We received the best phone call of our lives. Nancy Betancourt of Christian World Adoption called me at work and told me about a 7 pound 12 ounce (healthy by far in Guatemala) baby girl available for adoption. She said that a package would come with her picture and statistics in it. I had two thoughts... I can't go back into my classroom without getting in touch with Randy, and how fast can I get home?
I remember that we agreed that we would sit down and open the package together. There were two pictures. One with a blanket covering everything but her face and the other was of her in a green onsie. Both looked like one of our hospital pics taken here. We were completely smitten!
The rest, as they say, is history! I just can't believe that it has only been 4 years. It seems like Makenna has been a part of me all of my life. It is amazing how God went to a third world country to pick the perfect child for our family. Praises be to His name!
