SADNESS & GLADNESS

ADOPTION IS HARD!!

We found out over the weekend that little boy adopted a few months ago passed away.  He had no disease or chronic illness.  He died from the effects of months and months and months of neglect.  He was neglected in an orphanage and his little body could not fight it any more.  He lived to have a family.  The one thing that every orphan child wants he got before he died.  His family brought him home with great hopes but even our medical care could not erase the toll of neglect on his precious body.  As a family we read this story and we prayed for our boys.  There is no promises in adoption.  You have no guarantees and it is hard and it hurts and it is painful to imagine after all you have been through to get your baby home that you still may loose your child. Unfortunately, it is reality.  We know very little about either of our boys health. We definitely know less about John than Luke.  John has a huge list of unknowns, but he is our son and we are bringing him home. Please keep this family that has lost a son they longed for and loved in your thoughts in prayers.  We do not know God's reasons, but we know He has a purpose in all things.  

We have joy in our hearts this day.  We are 10 steps closer to our boys and 11 steps away.  Please know that we feel your prayers and appreciate them each and every day.  We are getting closer to bringing them home.  Know that when we announce LOA we will be busting out the photos.  We can not wait to have you all see our beautiful boys!  Can you tell we only have girls?  It should say Handsome boys!  Right?

Blessings,
