The pictures of Amelie gazing up at you are very telling. She is gaining trust, how beautiful! I felt so teary watching that lovely moment between mother and daughter.
So glad that Mike continues to insert himself. He is such a kind, loving man – she will be a Daddy’s girl, too!
Sweet Nadia, helping out and bonding. Giver her a kiss!
Congratulations, God is Wonderful! LEL

You are now a complete family. God Almighty has fulfilled all of your dreams. How blessed is it to be Nadia & Amelie who have been saved from certain poverty and struggle? How blessed is it to be Louanne & Mike who have the privilege and the honor to care for 2 of God’s most precious creations? How wonderful to see God’s handiwork unfold half a world away!

We love you guys and we are excited to see our new granddaughter soon.

Love,
Dad / Papa

You guys really had a busy day- not only getting your daughter but having to do all the normal stuff you would do on day 2!

I am so excited for you guys & my heart really goes out to you and Amelie for having such a rough start. Things will get better.

It made me smile to see how Nadia reacted with the note. You can tell she really wants her sister to love you guys.

Praying things will keep progressing & you’ll see more of that precious personality come out! Happy Valentine’s Day to you!

How I wish I could give you a big hug right now! I know that you expected this, but I know it doesn’t make it easier. It is so amazing to see the four of you, finally together. I am praying God’s indescribable peace for Amelie, and that he will guard her heart and draw her to Himself during this time. You guys are amazing and it is a privilege to know you and walk this journey with you. Praying for each day to get better and better! Sending all my love on this incredibly special Gotcha Valentine’s Day!

We’re all so happy to have a new member of our family, so precious and sweet. Her response is so normal for a child that age – but as she sees repetition of predictable and loving behavior she will relax! It’s all good! We all rolled-laughing about the “Mike is not a monster” note – so precious.

Nadia, I’m so proud of you for being such a great big-sister! You’ve really learned how to share all that sweet love you have in your heart. Tell your Mom & Dad to give you a big hug and kiss for me, ok?

We’re praying for you guys (all 4 of you) and can’t wait ’till you’re back state-side. Oh, Claire says she can’t wait until vacation!!!! Love you all!

I loved the note from Nadia. I’m starting to imagine what our forever family day might be like. Best wishes for the rest of the trip. Thank you for letting us follow along.
