Current events

I'm a little worried about the political situation in Colombia right now. Hugo Chavez (Venezuela) and Ecuador seem to be having some big controversy with the Colombian government, and things look pretty hostile. I saw one article referencing "dirty bombs," which is obviously quite disturbing.

I don't think any of that will affect our summer hosting plans, unless the Colombian government decides not to allow the children out of the country. Just because we are hosting does not mean we are adopting, regardless of our hope to adopt a child. We know full well that we may not choose to adopt the Invisible Kid, we may not choose to adopt any kid. This isn't about our hope to adopt, this is about our hope to help a child for the rest of her life. We would like to adopt, but there's a lot to figure out before we decide to pursue another adoption right now.

Please keep the children of Colombia (and all the citizens of all war-torn countries) in your thoughts and prayers.
