The Hagertys' Rock!

This is Carlos (who was also our interpreter whom we have kept in contact with via email since returning home) who is reading the handwritten note by Andrew telling ICBF to please take care of Tatiana's sister until we can come to Colombia and bring her home!

These are the very same women who were present at our meeting minus one, and that funny guy in the middle-- that's Oscar, he was our lawyer, too! Oscar could not believe we were adopting three! I'm sure he is amazed by the Hagertys', too (5 + 3 = 8)!

Muchos gracias, la familia de Hagerty!!!

Not sure if that is the right translation, but MANY THANKS, HAGERTYS!!!!

These are the very same women who were present at our ICBF Meeting! How awesome! I guess I should tell you what these pics are all about! If you read the previous posts, you may understand... The Hagerty Family met their beautiful babies today! Their children live in the same area as our children had lived... Florencia.

I always wondered what ICBF's thoughts were when they received pictures of children in our post placement reports. In our adoption, we were required to make 3 post placement reports and send several photos. I read from another CHI how one mother made scrapbook pages with photos, and they looked really fun (Julie, you rock, too!). So, I got this idea, that I could make ICBF a few pages and put Tatiana's request for a sister on there, too. I know we'll have to go thru the whole process again, but I thought it was just so special that she wants to go back to Colombia for her sister, and I wanted to share it with the ladies who helped care for my children now, and who just might be caring for the ones in the future! So, to see these pics, what a blessing!

How cool, Jan! I didn't even expect this! You are awesome!

So, Jan has posted on her blog, but is having some difficulties posting the pics...she sent me one... I will wait til she gives me the "go ahead" to post it here or on the Yahoo board (CHI families access only).

Please continue to pray for them, the Bond family, and Jim and Betty and any others who may be traveling or are traveling now!
