updates, how to help?

I was going to apologize by saying that I am sorry I haven't updated since the earthquake struck, but Iknow that people have been following along with the news and our friends through facebook, etc. Somehow, amidst the chaos and devastation, all of the kids at Stanley's orphanage have survived! The staff have literally risked their own lives to make sure our babies are safe! After literally clinging to the TV and computer all of Tuesday night without word, we learned on Wednesday morning that Stanley was ok. The kids slept in the street and were scared and low on supplies but alive. That overwhelming fear has since given way to extreme grief and now inspiration... We are sick over the loss of life and the devastation to this country that we love.

Just hearing the noises and sounds from the streets of Port au Prince transports us to that place. Some of the most meaningful moments of our lives have happened there. It is the birthplace of our son, where his birthmother lives, and the place where I feel most at peace. Far away from the rat race, materialism, and luxuries, when we are in Haiti, we just are. Now, what is left? What will happen to the people, the landmarks, the culture?

We know for sure that Staney is not out of the woods yet- supplies are running low and it will be hard to keep the children fed and healthy. More on this later...
