I stumbled onto your blog- But God works in cool ways because I was just at your daughter's orphanage this summer on a mission trip! We loved on, prayed over and held alot of babies, so someone on our team held and prayed over your lovely daughter this summer!

We are also adopting from Guatemala (through a different agency) and I am always so excited to see another child come home to their family! Congratulations on your PINK- the best color!
