The last couple of weeks have been a roller coaster of emotions. A dear friend of mine from high school began the adopition process for the 2nd time last summer and God very quickly put a beautiful little girl in their path, Anna Gray. There have been several set backs and God has moved some major mountains over the last couple of months that led to today. They were finally able to meet their daughter, and what a beautiful daughter she is. She has an extra chromosome which makes her extra special and a head full of blonde hair that was initially in the form of a mohawk and a dark shade of black. God made her unique and special and I know she will be loved by the family God picked out for her in the form
of the West's.
The one thing that I've grown to admire about Amber is her faith in God. We had talked about adoption since they had also adopted Brynn & Cale but we really started talking when they decided to begin the process again. If you read Amber's blog you'll find that she has put all of this in his hand's. The timing has been on God's. Though she may not know it, she's given me the strength to be patient. Being single, there are somethings that I want to do like get my car paid off as well as a few other things so that when I do welcome a child into my future home I'll be debt free and a lack of vacation or sick days wont keep me from choosing to spend a day at home. Not to mention, there is a possiblity that God is going to put a spouse in my pathway that would only make life more complete. The one thing I do know is that if God has a child ready in 6 months for me then he'll make mountains move for that to happen or it could be a year or two down the road. Either way I'll be waiting and sharing in the joys of other babies and children making it to their forever homes!
Welcome to your forever family Anna Gray! Welcome Home!
