Frankie’s Homecoming

January 25, 2010 | Filed Under Uncategorized 

Dave and Kim Rhodes began the process of adopting Frankie from Haiti in July 2008 with the hopes of being able to bring him home sometime in the Fall 2010. As everyone knows Haiti was devastated by recent earthquakes. This created a need to expedite as many adoptions as possible in order to create room for those orphaned by the earthquake, so Dave and Kim traveled to Haiti last week in hopes of being able to bring Frankie home early. This past Saturday, I had the privilege of witnessing and documenting Frankie’s homecoming. It was an emotional experience to say the least. I did my best to capture these beautiful moments while fighting back the tears welling up in my eyes. It was such an amazing experience. Here are some photos from the homecoming. You can go here to see the story which aired on ABC World News Sunday Night. Also be sure to check out the entire journey on the Rhodes’ blog.

Welcome home Frankie!
