I have been very blessed by the blogging community for many reasons of which I will not go into detail right now, but I do want to write about one very BIG reason. Connections! That's right, if it weren't for other families sharing their adoption journeys on the world wide web, I would not be at this very moment looking at multiple photos of our girls in their home in the Philippines.
In this post, I told about the joy of Brian and Renee receiving a referral after 29.5 months of waiting. Well, Brian and Renee's adorable little boy is in the same orphanage as our daughters!!! Not only that, but Jenifer and Andrey brought home their beautiful girl from the same orphanage just seven (correct me if I'm wrong, Jen) weeks ago! Jenifer and Andrey sent both Brian and Renee, and the Engineer and I photos of our children. They all look happy and healthy! What a special gift for all of our families! How blessed we are for our children to have these connections.
Now Brian, Renee, the Engineer and I await to see if our travel times match up and we will get to meet in person. Canada is a BIG country, so NL and ON are a loooong ways away from each other. How funny to think that we could actually meet half a world away!
Amazing! The Lord is awesome, isn't He?
ReplyDeleteOh that's great!!! I knew Jenifer had pics for Renee. I didn't know she had pics of your girls as well! What a precious gift to spur you on, as you endure this part of the wait!!! Yay for WWW!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is truly a beautiful gift, Deborah! I continue to pray for them as they are still waiting to be held in your secure and loving arms.
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you and yours!
