Special Events Ahead

What’s better than…

What’s better than your adoption agency calling and saying they received your referral packet???

(Happened at 5pm! Thank you God!)

What’s better than the Fed Ex man knocking on your door to hand you your overnighted birth certificate so you can get a new passport expedited (since you lost your old one) so you can get your son home???

(Happened at 6pm! Thank you God!)

What’s better than 15 of your best girlfriends showing up on your front porch with balloons, appetizzers, loads of gifts…and giving you a SURPRISE baby shower???

(Happened at 7:30pm! Thank you God!)

What’s better than your caseworker emphasizing all the unknowns about your baby…asking if you still want to move forward—and getting to say “YES! He is MY son! We are in for the long haul and we will always be his biggest cheerleaders in life!”???

What is better than ALL of this day full of AMAZING and humbling blessings?Hearing from Almaz, the orphanage director, that when she sees his face, she see God’s power and grace and mercy through Isaac.

That my friends…it doesn’t get better than that!

And that friends—IS MY SON!

    Okay, this one is even “feel gooder” than the last one. Hearing what Almaz says about Isaac brought me tears. He sounds like such a special boy.

    AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Almaz is just an angel on earth, and knows heaven on earth when she sees it! She wrote some very powerful words about our Hannah Grace when she was at HH. Will never forget it. Because to soo many Hannah was a child with needs- to Almaz and to us- she was an angel sent to earth for our hearts to hold!

    I am in tears after reading that. What great friends to give you a surprise party! And the great love the Lord has given you for Isaac is truly amazing! I just pray I have this kind of love for our adopted child when God reveals who he or she is. Do you still want him, she asks, well, He is my son! Beautiful!! Just Beautiful!! Praying that is doing well and you get to him fast!!

    And your shower was just precious! What a sweet group of friends!
