John talked to his brother today about our little guy, he's been trying to figure out how to break the news. hehe I know that his SIL is very happy and excited. I was pretty sure they'd say we're NUTS! Of course, we are! LOL
We had a little get together with some of my family tonight to celebrate Mom's Birthday. The conversation turned to Timothy (of course!). My sister said that she didn’t understand why we didn’t adopt a child from here; there are hundreds of kids that need a family right in our own country. I didn’t even hesitate; I told her that I didn’t go looking to find a little one to adopt. I never would have thought about it in this phase of our lives. It was much different. I saw his picture, and I couldn’t get him out of my head, and my heart. I have looked at countless photos of precious little angels with special needs and without, and I come right back to him. There are a million doubts, and a million and one reasons why it is crazy. But, there is one reason why we should, and why we are… because God drew me to him. God put that little boy in my heart. He knew even before anyone that we would be on this journey. As I look at what we’ve done, and the things that He did to get us to this moment, I cannot doubt that it is His hand guiding us. Even people who didn’t know how much of an impact that they would have(Maria!!) have had a huge role in His plan for our family, and our precious little boy. He truly is the child of my heart.
Someday I hope to introduce him to some of you in person who have played such an important part in bringing him home. I’m sure the list will be very long! Maybe we could have a big RR meeting!!
