In Guatemala

For anyone who is wondering where I´ve been lately, I´m in Guatemala with Mateo and my sister, Patrice. We´ve been here the past week, after our visit to San Diego.

At the moment, I have limited computer access, which is why I´ve been posting less than usual. But we´re having a great time!

Also, traveling with a very active six year old boy (I know that construction requires hyphens, but I can´t find them on the keyboard) leaves little time for writing, or doing much else except having fun.

But this week we visited Common Hope, an outstanding organization we support that I will write about when I return home, and met with my good friend, Leceta Chisholm Guibault, founder of Service Trips with Leceta (which I will also write about), and her gorgeous daughter, Kahleah.

I´m on one of the two computers in our hotel, in the nook next to the breakfast room where a lovely group of travelers is speaking German.

¡Hasta pronto!

    Dear Ben, So happy to meet you. I can only hope our son becomes the fine young man that you are. Will be in touch about any adoption connections I can find in NYC. Best of luck on your upcoming wedding!

    Love your blog, and am planning on picking up your book! Another book (perhaps you’ve read it) about adoption from Guatemala is Jennifer Grant’s new book “Love You More.” it’s a great memoir, any parent, adoptive or not, would enjoy it. I also recommend her blog at http://www.jennifergrant.com for more on adoption.

    Thanks so much, Keri Lynn. I’m pleased to say I read and enjoyed Jennifer’s book–so much that I wrote an endorsement for it!

    Thanks again~
