Below is an e-mail I received from Crystal who works for Foyer de Sion. She goes to Haiti every 3 months with a group of volunteers and adoptive parents. This is what she had to say about MV and R.
"MV... Ah, what a beauty you have! She is so sweet. She sat by me for part of Sacrament meeting. She tried to get in the van with us after church and we literally had to pry her fingers off the door of the van. :~( Made me sad.....
On the other hand....she was SO thrilled and excited to get your gift! Her face broke into smiles and she just didn't stop. She had trouble opening the bag, so Richard helped her with that. She was happy to see your photos and she seemed SO relieved when I gave her a gift....as though she was judging whether or not she really had a family.... I am SO glad that you sent the gifts!
The scale at the orphanage was broken so we were only able to get heights this time....M was 42.25 inches tall and R was 36.75 inches tall.
R...shy as always...sat on the end of the bench at church, but....he made eye contact and would smile shyly before turning his head away or quickly ducking. And...look at the photos!!! He SMILED!!!! Made my day!!!"
Yes, they are cute and they seem pretty happy. What a strange world we live in! That thought will have to wait for another day......Au Revoir, Bon Nuit!
