It has taken me longer than I had hoped to post this because of technical problems but gotcha day has come and gone and we couldn't be any happier. There really aren't words to describe this day, but this is a blog so I will try. I've said this many times now but if everyone could experience for just a moment the feeling that comes from adopting a child, there would be no orphans in the world. Trust me, there is nothing like it. Ask another adoptive parent, and they will agree. Gotcha day is the culmination of months of paperwork, months of anticipation, hours of travel, and lots and lots of prayer. It's worth every bit of the effort.
As we prepared for Gotcha Day, there were so many signs that God's hands were all over it. Some people would call the signs coincidence, but there is no doubt that God was with us and our travel mates every step of the way. He has blessed us with another precious son, and we are thrilled that He has entrusted us with another of His children.
Here are the pics. I've included some of Rebecca and Janie enjoying the trip and of Walmart for those of you who have asked..
Jason and Laura, Im so happy for both of you and your beautiful children. GOD has blessed all of you.Prayers for a safe trip home and many precious memories.
ReplyDeleteYou and your family are in our prayers daily. There is no greater gift that God can give us than the opportunity to be a good husband and father and the wisdom to rear our gifts to accept the same gifts. I pray that you and Lauren have the strength and health to see the fruits of your labors bear fruit.
