We prayed daily that they would have a peace about us when they saw our photos and heard the news. It was not until January 26th, on Diana's next trip to Haiti, that the kids found out about their forever family. She brought them our backpacks full of toys/treats/clothes...and then shared the photo albums with our pictures. This is how they looked moments later!
Ange-Laurette had just lost her first tooth; hence the quiet grin. We got a kick out of the comb Pierre was holding in his hand for the photo. :) Diana shared that they were as immediately excited as any kids she'd told before. We were quick to explain that THAT had been our prayer.
Four days later, we had our first phonecall where we tried out our few phrases in Creole...and found out quickly how little we knew! They spoke fast and with energy. As soon as they heard us speak in their language, they went on and on. The only recognizable response was when I asked Ange-Laurettte, "Ou kontan?" (are you happy)....to which she answered a definitive "Wi!"
