I just logged in to Licia's blog in Haiti and they sent Sonel home already! We were told that they would wait until Sonel could speak Creole before he went home. We just left him 16 days ago. I hope he can communicate with his mom. It will sure be a struggle if he can't.

SONEL'S JOURNEY
Sonel is in the US to have surgery on his 2 club feet. This blog is to record his journey to walking "normally". He walks, runs, and even dances on his club feet, but children with handicaps are not allowed to go to school in Haiti. I can't wait to see him wearing shoes for the first time!

About Me

- A group from our church went to Haiti in June of 2006. My heart would never be the same. I can't wait to go back, but for now, I have a little bit of Haiti with me. My family and I are hosting a little boy with 2 club feet, that will be corrected by castings and surgery, over the next few months. We have a grand daughter, Hope, age 9, that lives with us and is a great help and playmate for Sonel. We are taking one day at a time and letting God lead us in our journey of watching this little boy be changed forever.

Praying for you all during this very, very hard transition!!!!!! Will you have any communication with him/or through Lori? Do they sponsor his family now so they have enough to eat, etc? How far is he from Licia/Lori's?
praying for your heart tonight!!!!! I can't imagine!!!
((hugs))
I am excited to read about your Haiti trips.
Licia has to respect the parent of the child - if they want to take their child, she knows the culture very well and would only respond in the best most culturally appropriate way.
I know it hurts to return him to his Mom (I speak from experience also). I hope that your heart will be healed and your grief will be soothed by the God that SO loves you and Sonel and his family.
