
So here we are in January of 2010. It is hard to believe we can count years of the adoption process instead of months or even days. Suddenlly life has changed dramaticaly. The earthquake in Haiti has hastened our need to get our daughter home quickly, but has also had a tremendous impact on me personally. After our trip to Haiti I have felt a connection. Seeing firsthand the amount of poverty is a memory that I don't think will ever fade away. I knew the amount of help that would be needed, and I found myself wishing I could help.
God answered my prayers and I have been asked to participate in a mission trip to Haiti. So in 2 days, I am off....but before I go, the many wonderful people at St. Mary's Health Care had asked if I would keep people informed by keeping a blog. I don't know what will come of this blog, but we will all find out together.
