For the very few of you that actually know about and read this blog, I feel like I must make a disclaimer. Mostly because of past fears of adoption mores or in some cases, laws. Ethiopia is very strict about posting pictures of children that have not been declared by their court, legally the child of the adoptive parents. I assume most or all countries have some guidelines regarding this. We know of no such guidelines in regard to Haiti but are treading carefully to ensure there are no issues. Jivenson's picture is already on HFAP's blog, his sponsor's personal blog and many others Facebook pages and blogs, people who have been to Hope House in Haiti and met him and the other children. Because his face is already out there in cyber space it seems like it would be fine to post it here, so I do....but limited. We've only told a handful of people about this blog so we feel that it's a safe place to share our pics of him. I say all this because it feels so far from Jivenson legally being our son and there are still so many bridges to cross...but we are continuing this journey with confidence that God knows and has us all in His hands.
So I will post more pics of Jivenson, in limited amounts, and await the day when he will really be ours and proudly post his face for all to see!
