There are several families from our church adopting from the same African country we have/are and we had a little get together yesterday. My good friend, running buddy, and key adoption resource, Jen (and her husband Jason) hosted and shared some insights they'd learned from an adoption conference. We also watched a video from Empowered To Connect. It was super good and led to some good discussion about adopting children from hard places.
Then, today I got a new post by Katie from Amazima Ministries in my RSS feed. SOOOO GOOOD and totally hit home based on our discussion yesterday and thoughts that I have regularly about our two sons. Though there is so much we don't and can't know about their past, there is comfort in knowing God has been with them through it all, and He brought them to us.
On another note, Gibson's visa was finally approved!!! Still waiting on travel info but so thankful and relieved to hear this good news. Thanks to all of you for praying! Looking forward to having our family of four under one roof!
