Hi Isaac. I've loved reading your blog. I think it is pretty cool that your parents are letting you do something like this. You owe them, bigtime for being such cool parents. Here's my question for you: I have been in the process of adopting Emilee for a long long time now and she is FINALLY going to be coming home this fall, when she will also be turning 5 years old. Can you tell me having been adopted and being Haitian just like her, what are some of the important things that I need to remember when she comes home to live with me? What will help her adjust a little bit easier and what kind of things should I not forget about in the chaos of it all? I am REALLY excited to bring her home, but I understand that it will be really hard for her to leave all of her friends and Haiti and all that she knows and move to a different life. Thanks for answering and keep on writing!

Shelly :)
