Love knows no borders a heart just has a need. When we find each other, a family we will be.
Expecting from Guatemala
Welcome to Mari's page. We hope you will enjoy learning about our journey to Guatemala. Kurt and I are very excited to meet our baby girl, Marissa. We will try to keep you updated whenever there is news. Please feel free to send us comments. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers!
If it seems slow, do not despair, for these things will surely come to pass. Just be patient! They will not be overdue a single day. Habakkuk 2:3
Mari...I have been thinking of you. I have a friend from Guatemala that lives in our hometown. Word from her family member that is a Guatemalan attorney is that he believes the country will re-open. They are very positive as they plan to get adopt 2 sons. I hope this all comes to pass as our adoption has been one of the most positive things of my lifetime. God bless, Cheri
