5 years ago, God confirmed his promise....Nick

Wow!  5 years ago, today, Nicholas went from being orphaned for the second time to being our sweet son!  The 6 month journey leading up to this most amazing moment in our lives was not so easy, but completely worth it.

I reflect on the past five years and remember the wonderful moments and the extremely trying moments, but each moment shared with a child placed into our home on this very day five years ago.  I remember that day, vividly, as does Nick.  Sitting outside the judge's courtroom, waiting patiently with a six year old, five days shy of being 7 years old and the feeling of joy swelling my heart.  The excitement and happiness in Nick's eyes were unforgettable, knowing that he was with his mom and dad, forever!



Nick has brought so much joy to Jon and my heart and confirmed God's calling on our lives through his adoption.  God has turned an orphan into a vessel of hope and true perseverance in God's plan over our lives.  We are so grateful for May 6th and will forever celebrate this day in our family!  The day that we aligned our hearts with God's vision for our family and the adoption of this precious kid!
