Orphan Update

A few months ago I told you about 2 orphans in need of adoption. They have found their forever families.

Louinard, from Haiti, will be moving to Minnesota! His new mommy and daddy have been able to visit him. They sent back pictures (I am not able to post them) and let me tell you, that little boy is one handsome guy. He was sick while they were there but they were able to keep him in the hotel with them. The downside to visiting your child before the court has approved the adoption is, you have to leave without your child. To top that off, Haiti's court system is not fast. It could be 6 more months before they bring him home. In a country like Haiti, where money and health care are in short supply, that can be a very scary wait.

Naum, from Ukraine, is coming home! His family is over there right now going through the courts. The Ukraine court process can take about 4 weeks. The family will be there the whole time. Then they can bring that beautiful boy home.

Anyway, I love happy endings and thought I'd share these two wonderful stories. Keep your fingers crossed that Louinard can get home soon. And visit www.reecesrainbow.com to see pictures once they get home. (Under the HOMECOMINGS tab).
