We have been called to our most challenging mission thus far...

While I was in Haiti, I texted a couple of pictures of a baby boy to Joseph. He wanted to know what his name was, but I didn't know. He light-heartedly replied, "we'll just call him Hamilton." (we love Josh Hamilton in our house) A day or so later, I found out his name was Guerry H. The baseball in me immediately said, "we can name him Guerryg Hamilton. Although it is not the correct spelling of Gehrig (Lou Gehrig), it was close enough and we would not be completely changing his original spelling. The H would stand for Hamilton. It was all trivial, really. I was getting attached to a baby that I probably couldn't have. Holley and I had already been told earlier in the week that we probably were not old enough. Apparently you had to be 35 and I figured he was probably claimed anyway. The day before we left, I went to hold him one last time. I cried all the way to the airport while texting Joseph. He had to know how heavy this was on my heart. When I got home, we discussed Guerry and what it would take to adopt him. I called Dr. Bernard in Haiti to find out if we would be able to adopt even if we were not 35. Because, we have been married for at least 8 years, Dr. Bernard said it could happen. I let him know that I felt like God drew me to Guerry and wanted to know if we could somehow claim him before the process even started. To my surprise, we could claim him! It ends up costing a little more but I felt like this was the child God placed on my heart. SO WHAT NOW... We have a very long journey ahead of us in order to get Guerryg home. There is alot of paperwork involved and just like any other mission we have to come up with the money to make it happen. Please keep us in your prayers!
