A note from Scott:

Morning arrives once again in Pittsburgh PA. Kristin and Nathaniel are being rushed off in a limo to be on the Today Show this morning. Kristin is determined to take every opportunity with the press to plead for the plight of the Orphan. Several reporters told her she was better than some of them. I think God is using her in amazing ways. A person that normally wouldn't even want to be in a large crowd now holds a press conference with the Red Cross and goes live on the TodayShow. Nathaniel is her partner in this journey, as he has never struggled to perform. He stands by her side, encouraging, holding her up, and furthering the mission.
Victoria, Grant and I, all stay behind at the hospital hoping for a moment to see the girls, or hear word of the paperwork progress. We now even have a copier supplied by the hospital in order to allow us to make copies of the same documents that have been mailed, and emailed so many times I have lost count.

Unfortunately Victoria and Grant headed for Lincoln at 5am this morning. School calls, and we have no idea how long this process may take. Victoria was the person that started this process for the family, and she really wanted to be a part of the ending, when the girls finally finish their journey and make it home.

Yesterday we were allowed, and I emphasize allowed, to see our children for 10 minutes. It was a supervised visit, no cameras allowed. Hard to comprehend why workers that have probably never completed a home study, or been fingerprinted by the Dept. of Homeland Security, are able to be with our children the entire day, and we get 10 minutes.

The Girls look good, and other than minor ailments with Dieunette, are in good spirits.

We are so grateful that they are out of the ravages of Haiti, and safe in the US, but heart breaking for Kristin to hold them for a few minutes and be required to leave. These kids have been left all their lives, the last thing they need is the struggle to understand why we are here in the hospital, but not with them.

God Willing Today is our day.
Psalm 82:3 "defend the cause of the weak and fatherless"

Thanks for being a part of this journey,
The Heaton's
