Mickenson
Ashley
Aaaaaaahhhh, they are so cute!!!
Now that I have been officially matched as the boys’ adoptive mother, they send me monthly updates on their health, activities, eating habits, what have you. And they also send me monthly photos. It is fantastic!
The reports say that both boys are very healthy and love attention.
Mickenson is very energetic and "is a happy child who has an affectionate and charming smile. He likes to be held. He also likes to run and play."
Little Ashley "is a content baby. He expresses his excitement by bouncing up and down in his seat. He also uses his arms to gesture. He is most often a happy child and is not easily distressed."
I can't believe how different Ashley looks in these pictures than in the first one they sent me, below. This first picture was taken soon after Ashley was brought in to the orphanage, he looked so thin and disoriented. He seems so much healthier and happier already!
I am just absolutely dying to get these boys home. The paperwork is slow, but I am doing all I can to speed it up. I am hopeful that our dossiers (mine as well as the boys) will be turned in to the Haitian government before the end of the year. Then it is just a matter of waiting for the government to approve everything.
I cannot believe how hard Haiti has been hit by disaster after disaster after disaster. The last thing that Haiti needed after the earthquake was a cholera outbreak and now Hurricane Tomas. I have thankfully received word from my orphanages that all of the children are safe and secure and that they believe the hurricane has already done most of the damage it will do in the main cities of Haiti. Luckily my boys are not in Port-au-Prince or Leogane, but up in the mountains of Kenscoff. I still get a knot in my stomach every time I hear about the next devastating thing to hit Haiti.
Thank you all for your prayers and your donations. I have been amazed at how many people have wanted to help us with this and have come to me personally to do so. I will never be able to thank you enough.
