Kennedy Marguerite Enters Our Lives


On September 28, 2007 we received a call from Carol (Director of Guatemala Miracles in California) asking if we would be ready to accept a referral at this time. She said she would be in touch with me once she had more details. We anxiously awaited her call.

On October 1, 2007 Carol stated she would be sending us photos and medical information for a baby girl born on 9/26/07. She was waiting to get the information from the attorney in Guatemala. We kept checking our email to see if they arrived.

On the morning of October 3, 2007 Brit and I were leaving for a day trip to Clarion for the Autumn Leaf Festival. I checked email at 6:30 a.m. before we left. The photos had arrived!

During the following week we finished getting all of our paper work in order and sent all of our documents to the adoption agency. We also sent our first care package, but it did not arrive in California in time to travel to Guatemala with Carol. She will be sending it down with a family that will soon be traveling.

October 22, 2007 Carol visits Kennedy in Guatemala and we receive new photos. We anxiously await for a video of Kennedy to arrive in the mail.
