Monday, July 19 was a joyous day as
Emily and David Nelson
arrived to adopt Lizet, Angela, and Xavier.
As you can see everyone is very happy
about becoming a new family.
The kids of Casa Hogar San Jose
welcomed the Nelsons with some singing.
Then each of the kids read their new parents
a letter expressing their joy.
Xavier promises to be a good son.
Lizet says she was been waiting to be part of this family.
Then Angela expresses her joy of joining the family.
It was an emotional time for all, but very joyful.
Awhile later, Xavier plays his zampona
and Angela and Gloria play a duet.
Emily is glad the kids have had a good introduction to piano.
The new family looks very happy.
David and Emily were accompanied by Maria Elena and Raul
who have 25 years of experience in facilitating adoptions.
A local psychologist and social worker are also
working with them to finalize all the paperwork.
They'll be in Arequipa into early August and
after a few days in Lima will be heading back to Texas and Oklahoma.
Starting July 22, the kids will be living with their new parents
at the former home of Fr. Ron and Vicki Robertson.
After meeting the kids on Monday evening, all the adults went
out for a special celebration dinner at La Italiana.
