Today, October 18, is Bedeline’s first birthday. Of course we had hoped that we’d be celebrating this big event together, but alas, that’s doesn’t seem to be part of the plan. There’s still no word from the lawyer who had said she’d go check on the paperwork last week. We’re not sure if that means that she hasn’t gone at all, has gone and has nothing to report, or just hasn’t contacted Marialyn with an update. We’ll let you know as soon as we hear.
Last weekend we went to Wisconsin and babysat a 2-year-old girl so that her parents (long time friends of ours) could go to a Baptism out of state. It was an interesting glimpse into what our world is going to become when Bedeline does arrive. A very good practice run!
We now have another Haitian child that we’re invested in. We signed up last week to sponsor a child through Sean’s job (Friends of the Orphans) and of course, we had to choose Haiti! Herby is 12-years-old and as soon as the paperwork goes through we get to start writing letters back and forth. We hope to meet him and see the orphan home and hospital that Friends of the Orphans sponsors when we go to pick up Bedeline. Sean’s boss has also asked us to think about leading a trip to Haiti next year! Amazing to think that a little more than seven months ago Haiti was the farthest thing from our minds. It just goes to show that we never know which way our life will go.
