Against All That Seems To Reason

Kristen and I are going to Haiti!!! After talking about it for a month and coming to terms that is going to be a longer wait than we thought, we booked our tickets to Haiti for the last week in July/first week in August. I now find myself in that mode of trying to distract myself from thinking about the trip. I am really excited to get down there again. It has been a long 8 months since our October trip. The worst part of it is having to leave our 3 children at home. I hate being away from them as much as I hate being away from our 2 in Haiti. When we tell those around us that we are going back over they kind of give us that look like, "Weren't you just there?" and, "Isn't that cost alot?" My reply is yes we were just there 8 months ago and yes it costs some money.....but 8 months is a really longgggggggg time to go without seing your children. Regardless of the fact they have not spent a single day in the USA with us or not and regardless of the fact they are adopted, God has given us a love for them just the same as the day we saw our children on that Ultrasound or the day they born. It just amazes me that they are ours even though we can't bring them home yet. As far as the cost of it all, I can live without some other extras if I can see my children, even if it is only for 4 or 5 days. God Bless and lets pray for all the people involved getting our children home!
