The Smile That Melted Our Heart

 

 

We didn't know what to expect once we arrived in Guatemala but we were pleasantly surprised. The people and culture are wonderful....but best of all was the smile on Jacob's face!! We have been blessed with two WONDERFUL boys! A smile goes a long way...

Heartsent Visits Jacob

One of the workers from our adoption agency recently returned from a visit to Guatemala. She was able to meet up with Jacob and his foster mother. We're very jealous, but thankfully she brought back some great pictures! Here are some of our favorites.
