Here's a little video (from our visit trip at the end of February) of Isabella being silly and happy. She just melts our hearts!
I am very grateful and thankful that my friend Melissa sent me some pictures today of Isabella at her hogar. Thank you, Melissa! However, as even Melissa can tell, the photos (not posted) are further confirmation that Isabella isn't getting the care and stimulation that she needs. It's breaking my heart! We have another visit trip planned for April, and it can't get here quickly enough!!!
Here are some prayer points:
*PLEASE pray for Isabella! Her care and health are so-so.
*Pray that we get out of PGN quickly. She needs us now more than ever!
*Pray for wisdom and guidance as I make plans to stay in Antigua to care for Bella. There are so many details to take care of, as you can imagine.
Thank you all so much for lifting us up on this journey!

Big Kahuna and I have known each other since we were kids and have been married for almost 15 years. We are passionate about our family, travel and serving God. We love helping people and bringing them hope. We laugh ourselves to tears watching classic episodes of Saturday Night Live and The Office. Summer is our favorite season, and we live for warm evenings playing with the kids on the beach.
Big Surf is 14 years old. He's a voracious reader, focused, and spends hours building things. He is our resident techie and is also learning to play the violin. He loves to spend his free time playing baseball, flag football, or out on the trails by the house building his clubhouse.
Goofy Foot is ten years old. He devours his free reading books like there is no tomorrow. He is also the family comedian. If you see him, ask him to tell you a joke! He is tender-hearted, social and compliant. When he is not outside riding his bike, you'll find him drawing or writing a funny book.
Beach Bunny is three years old. She is our sunshine! She joined our family through the unbelievable gift of adoption. Beach Bunny loves to snuggle with us and carefully takes care of her baby dolls. She is super silly and must say hi to everyone! One word that describes her is "joy".

Oh you are lifted, and God is in this! He will show you the way, He has a greater purpose for you and Bella. I am not only praying for Bella's health and safety but for His discernment, wisdom and provision for you as well. We are believing to have our BC approval this week and plan to be in Guat in April as well. How fun it will be to actually meet you. Blessings dear friend, Susie
Consider it done. Is there anything I can do for you from this side? Let me know.
Love,
Amanda
My heart is breaking with you! I know God has a plan and is watching over your sweet, sweet Bella! Gilli and I just paused to pray that your case is released this week! Where two or more are gathered...
Praying for you. I read your blog all the time but don't comment as often as I should. Know I am thinking of you and praying for a speedy PGN out. Courtney
Sending a prayer up for you guys and Isabella!
My heart is aching for you right now. I will be saying prayers that everything falls into place and you can foster sweet Isabella. Praying also that your long awaited OUT from PGN comes this week!! Maybe the Easter bunny could bring your basket a few days early??:) Hugs!
Love your new header! Very cute. Susie
I can imagine how heavy that would lay on your heart to have to worry about your baby's care and health in her hogar. Sending up another prayer, and another one that you get out of PGN asap.
Love to you,
Joanna
Praying, Praying, Praying Isabella gets out of PGN so very soon. I hope you all had a good Easter. We had a white--that is snowy-- Easter here in Germany. He is Risen!!!
Blessings,
Shannon
