A short story from a far away land

Friday, October 12, 2007

This is Darling Boy, our new Grandson. He is 13 years old now and will be coming home to America in just a couple of weeks. My son Igor and his wife Charity made the decison to adopt him after visiting the orphanage in Liberia several weeks ago... with a lot of prayer!

Darling boy, whose new name will become Emmanuel (b-day is on dec. 24th), has a congenital heart condition. His father gave him up for adoption after exhausting all possibilities of him getting the medical attention he needs in Liberia. He will soon be here to join my son, Antonio and Roman (brothers)and receive the life-saving medical care he needs.

We are all very excited about our new addition, specially Darling Boy (Emmanuel). We thank God for allowing us to be your grandparents and welcome you with open arms.
Aries will also be coming home, but not until a few more weeks (that's her in the picture above). I can't wait to meet her also.



I'm so proud of this young and courages family. Most people talk about making a difference like this, these folks actually are doing it. Your faith to trust God through this process encourages me.

Welcome home Darling Boy!
