What draws me...Part 1

For me, the pull to Central America came about four years ago while Mike and I were in the throws of adopting two boys from Guatemala. Due to our schedules, we were afforded the luxury to visit Guatemala and the boys ½ dozen times within the ten month process! It is during these times when my spirit was filled up through the connections with the local people, the strong value of family, the generosity of a wonderful foster family and the gentleness of the people. I felt a calm and assuredness that I had not felt prior and a need to know and 'do' more. I am also very passionate about our family becoming fluent in Spanish and realized that immersion was the way to go.

Signed S,
more to come...
