well i got a kiss today. that was great. i also got some laughs.
amos tested positive for malaria and he has been getting treatment for two days now. i left at 6:15 am with story, zach and evie and we headed to PAP. it is a hard road up and down to their house. story was a champ though!!!
we went to a grocery story that is kinda like sam's. very nice and you buy in bulk. i got 24 cans of 42 oz formula for story for around 400. that should last her a long time.
then we headed to the INS office for me to sign my I600 and then I couldn't b/c i haven't received my I71H form yet. i hope to get it very soon at home. (Aaron be watching!) So then off to the Psych visit for Story and she passed! I met Troy and Tara's little Phoebe and she is a doll. I also met the little girl that Tara's sister is adopting. Very cute too and her and Story are very close in age.
I spent lots of time in PAP today and that was interesting. I will not even attempt to describe that on here. It couldn't happen! Good thing is this, I never was scared. Once we were talking to some shady men but Zach reassured me that we were okay. 🙂
Well Amos has been great since I've been home this afternoon. He is laughing and playing and loving his play-doh.
Not much internet time left for me … talk to you tomorrow!
Hey Jamie:)
I am sorry to read that Amos has malaria, and yet, if he is gonna have malaria…much rather he have it while his Mama is there to be with him, hold him and teach him about a Mama’s love!!!
Sounds like you had a GREAT day…..God is so very, very good!!!!
Checking your site daily just to hear JOYOUS news!!!!
God continue to wrap you and all those He loves so very much in His Hands,
Diane….Praising Jesus for prayers answered, so happy to hear things are looking up!!!
Jamie,
Thank you for sharing your sweet moments with Amos & Story. I appreciate the moments that are not sweet as well. I can’t really articulate the emotions that are stirred within as I read about life in Haiti. Please know that you and the ministires that you are serving with are in my prayers.

Jamie,
Matt and I have been glued to your blog all day long today. I had not seen it until my mom forwarded me a message from your mom today with a link to it. Wow is all I can say. We are so blessed by what God is doing in your lives and the lives of your beautiful Amos and Story. We have also been looking through Licia’s blog as well. Matt is the small groups pastor at a church here, and we plan to let the groups know about the need for diapers there. We just went through a miscarriage last month, and have been talking a lot about adoption since. We don’t know where God will lead us yet, but we sure are blessed to see what you guys are doing. Thanks for that. We are praying for you daily.
Matt and April Willert
So exciting about a kiss! I know it made your day and night! We will continue to pray for Amos to get better fast.
I left something for you on my blog if you get a chance to read 🙂
love you and we miss you!!
I knew his behavior was all because of the nasty fever! So glad he is doing better.
I amso glad for a better day. Sounds like maybe Amos is feeling better now that he is has the medicine. We are still praying for his recovery. Can’t wait to hear about today! Love you I am so excited that you are having this chance to be with your babies! Shawnah
sweet friend just know we are praying for you, amos, and story … i promise you the road traveled will be riddled with so much … just remember as amos’ mother you are God’s tool to heal and restore this precious child … his love for you will come … so glad you got a kiss … what a wonderful treasure from God … they are both just precious … love you so much and thanks for sharing your journey …
I stumbled across your blog and just wanted to tell you what an inspiration you and your family are to mine. It is amazing what you are doing! I wish you the best with Amos and Story and know that your family is now in our daily prayers. I hope I have the chance one day to adopt and your story has inspired me to take a look further and see what I can do outside of my community. God truly blesses!
