"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world."

Beautiful Dania, Beautiful Catrina
I have no words only tears of joy as I watch this video. I am so grateful for God providing for Catrina and Nate and I am humbled to know people like them and I am so so so happy for them. Please remember them as they will continue to have may opportunities to share how they follow God's calling of James 1:27:

Haiti Orphan Update: GO GOD!
THE BEST NEWS EVER: the orphans in Haiti have all been air-lifted out and are now in Pittsburgh!!! Catrina and her husband went there last night and will be united with their adoptive daughter today!!
Through disaster there is blessing. I am so grateful for His hand in this. I can't imagine the emotions and the whirlwind of thoughts for my friend. Thank you for your prayers.
I do not believe God caused the earthquake in order for Catrina to get her daughter sooner, but I do believe "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." (Romans 8:28)
And I also believe that Catrina's circumstance is one of the countless ways in which God, in His great kindness and mercy and compassion and love uses this disaster to bless. He gives and takes away. Sometimes the ways He choses both to give and take away are never the way we would plan.
Danny just called to tell me he heard Haiti has just experienced another earthquake. I'm speechless.
The general and the detail. Our detail prayers now are for Catrina's daughter, recovering, adjusting, etc. Our general prayer must continue to be for Haiti and all the nameless people that we will never know.

Give. NOW
You are not in Haiti. Thank God. I cannot imagine. Please don't take the time to think it over, just take the time to give through your church, the American Red Cross, whatever. I don't think as believers in Christ you need to pray about it.
My friend Catrina is in the process (going on 4 years now) of adopting her daughter from a Haitian orphanage in the area of the earthquake. Praise, praise, praise God she got news that her daughter is alive and safe and the orphanage seems to be in tact. The damage is considerable and you don't need news reports to know they are desperate for water, food, and other humanitarian aid. Here are links to organizations you can donate to:
Answered Prayers (this is the adoption organization Catrina works with)
GAin (A Campus Crusuade for Christ organization)
The American Red Cross
