I have no words....
We'll be in Haiti in 12 days to meet the little boy that we hope will be our son.
I have no words in Creole to help him understand. We'll be going to his orphanage to pick him up, and then we take him make to our hotel with us for the next 5 days. The streets aren't safe, we stay in the compound of the hotel behind the walls topped with razor wire and behind the armed guards at the entrance.
There is a pool. and we've guessed on toys and clothes sizes. And hopefully he is well and we can go for walks around the compound.
I have no words to describe what I'm hoping to see as my big teddy bear of a husband gets this little boy out of any shyness he may have. I imagine it's mostly female workers at the orphanage, so a big, tall, strong, bald, white daddy that's all for Malot should be quite exciting for him.
And today a friend said she would take BobbyJones for the week we're gone, and now we just need a place for Divot to stay.
Checking and reprioritizing the donations, and constant rearranging to make sure we don't exceed weight limits.
The adventure begins again.

He kind of looks like a Marshall.
Or Max (Maxwell if you like more formal). Or even Marcus.
