For two hours today, Brian and I joined Lauryn, Cecelia's birthmother, and Beverly, Lauryn's mom, in their hospital room. We will cherish the precious time that we had with Cecelia's birthfamily. Adoption is a beautiful, yet beyond what I ever thought I could handle, process. We are only one day into the journey, and we would have it no other way!
What a beautiful family picture!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful beginning to your journey into parenthood. May God's hand be upon each day to come and may you look to Him to guide your lives. We are so excited for you!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this story with us. Can't wait to see her in person. You will cherish these moments and speak of them for years to come. God chose you to be her parents even before she was born. This photo reminds us that on Dec. 7th, 15 years ago we met our 5 day old daughter, Mari, for the first time. Enjoy these precious days as you receive this beautiful life into your family.
ReplyDeleteJust amazing! I have tears in my eyes. I am thinking of Eph. 3:20-21, "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen." Yeah God!
