We are in the United States!! What a wonderful feeling to be
“home!” Abree did so well on the flight today. We were in the
air almost eleven hours. She ate, slept, colored, played and
walked up and down the aisles (MANY times!!).
Our little sweetie tried ice cream on the plane for the first
time since she’s been with us and she LOVED it! She was upset
when it was gone.
While walking up and down the aisles with Abree, a church mission
group from Georgia spotted us. They had just finished a two week
mission trip at several orphanages in Ghana—Beacon House being
one of those! They were at Beacon House last week and they had a
carnival for the kids. When we were there this week we heard all
about the carnival..the children played games and won prizes and
had a wonderful time! These caring people remembered Abree
well—they said she was the cuddly one and they are RIGHT! A few
of them have pictures of Abree at the carnival that they are
going to send to us, and one of the men in the group prayed a
precious prayer for our family on the plane. What a blessing to
meet another group of people that loved on Abree before she came
home!
All went well at the airport here in New York, and Abree is
officially an American citizen now!! We are in our hotel room
ready to get some sleep and then fly the rest of the way home
tomorrow.
We are so exited to get home to our friends and family! What a
joy it will be to introduce this amazing girl to you all. She is
truly a miracle…a tremendous blessing to our family! We thank
you all for your prayers, comments and support throughout this
journey. God has answered prayers and our baby girl is home! Our
next update will be from Oklahoma! We can’t wait! |
A Good Morning Kiss for Daddy
