Our Hearts are Happy!

So we have gotten home, and have been home for a little over a month. Once we got home and had to get right back into our "normal" life here in Kansas. It has not been easy. There are a lot of ups and downs after our trip to Haiti. We yearn to know more about our child. We miss seeing her. We love talking to The Bash about her. Keep praying that this next process gets passed through quicker than a year. Just keep praying for that.

What we do know about Benithy right now:
Chances for Children got to take all the kids to the beach for a day! It looked like everyone had a really great time. If you haven't liked/followed their page on facebook you should totally do it! There is so many great updates about everyone there.

Today we were excited to get an update about our little gal from a Haitian staff member. Here is what they put:

Benithy has made some changes since meeting her adoptive parents. She used to be

alone a lot and was mean to others and didn’t like to smile. She didn’t like white people

around her. Now, to her it seems like all the visitors coming are coming for her. Benithy

now wants to go to them and be held. She smiles more and plays more. She has a very

big voice when she is playing or calling the other kids. She is a very good girl never get in

trouble, with the other kids.

I think I've read that message a billion times, and each time I read it I tear up! It's so cool to hear all these positive things about our little girl! We look forward to more of these! Thanks again for all the continued messages and thoughts since we've been home. So many have sent such cool prayers and messages to me about knowing our pain in the wait.

Some questions we get a lot:
How long until you get to bring her home? It looks like a year. But we pray and hope that it will be closer to May

Why such a long wait? That's Haiti ya'll! :) It takes a while to get all of our items processed

Do you get to talk/see her? We really don't get to talk or see her. C4C did email us this update, so I assume we'll be getting more of these. They did also send some pictures of her as well. We'll mostly hear/ see her on he C4C facebook page. We hope we can write/email back and that someone will read it to her! :) Just playing it all by ear.
