Watching this sweet boy grow up in pictures as we waited for endless approvals, the next court date, court orders to be sent...the waiting, waiting, waiting was agonizing. Not knowing when we would be on our way to India to finally meet and bring our boy home was terribly difficult. My heart longed to just hold him and tell him I was his Mama and he had a family that loved him.
But God has been glorified in all of this. He saw us through it all and gifted us with this amazing little boy who in just two days has learned to say Thank You and I Love You, complete with more hugs and kisses than I have ever received.
Thank you, God, for this precious blessing. Looking forward to all the love we will receive in 2014.
ps still working on the big blog post for his story.
That part was so hard I'm sure--seeing that much growth only through pictures. It's hard to look back on pictures of my bio kids and miss that time...I'm sure those pictures you have of Ryan are so bittersweet. Soooo happy that 2013 ended in such a beautiful way!
