Seven years ago on January 12, 2002 at 5:00 PM in the evening at the Marriott Hotel Guatemala City we met our son, Brian for the first time. He was so sweet, so cute and much bigger than we expected. It was a bittersweet moment though because his foster parents and their 5 year old daughter were obviously distraught. They had taken care of him since he was 2 days old and it was obvious that they loved him dearly. Our journey to become parents was just beginning and we were so excited. We fell in love with our son immediately.
Fast forward seven years and we are so proud of our little man. He is doing well in school, is sweet and loving and a GREAT big brother to Angelica! We still keep in contact with his foster parents and they do are so proud of him.
Happy Gotcha Day to Angela Phipps as well. Brian & her were together in Guatemala and they have fun celebrating this special day together.
Happy Gotcha Day Brian...WE LOVE YOU!!

Your kids are adorable:). I love how Angelica liked the balls for Christmas!!! I hope all is well with the kiddos and we will talk soon...
I'm an adoptive mother to two children born in Guatemala. This post resonated with me because we had a similar pickup trip experience with our daughter and her foster family in January 2004. Our children are now 8 and 5. Nice blog!
