Six kids will be united with their new families today, Cheryl is escorting them home as we speak. We are anxiously awaiting for word that A&E's friends are safely in the U.S. Maima and Tarry (NJ) Jacob and Mardia (NY) Felicia (MI) Alomiza (NY) Also, one of our other favorites, Ishamel , met his parents for the first time yesterday. Craig and Karen Monson from UT are at the AFAA house now. We are so happy these meetings are finally happening after a big wait. QUOTES FROM ABEGAIL : Last night Scott made chocolate chip cookies. Abegail comes in the kitchen and says, "can I have one?" I said, "Ask Daddy." She says, "But it's an emergency!" I'm sorry we interrupt this programming for a cookie EMERGENCY.
Yeah!!! Congratulations on conquering this test of strength, endurance and love. Isn't God Great!!!

HALLELUJAH!! Home at last! Can't believe how good you all look after your interminable return trip! It's wonderful to think of A&E at home, seeing their beautiful room with their very own beds, meeting their sweet sister and starting the adventure of becoming a family. Keeping you in our hearts as you continue this journey of love. We'll give you time to settle in before we call to come visit, but don't hesitate to call us if we can do anything for you.

I have been watching with great interest and anticipation on a multi/daily basis. You had quite a journey, to say the least. Now you can reap the rewards of your efforts. You will make great parents for your two very lucky new children. God Bless!

WOW!!! After all you've been throgh, this is meant to be. You both look so happy, and as for the culture shock, I believe it will be an easy transition. Those children are use to a much different world but children are so adaptable. Tell them that there are many people in Oklahoma who want to meet them.
