Meet the New Jones Kids!

Meet the newest members of our family!
Ivan Daniel is 8, loves the chance to go to school and wants to be a great doctor when he grows up. He is really good at math and loves dance.
Daniela Andrea is 6, wakes every day at 6AM and bathes and dresses herself for school. She is known for always being in a good mood and is extroverted. She doesn't really care for vegetables in salad.(she'll fit right in with the rest of the Jones kids).
Angy Tatiana is almost 4. She is intelligent, active, happy, helpful, affectionate, sweet and sociable. She is very active and loves running, jumping, playing and marching.

Our children are coming from the streets of Cali where they were not being given a proper home. Ivan, Daniela and Angy were taken off the streets by the local government and placed in foster care to provide education, food and safety for them. Their mother initially protested...but later when faced with making changes to provide a dignified home and basic welfare for her kids, abandoned these three adorable children to the system. The children express desire for a loving family and a chance for an education.

We are now preparing for departure to Colombia on October 14th. We (Bill, Shirlene and Melissa) will meet our children on the 15th and take immediate custody of them. Bill will be staying for about 3 weeks in order to complete the paper work which will allows him to leave. Shirlene and Melissa will spend the remainder, of about 4-6 weeks, getting to know our new children while waiting for the paperwork to be completed. They all will be in Cali part of the time and part in Bogota. If all goes well, all should be home just before Thanksgiving.
