For those readers who aren't internation adoptive parents, you may just not "get it" completely. Those of us in Guatemalan-Adoption-Land are a very close-knit community. When someone suffers a loss on the guatadopt.com forum, we all grieve. This, however, is just beyond terrible.
Please keep Carla and her family in your thoughts and prayers. They were in the process of adopting their beautiful daughter, Josi, from Guatemala. They were nearly done - there was a good chance that Josi would be home for Christmas this year. Tragically, Josi and her foster family was murdered by an intruder. I truly cannot imagine, and I can't stop thinking about how Carla nad her family family must be trying to deal with this right now.
Again, please remember this family as they deal with this inconcievable event.

Welcome!
This blog began as we documented our adoption of our third child, Caleb. It is now an eclectic journal of our often amusing lifestyle with 4 young children.
We do try to "keep it simple" because our lives are obviously busy enough! We try to hold true to what we firmly believe is the most important: family, friends, and faith.
We hope you enjoy our everyday happenings!
