• They’re Here

    Some people know that ever since our foster son came to live with us, he has struggled to get his children with him. We got the twins out of the refugee camp in 2004. We’ve been working on getting them here since 2006. Along the way, Manyang got a fiancee and a new baby. We have worked with three different immigration statuses for four people, with many setbacks along the way, but with help from many, many people. Even last week there was a glitch, and even last week someone helped moved things along.  And so tonight we picked everyone up at the airport.

  From there, the baby’s car seat, phone calls on the way home, socks for the sockless, tea, dinner, one to bed early, visitors, baby Tylenol, toothbrushes for all. Life, pretty much. L’chaim.
