Three years ago today-

My paper work was submitted to the adoption agency, my home adoption inspection was completed, all payments were up to date and I was anxiously waiting for my referral. On September 6, 2006 as I was sitting in church during family announcement time, a dear family friend made an announcement that her daughter (who I grew up with) had a baby boy. As I sat there I was happy for her however I was very eager and patiently waiting for my baby. I remember trying to pay attention to Sunday's message but my mind was somewhere else. Matter of fact, my mind was thousands of miles away in dream land. I was wondering what the heck is taking so long for my referral, what is he or she going to look like, healthy, smart, etc?
I was not trusting the Lord. Little did I know the Lord was working a miracle in Guatemala City. A middle age Mayan lady was giving birth to a healthy, beautiful son. The lady was faced with a major decision, to keep her son and struggle or give her son a better life in the states. I can not even imagine her feelings that day however I will always be thankful for her decision. Needless to say my sweet baby boy was born and my life has never been the same.
