MAYA'S ADOPTION JOURNEY

WELCOME TO MY JOURNEY TO BRING MY DAUGHTER, MAYA GRACE HOME FROM GUATEMALA. DURING THIS JOURNEY I HAVE STUMBLED OVER MANY MOUNTAINS ONLY TO BUILD MY FAITH. THIS HAS BEEN ONE OF THE HARDEST JOURNEY'S OF MY LIFE AND IT HAS THE GREATEST PRIZE AT THE END. I CAN'T WAIT FOR THEM TO PLACE MY DAUGHTER IN MY ARMS FOREVER. MY DREAMS WILL THEN BE REALITY!!!

SECOND TRIP TO GUATEMALA

WELL, THE TIME IS GETTING CLOSE FOR ME TO MAKE MY SECOND TRIP TO GUATEMALA. ONLY THIS TIME I DON'T HAVE THAT MUCH EXCITEMENT. I AM GOING TO SIGHT SEE NOT VISIT MY BABY. I KNOW THAT THEY WILL NOT HAVE ME ANOTHER REFERRAL BY THEN. I DON'T WANT TO THINK THAT THEY WILL BECAUSE I JUST CAN'T TAKE ANY MORE HEART ACHE. SO , MAYBE IF I DON'T EXPECT ANOTHER BABY THAT SOON THEN I WON'T GET SO DISAPPOINTED AND UPSET. I WILL JUST TRY AND MAKE THE MOST OF THE TRIP AND SEE EVERY THING THAT I POSSIBLY SEE AND LEARN ABOUT MY FUTURE DAUGHTER'S COUNTRY. MY FRIEND ELLIE AND HER FAMILY ARE GOING TO MEET ANGELENA FOR THE FIRST TIME. SO, THAT IS VERY EXCITING FOR EVERYBODY. MAYBE I WILL EVEN GET TO HOLD HER. BUT I WOULD NEVER WANT TO TAKE AWAY ANY OF ELLIE'S TIME WITH HER DAUGHTER. I KNOW HOW I FELT WHEN I FIRST SAW BERALI. HOWEVER, I DID LET DEBORAH HOLD HER QUITE A BIT. AFTER ELLIE HAS TO GIVE ANGELENA BACK, I WILL HAVE TO TAKE HER SHOPPING. THAT IS WHAT WE DID AFTER THEY CAME AND GOT BERALI. IT WAS FLOODING AND I DIDN'T EVEN CARE. I WAS JUST WALKING AROUND FEELING LOST. I HOPE ELLIE DOESN'T HAVE LONG BEFORE SHE CAN GO BACK AND PICK UP HER LITTLE ANGEL. WELL, I HAVE RAMBLED ENOUGH.
