Epilogue


For the full story, you can start at Part One, or just read the letter to Matt and Lisa where we unveiled the surprise.  This is the beautiful epilogue, directly from the Maxfields...
Dear Friends, 
WE ARE HOME!!! 
We landed back in the U.S. on July 22nd.  We had a rough go in Africa and on the way home.  Caden was pretty sick with respiratory issues and an ear infection. The 34 hours of travel with the kids strapped to our bodies were not fun to say the least, BUT we made it safe and sound!  
We have spent the last month laying low and adjusting to our new normal.  Caden is transitioning so well! He is the best lil’ baby ever!  He eats GREAT. Sleeps GREAT. He laughs and smiles All. The. Time! We feel SO blessed. And that is in HUGE part thanks to YOU!!!!!  
I still can’t believe what Jeff and Emily did for us by setting up this secret blog! What awesome friends. What a huge blessing.  What an amazing heart for the orphan.  We couldn’t have done it without your love and support.  You helped us reach our goal and YOU got our son home for good!  
We wanted to say THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts!!!  That doesn’t even seem like enough but we truly mean it.  Caden has a bright future ahead of him now.  May God bless each and every one of you.  Some of you friends, some of you we have never even met!  But you are all a part of His story.  And we are forever grateful. 
Love,
Matt, Lisa, Koral and Caden Maxfield
