Just Two Little Girls From Guatemala..........

BEST FRIENDS FOREVER!!!!!!!!
We loaded the truck early this morning and headed up the road to see Joe, Julie, and Abigail and it was wonderful to get to spend time with them again.
Chloe & Abigail share a special bond, they share a history together and they will be together forever.
We met Julie & Joe when we started our Guatemala journey. Two families that desperately wanted daughters from Guatemala. One in SC and the other in NC. Within months of starting our journey we were both comforting each other because of the loss of our 1st referrals within weeks of each other. We rejoiced together when Chloe was born on February 14, 2005 and Abigail following shortly behind her on March 14, 2005. Oh what plans we had for our daughter's, which included picking them up together. For some unknown reason God had other plans for us which meant we were not to bring Chloe home until much later. Chloe came home exactly 9 months to the day after Abigail came home. Chloe's best friend was her very 1st visitor upon arriving home and I still remember their 1st embrace. So tender that it still brings me to tears. Our beautiful daughter's finally together at last.
This past 1 1/2 years that Chloe has been home has been filled with many fun filled and very special times with this family. Chloe has experienced many 1st's with Abigail. Vacationing in Hilton Head, seeing Elmo live, county fairs, kids museums, and eating out many many meals together. Why these 2 ninas have even gotten Abigail's Mommy & Daddy (the vegeterians) to eat CHICKEN! I still haven't quite gotten over that realization. To funny for words, oh the things we do for love!
