In November I am going on a mission trip to work at an orphanage called Eagle's Nest in Guatemala!! AWESOME! I am so excited about this amazing opportunity. Here is the website of the orphanage where we will be working. To see pictures go under Mama Clarita's books and then go to the gallery. The children are gorgeous. http://www.specialdelivery4kids.org/I am going with my amazing buddy Amy. She adopted two beautiful little Guataprincesses from here.
If I was going to adopt from Guatemala again I would adopt from Eagle's Nest. I believe they are ethical and truly helping children in need. If you are considering adoption from Guatemala please consider this orphanage. I will be glad to give you details and references if you would like. With these people you can know that everything is above board and you are helping a child who truly needs a family.
Zoe is not ready to visit Guatemala yet. It is too much for her right now. I MAY be meeting her birth mother though. Zoe may also try to talk to her Guatemala mommy on the phone. She is thinking about whether she is ready for that step. Please keep this in your prayers.
If you would like to help with donations for Eagle's Nest here is what they need...
White sheets for twin beds one double set.
Crib sheets.
Pack and play sheets,
Big bibs
Glider rockers Swings (some of the ones they have are broken)
Exersaucers
Towels. Small for kids not babies.
Socks all sizes
Also dvds for children, happy not scary.Spanish or English.
And then of course clothes are always needed...preemie - size 7. girl and boy.
I will be glad to buy things for you if it is easier to donate money but you would like to help. You can also mail donations if you would rather do that. I will set up a pay pal account soon for donations to help Eagle's Nest.
HUGS! Angel
