Oh dear, the HOURS this woman puts in to get these children to their families! Have you seen her In-Box or "To-Do" list? It is absolutely unreal. And this is on top of caring for her own family! She has taken on a true servant's heart.

She saw a need and is one of the very few people on this earth who chose to take action rather then let it be someone else's problem.

I too am grateful for her example and for her giving me the opportunity to be a part of something that is truly amazing.

I love you sister!

A true blessing!!! Thanks for working hard to get our kids home. Thanks for all the hours you put in. Thanks for sharing with us what to expect when they get home. Thanks for calling, emailing, sending pictures, etc. The list goes on. You are amazing. Praying God continues to bless your ministry to these wonderful children of His.

There's really nothing I can add to all the wonderful, true things that have been said here. We're so grateful for the tremendous efforts Gretchen puts forth each day on behalf of all us adoptive parents. As my husband would say, "Gretchen rocks!"

And.... You-You, I haven't met you and I don't know your story, but I can see your love for these kids in photographs and in things you write. I am so glad glad the children have someone like you to love on them in such a Christlike manner. I so miss my boys I've never met, but I'm happier knowing they are being well cared for by people who love Christ.

I was so happy to see this post today! Woman... you totally do not get enough credit!!! You take on not only the job of getting our kids home... but even helping with the school and clinic AND you LOVE LOVE LOVE the people involved... especially the children, and take things on emotionally and spiritually. I am honestly inspired by you! To have faith to go into such a dangerous area and pierce the darkness. Thank you for the emotion and realness you put to all of it! This is not a cute little club, or something fun you thought you'd do... this is real life for Haiti and you want to help! On behalf of the hundreds of patients who can feel better, the hundreds of school kids who will have a chance in life, and the hundreds of orphans who will and do have loving Christian homes...uh... LET ALONE salvation, we all say thank you!!! Sure WE are all thankful, but the hurting nation of Haiti thanks you even more! God is so proud of you his daughter!

Oh Angela....thank you for your amazing support. I feel like you are left to deal with so many of the real problems and the truly tough stuff on the frontlines. I am so grateful to the Lord for you! And it is a true blessing to me that not only do we have you to directly serve these children of God, but I also got an amazing friend out of the deal. Thank you, our dear Lord!

To my wonderful friends and our families--thank you. I know that we should only be doing this to please the Lord, but the support and love of those around you sure does sweeten the deal. Thank you!
