Nataly's Coming Home!

One of the people me, Ben, and the children have been praying for at night is a little girl named Nataly. Nataly is from Colombia, and she is about 6-7 years old. She didn't have any parents, and was put on a waiting child list. One of my friends, who is like a long-distance sister, on the CHI Yahoo Support Group, chose to petition the Colombian government to assume care for Nataly as her Mami. Today, Jennifer received word that she has her daughter!!! Jennifer will be traveling in about a month to pick up Nataly and bring her home!!! I am so excited for her...

When I explained to the children today, Nataly is coming home, Yea!! They thought Nataly was coming here to our house...I had to show them pictures of Nataly's Mami's blog and point out who Nataly's Mami was and explain that Nataly was being adopted and now has a Mami and will be leaving Colombia much like what happened with you..."Ah, si..." I'm not sure that they totally understood, but they are hearing the word adoption more often...I want them to know that they were chosen, and special children of God and were placed here with us- just like Nataly will be with her Mami- for a purpose... So, rejoice with me! Another orphan has a Mami!!! Please also, pray for Jennifer and her mom as they will be preparing to leave for Colombia in 3-4 weeks! Check out her blog page at:
