Today, we got our Christmas miracle - we get to adopt our precious baby boy on December 22 - that is THIS Thursday! We are so happy and excited. We could feel our friends prayers today as we traveled safely and in good time to get our paperwork, and we got it filed at the court house with basically no glitches. We are for sure headed to the court house on Thursday at 1:15 to add another baby boy to our forever family. And that, my friends, is the greatest Christmas miracle in our lives currently.
We are also seeing great changes in our little girl. She is learning to play, starting to laugh, and generally seeming to feel better about her life as she knows it now. That, in itself, is in fact a miracle, speaking of miracles. This has been a transformation to watch, and not really an easy one. But it is definitely wonderful to watch her grow and blossom, to learn and grow, to begin saying more words, to learn to be helpful, and enjoy life and her family.
God has been good to us - we have children forever - ones we never thought we would have. We are anticipating Christmas as a family of five, and yes, my shopping is completed. We have loving family and great friends, and this year we can tell all three of children about the baby who came in a manger who ended up Saving us all. That is a precious gift.
