The Saskatchewan couple who had to leave Haiti in the middle of an adoption process — without their son — have reunited with the boy.

Melvin and Melanie Brundage, from Nipawin, Sask., returned from Ottawa Thursday morning with the newest member of their family, 2½-year-old Mike.

"It's just awesome," Melvin Brundage said. "It's great to be home with our new son and join our family and just get started with the whole family altogether. It's just an end to quite a road, but it's the best ending you could ever imagine, for sure."

The Brundages were in Haiti making adoption arrangements when the 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck on Jan. 12. They survived the quake, as did the orphanage which was just outside of Port-au-Prince.

However, the Brundages had to leave the boy and return to Canada as their adoption arrangements could not be finished.

Then, a week ago, the family learned their adoption would be one of more than 100 cases approved for a fast-tracking process by the federal government.

On Wednesday, the Brundages were among several families who converged on the airport in Ottawa where a special flight brought more than 50 Haiti children to their adopting families in Canada.
