Alaina is sitting on my lap and in her quiet little voice says, "My heart is broken because M and H aren't here yet." Oh, what a sweet girl!

Malaria
I received word yesterday that our two year old son in Liberia has +1 malaria. The pastor overseeing his care has taken him to the clinic for treatment. I'm told +1 malaria is not the most serious level of malaria, but please prayer for his recovery.
And, please pray for me, the long distance mommy. I asked if the boys had mosquito nets about a month ago, but didn't follow up. We could have sent money to make sure. (We will now.) Seriously, malaria kills a child every 30 sec in Africa and a $10 mosquito can prevent it.

Good news and not so good news
It looks like the new, almost finalized Liberian adoption laws don't have any unexpected surprises in them. That is the good news.
The not so good news is that it also looks like the adoption process will take about 3 months in Liberia. That means that August will be the earliest time we can travel to go get the boys.
