Back at the good OLE MARRIOTT...with a few OLD FRIENDS and Getting to meet a new friend and a little boy I will never forget MR. ROBBIE


Sand Carpet at the Marriott



Me HUGGING the SWEETEST BOY PLEASE PRAY THIS LITTLE MAN HOME


Meeting Robbie and his foster Mom for the first time


Tammy you are ONE LUCKY MOMMA


MISS LYDIA...who was our housekeeper ....but more than that one of my Best Friends in Guatemala. She is now a HK Manager...WOOOHOOO
I can't wait for Miss Lydia to get to see Kya again
One CUTE little Greek Guatemalan
The FAMOUS EDNA from Corey's Blog....Ok LOVE THIS GIRL. She was such a huge help with Jagger while we ate dinner and looked over DATELINE Documents. She pushed Jagger around La Vista so I could eat my dinner. What a BEAUTIFUL GIRL!
Teo....Eating with him in La Vista really brought back the OLD DAYS. He was a good friend to me while I fostered Miss Kya last year. I hope you all saw that there was a lot of EDITING on that dateline interview. I am not saying he or anyone else is perfect but I am saying that there are two sides to every story.


DAD I LOVE THIS PICTURE

Hi Candy,

I don't mean to pry, but how does Teo legally process adoption cases when he was banned in 2005 by the US embassy? Was the ban lifted? I'd be curious to read what you have to say vs Dateline's story. Merrill

I found your blog and LOVE it! We were just at the Marriott and are planning our next visit. Your children are beautiful! I can't wait to be holding our little daughter. We are in the same boat. Got KO 2nd week of Jan. for no PA. We have had it since 12/21. So, we sit and wait. Our blog is http://harrisquest.blogspot.com if you'd like to see our pretty girl and the rest of the gang. I will stay updated as I love your blog. Cheri

What is a BANNDED BABY BROKER doing on your website, smiling?

He is a human trafficker. Surely you can't be so desperate to buy - I mean adopt - a baby from somebody who steals them from biological first families.

Teo the Piece Of Shit has HURT OTHER FAMILIES who gave their money to him.

WHY DO YOU USE HIM?
WHY ARE YOU BRAGGING ON IT?
WHY ARE YOU FURTHERING THE BABY BROKERING WITH YOUR MONEY AND YOUR GOTTA GET ME A Baybeeeee at all costs American attitude?

Unlike Merrill, I'm prying & I'm asking & I'm DISGUSTED.

I'm aware that there are two sides to this story. I also have Teo's response to my claims in the Dateline piece, and the only thing I can say is that he lied 100% in his response to me. I won't post his response, but I would be glad to share it privately with anyone who is interested in hearing his defense. If you're familiar at all with my experience (and YES, I blame my agency IN ADDITION to Teo; I blame them for what happened to ME and I blame him for what happened to Ingrid and her bfamily), you'll easily see how Teo's response to my claims was ALL a lie.

I'm truly glad he helped you and helped other people. The most important thing is that babies find safe and loving homes. However, that does NOT give him the right to pick families like he did with Ingrid and her bsister. (And I'd LOVE to find out why the embassy still lists him as banned if he's no longer banned?)

Minnie said...

Hey girl, since you have 3 blogs, I am tagging you on the other 2!!!

Minnie said...

Hey anonymous, you are definetly bold enough to pry, but not bold enough to leave your name so that IF Candy wanted to tell you why he is on her SMILING, she could. This is CANDY's blog and if you do not like seeing the people on Her blog... don't look.

jkay said...

I agree Minnie, you tell em... Also, I would just like to say that Americans who adopt from Guatemala, do not want to be involved in stealing babies at all costs!!! Candy's attitude is about giving a home to children who need a home and loving them with everything that is within her. That just goes to show how unfamiliar you are with Guatemala Adoptive Americans! Anyone who has been to Guatemala has seen the poverty and the orphans and knows that Guatemala people think that coming to America is like heaven on earth. Thank God there are so many wonderful people like Candy who have a heart for these children. Its unfortunate that so many Americans think that adopting from Guat is so wrong considering how many children there go hungry and abandoned and lonely!
