End of the Week.

Well, this week has come to a close and there haven't been many changes. In Guatemala we had 5 children come home to their forever families. Juan Jose, Rosita, Carlos Daniel, Daniela, and Cristian Javier. The families are so excited and are going to be coming home to parties, receptions and get togethers to welcome these precious children into their extended families. God is so GOOD! Although some of these families have waited a long time, others have not, yet God's timing is always perfect. As Ty Pennington would say, "WELCOME HOME, CHILDREN, WELCOME HOME!!"

I had the priviledge to escort Little Juan Jose (Juanjo) back to his forever family this last week. He had been at Nido del Aguila since he was born. He is 3 1/2 now and what a little sparkplug! He was talking and saying, "Hola" to everyone in the airport. He was so good on the plane. His favorite thing was to put the headphones on and listen to Kung Fu Panda that was playing. He slept good and ate good and was potty trained and didn't have any accidents. The funniest part for me was when we sat next to a man in the airport who was wearing a white baseball cap and had white hair. He kept patting my arm and calling me Mama Clarita and would pat his arm and call him Papa Larry. I guess since I look like my mom, he thought I was her and that any white haired man he thought was my dad! When he met his new family he was a little apprehensive, but with the coaxing of a loving mama and 3 other brothers, he is adjusting just fine.

Next week we will have 3 more children go in for their 2nd DNA and then they will be awaiting PINK! What a wonderful word that is PINK! This is the final step and appointment date for the families to pick up their precious little ones. If you are new to the process or are considering it, that is one of the adoption lingo words.

Well, I'll close for now, Hope to hear from our new families that are getting home sometime!
