amazing but the truly amazing part of this is....... International Adoption:
Any adoption occurring when the child and the adoptive parents are from two different countries. Extra legal work through immigration services must be done to authorize an international adoption.
Our friends have been waiting since spring of 2009 to bring home a son to join their son and daughter....the couple left 5th of September to meet the little guy, Dad came home after a couple weeks to keep home fires burning, leaving Mom to finish the process...so today this mom is bonding with her new son, taking in all the culture of his home land. This mom is missing her children here in America, the familiar surroundings of home, longing and praying that soon they can be family of 5 abiding in their rural home, helping with homework, doing chores and farm runs along with her husband.
The Miracle of Adoption: a love that goes over & beyond what most comprehend...our family is so fortunate to share the experience with family and friends who reached out to make their family complete with children & to make a child's life complete with a forever family.

You are about to make me cry too! Talk to S. for a while this morning on facebook. Hopefully soon....
You did make me cry. while I cannot see the photo, your words did make me cry.
We found out more bad news today...so I think I'm entitled to some tears, chocolate and whatever I want to drink to make it through this. Monday is a public holiday...columbus Day....so no interview on Monday. The 13th is the next day. I'm done trying to figure out when we are coming home. It's hard right now to pray that God's will be done...I want my will done and I want to be home....
Thank You so much my friend. As you said earlier...soon the labor pains will be over and It will have all been worth it.
Stacie and my "avocado" kid (what he's calling himself today :))
