March Update

Happy Spring from God’s Littlest Angels, Shannon!

Another month has raced by us here in Haiti. It is hard to believe that spring (or rainy season in Haiti’s case) is already among us.  We are seeing files move and progress in the adoption process and our Fort Jacques property has seen some significant transformation this month.  We are looking forward to meeting many of you in the coming weeks and we continue to pray that the rest of the files in IBESR come out so very soon!  It has been and continues to be a great encouragement to us all to have families coming to pick up their children and many more families on their way to meet their kiddos for the first time.  I know I am greatly blessed by each adoptive family that visits.  Not only is watching a child unite with his or her family an answer to prayer but your words of encouragement do not go unappreciated, each kind word you offer to us is the “fuel” we use to keep doing what the Lord has called us to here in Haiti.   Thank you for welcoming Kimberlie into your heart and home.  We cannot wait she is in your arms!  “Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me but the one who sent me.”  Mark 9:37
I am looking forward to the day you get to come and pick up Kimberlie!  I know the day is drawing near and I just pray that the time flies past us faster than we expect.  I am glad you met Kimberlie last year and I look forward to the day you get to come and see her growth and development for yourself. 
This month I put together a “collage” of six photos that, I hope, can give you a little insight into the life of Kimberlie here at God’s Littlest Angels.  I know waiting for your adoptive child to make their way home is a difficult task but I pray that you can rest assured that they are getting the best care we are able to provide to them as they wait for you to come pick them up.  I hope you enjoy this month’s candid photos with a brief description of what some of Kimberlie’s day looks like.
I hope Kimberlie’s collage gives you a glimpse into what her day looks like.  You have been here, so I am sure you are able to picture it quite well.  She loves spending time on the balcony and she has been especially interesting in riding in the car lately.  She will spend all of her time in the car, getting in and out, and even pushing her friends who get to the car before her.  She most definitely enjoys meal times and snack time.  She is good at waiting patiently for her turn to eat.  Kimberlie does a good job of going into the change room when it is time to get ready for bed and also does a good job of staying in her crib during nap and bed time.

Kimberlie is healthy and growing:
Height: 83 cm
Weight: 25 lb 4 oz

Hoping your spring is off to a great start!
