"I was born with a bronze skin and I like it. Some of my friends were born white or black or yellow. They were not consulted. But that's all right. There are yellow roses, white roses, and red roses and the fragrance of one is about as nice as another." ~Chief Walking Buffalo

Kontinye!

Yesterday we got the 'official' phone call from our province indicating to us that we are able to proceed with our adoption from Haiti. We are so thrilled to be able to move ahead in this adoption process.

Next step: child referral! We have been waiting over a year and a half for this, but it feels like eternity. The name of this blog is so appropriate - I didn't even realize how appropriate when I chose it. Another mountain - check! Now it will be a long few weeks until our referral comes in, and then a long few months? years? until he comes home. Many more mountains; but summiting this one was so sweet.

We Proceed!


“In art and dream may you proceed with abandon. In life may you proceed with balance and stealth.”
~Patti Smith
