Just starting up!

Well, this is a first for me, so please bear with me as I learn to blog. I will post some things that may just be a personal blog and other things that will more specifically deal with Special Delivery International and the adoption processes.

Just a little background. I have been in the adoption business since 2004 (officially), but my family has been involved with adoptions since 1979. When I was 11, our family moved to the country of Guatemala. My parents were called there to be missionaries. They have lived there ever since. December 10, will mark their 30th anniversary on the field. During that time many birth mothers approached them about giving up their children and so they began taking children into their home. Since then it has been a very rewarding experience to know that close to, if not over 1,000 children have found their Forever Homes here in the United States and even some in Europe.

Special Delivery has primarily worked in the country of Guatemala since the very beginning, but as those of you know, Guatemala has shut down since January 1, 2008. The current cases that we have are finishing up, but we have not been able to place any more children with their forever families since the beginning of January. Due to this "delay", we are expanding and are going to be offering families more options. As a Hague Approved Agency through COA, we are cooperating with another Christian agency and have opened up 2 new countries and hope to add more in the future. Currently we are looking for families interested in Taiwan and Haiti. If you are interested please contact me and request a packet. My e-mail address to contact me will be different than this post.

Please feel free to comment or ask questions and I look forward to hearing from you.
