If you are planning to attend the Airport Welcome Home Party this Thursday night at the Albuquerque Sunport, you might be wondering what the Grassmicks' wishes are for when they all stumble into our hands.
When you first see them, they would like for their kids that have been here in New Mexico to greet them and have a little mini-family reunion apart from everyone else. This make take a few minutes or more. Then their Grandparents will join them and they plan to walk and join their friends. As you would imagine, they would like to look into each one of their children's eyes and hug them etc. without a big distraction. This isn't because they don't love you - they do and they do want you there. Also, don't expect to hold the babies and I know this will be hard. In time, as they adjust, we will all be able to squeeze them then.
If you haven't been personally invited, I would like to take the opportunity to do so. Not only is this Airport Welcome Home Party going to support the parents, the children, their grandparents, but it will be recorded for Elsie and Ki for when they grow up. They can see what lovingly open arms and hearts we all have for them and adoption in general.
If you would like more information and be notified of any delays, please email jasonkerri@gmail.com or call 505-231-8370. Texts are ok too.
We have made many beautiful signs and tshirts to share. Just come and celebrate the way God Moved Mountains.
Wish I could be there.
