We truly believe Larry King made a difference for the kids of God's Littlest Angels. Early on, he helped us get the message out about GLA and getting the kids home after the earthquake in Haiti. He cared enough to follow the story and we can't thank him enough...

Thanks also to Rosy who helped get us through the past 10 days... she is much more than a producer... She is a friend.

We need to continue to support God's Littlest Angels (www.glahaiti.org) as they have much more to come. They will soon be receiving new babies and need our prayer and support. There are so many children who need care... so many. We can't take this lightly... collectively we can make a difference. And pray for the GLA children with families in Canada and France - that the kids get to go home.

We want to say thank-you to Allison, who got Samuel taken care of tonight! We were down to only dirty clothes - and she SAVED THE DAY by dropping off outfits at the hotel for him. Thank you so very much Al... you are so very special to us.

Samuel is all we had hoped... he is an incredible kid and we have been blessed for sure.

Getting Ready

To go on air with Larry King!

Thank-You - seems so inadequate

We are working through our emotion, enjoying watching Samuel sleep… More to come for certain!

But we wanted to take just a moment to say THANK YOU to each of you for your support. People are showing AMAZING support, and we are truly humbled by what is happening around us.

Thanks to those who have played a role in this journey whether that be with prayer, love, donations, email and blog comments, emails or taking care of things for us back home. We feel your love and are feeling blessed. We are thanking God for everything he is doing around us…

Dixie spoke to the parents this morning – will try to get video and/or some words to share… That woman is amazing. These kids are special kids…

…and they are HOME.

Please pray though, as they are not yet US citizens… We will probably have to re-adopt them in the US and are praying this doesn’t mean starting completely over with the process/fees, etc… We are concerned as we aren't coming out of the country like most situations - many of us don't have a lot of the documents we would have in the "normal process." But hopefully it will be a non-issue for all of us.

I have my angel now!

Right now Samuel is taking a nap next to Jill in our hotel. I owe this moment to everyone who prayed so hard for this to happen.

Thank you also to Kimberly and Bruce who traveled along and documentented my journey.
