Paper with Purpose

You might remember that we had a few documents that were rejected by our government's authentication department.  We received word today that our final document needing revision had been completed.  So, we can now take these several documents to be authenticated.  At this point, the documents move on to be translated, and make their way to Haiti.  


In the meantime, we need to work on picture pages that will be given to each girl to introduce who we are.  On 8 1/2 X 11 pieces of paper, we need to provide a glimpse of who we are and seek to establish that first bit of connection.  While we know the few pictures we'll probably use, our more important task is determining how we will personalize the picture pages for each girl.  


-What should we write?  
-How do we make each of the girls feel unique and special?  
-How do we communicate all the hopes we have for their futures through such limited vessels?     


Our current plan includes trying to harness the tiny bit we know about their interests and talents in an effort to express our hearts and begin to add on to their definition of family.  We'll let you know how it goes.
