Thanks for joining in on our journey towards creating our forever family...

This is the place you can come to witness the adventures we experience as we adopt our child from the beautiful country of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. We hope you will come back often to learn about where we're at in the process, the culture of our child, our hopes and dreams, and to leave comments of encouragement.

WE TALKED TO OUR DAUGHTER...

On Thursday November 27th we finally got news of the foster parents contact information! They are a lovely couple who have been foster parents for almost ten years. They live out in the country in a small village in the centre of St. Vincent; they both are Godly people and they have a true love for children in need. After speaking with both of them for only a short time, we felt so at ease knowing that God had placed Asha in their care. They both have a wonderful sense of humour and we know she will be loved, nurtured, cuddled and played with. Praise God!!!

We would like to share with all of you what they told us about Asha. We have written down these facts in the dialect they use (how they speak). This is what they told us:

* We have Asha wit us since she was only six days old.
* Asha is growin’ well for her age. She is 12 pounds already; only takin’ four ounces of da milk – she has a small stomach.
* Yo little gurl be a happy bebe. She like to be oudside and is a hand baby; she like ta be in my arms. Only trouble is when I put her down she start ta cry.
* Ah, she bein' noisy now, wants me to pick her up (he laughed then). You don't need ta worry, she be in a good home and she da only bebe here, so she be spoiled!
* (You could hear Asha crying.) Your bebe is cryin’ now cause she need her nappie changed.
* Here, say hello ta ya daddady…(Asha makes cooing sound)…did ya hear her, did ya hear her? She said hallo!
* Da people you know be jealous cause Asha is so cute…everyone will want a piece ah her.

It was truly amazing to talk to them but even more amazing to hear our little girl coo and giggle in the background!!!

Please continue to pray that going through the embassy in Trinidad for Asha’s visa, is a quick and smooth process so that we can bring our precious girl home as fast as possible.
