Back in January, Dana and I made plans to meet for lunch. I had some things that we had purchased in Ethipioa & I wanted to give to her. She already had one Ethipian son and they were in the process to adopt again. I figured her kids would probably appreciate the items from their country of birth. We talked about some of the trials James and I had faced and what it had been like switching to our agency's domestic adoption program. Then she told me she had some news. . .and pulled out some photos of a boy that they had accepted a referral for. I recognized him from the waiting child list. I had prayed for the kids on that list, and I know God heard. I teared up, so thankful that this child would soon be coming to his new home. That was on January 28th, little did I know that in one week I would be holding my own son in my arms. Dana was the first person I called after we found out that we had been chosen to be Samuel's parents.
Finally home, after months of waiting and a very long trip!
New brothers!
Oh, my goodness, this brought tears my eyes. What a blessed little boy and family.
ReplyDeleteWhat rich blessing God give to His children. Praying for Solomon, Joseph, and entire family as Solomon settles into his family and learns to speak English. Praise God from whom ALL blessings flow!
