And on August 4th, 2013 that dream came true. We boarded a plane and got to wrap our arms around our twins, Kelly and Kevenel. My babies, only seen in pictures and read about on paper, were right there all handsome in front of me and all I could do was sob. I know they thought I was absolutely the craziest white woman they had ever seen. These were the twins God laid on our hearts even before they were born. This was faith turned into sight.

Erasers Make a Terrible Snack
Meet Ysmerline
Last week we welcomed Ysmerline Angel House Orphanage. She is estimated to be about 2 years old and had been abandoned to a local hospital when she was just months old. Although generally healthy, she is blind in one eye. She often appears to be giving a sour expression because she will squint as she works to focus on what is in front of her. Because she has been confined to just her crib, she has underdeveloped muscles and cannot walk on her own yet.
The Power of Sponsorship
Comerson had been discarded. His mom abandoned him on the streets of Port-au-Prince, and he was close to death. A street vendor took this severely malnourished and listless baby boy to the local authorities. The social service agency in Haiti contacted Three Angels to see if we would be willing to take him in. In all honesty, this baby was very sick and some were preparing for him not to make it.
