Carmen Lynne says she got the first good sleep she's had in weeks after her two adopted children from Haiti arrived home to Spruce Grove. (CBC)A Spruce Grove family has all seven children under one roof after two adopted youngsters, airlifted from Haiti, arrived to their new home.

"The day before the earthquake I received an email saying that we were at the final stage of the adoption process," said Carmen Lynne, who with her husband Steve began the adoption process for Jael, 9, and Johnny, 6, almost three years ago.

"They had said we could begin to prepare, to look for flight tickets and it would be approximately two weeks just for their passports to be issued and they would be coming home."

Then the earthquake struck.

"First of all, I wondered, are they even alive? And then I thought, if they are, how am I going to get them out?" said Lynne.

She later learned the orphanage was damaged in the quake, and the children moved outside, where they went for days without food or water — but they were safe.

Jael, right, and Johnny arrived in Edmonton Friday to join their adoptive family from Spruce Grove. (CBC)Last week, children from the orphanage were flown to Pittsburgh, but Lynne still had no idea if Jael and Johnny were among those rescued.

"I saw some footage on the news, and I saw my daughter walk off that plane," said Lynne. "I started phoning people and emailing like crazy and I was getting the response back of 'we don't even know who's on there, we can't confirm she's there yet'."

Lynne got her confirmation on Thursday and flew with her parents to the hospital in Pittsburgh where the children were being checked out. Jael and Johnny passed "with flying colours" she said.

The children finally made it home to Spruce Grove on Friday, where they joined their five brothers and sisters - three of whom were also adopted from Haiti.

"I slept well last night, for the first time in about two weeks," Lynne told CBC News on Sunday.
