I’ve been following Debra’s blog as she and Ernest fight {and I literally mean FIGHT} to bring their son, Ronel, home from Haiti. Please remember this family in your prayers. Ronel was scheduled to leave Haiti when Amos and several other kids left, but he was missing some paperwork. Ernest is there right now doing everything in his power to get his son home. Ronel understandably had a really hard time when the other kids were able to leave and he couldn’t. He thought he was finally going home and was so disappointed. You can read about it here. It is very sad. I just wanted to share so more people could be praying that God would make a way for this precious boy to finally get to the U.S. and be with his family.
I’ve been meaning to share this song for a while. I have a lot of love for the Ivey family – even though I only know them in blog land. Aaron wrote this song, and it is beautiful. It was written for Amos & Story, who were both adopted from Haiti. Ronel is also in the video. The second face you see is his, and he can also be seen drawing with chalk toward the end.
{Edited to add: for another great description of Ronel’s situation, go HERE. You can also read about UNICEF’s take on adoption, which I found very interesting.}
