Ellie

Today was a very sad day as I learned that we will not get the chance to meet our little niece Ellie from Haiti. She passed away Sunday due to a sudden illness. Our hearts go out to the Gordon's, as we know how much love they already had for this beautiful little girl.
Michelle and Scott were able to spend a week in January with Ellie. They formed an instant bond with her, but through the long adoption process they could not bring her home. Michelle was excited to go back in June for a second visit still not knowing when they would be able to bring her home. What heartbreaking news to excitingly open a new e-mail from the adoption agency only to be told the devastating news. I am so sorry. I know there are no words for the grief you must be feeling.
