No families home in January, but we're looking forward to next month!

Because of government office closures over the holidays extending into January, no children arrived in the US this month, but three families traveled to Colombia, three to the Philippines, and our first family traveled to the Dominican Republic! The Colombian and Philippines families will be bringing their children home in February, while the family in the Dominican will spend a few months there before finalizing their adoption. We can’t wait to see these ten kids come home - and see what the rest of 2022 will bring!
