11.16.15

Today hold such significance on 11.16.15 I was browsing facebook and a post from our agency popped into my newsfeed about accepting applications for Haiti "A Love Beyond Borders has immediate openings in our Haiti program for families open to healthy siblings of 2 ages 0-7 as well as specific special needs children we are advocating for".

I honestly had forgotten about "liking" the agency 's facebook page and clicked and began scrolling through the most recent posts. A post from 9.8.15 about a little BOY caught my attention, described "This little guy is one of the sweet kiddo's currently waiting for his forever family. Please consider this little one. If you are not in the position to adopt please share! He needs and deserves a family!"

I froze, instantly I knew this was the child our agency director had previously asked me to pray for. I prayed for a family for this sweet boy. My heart knew , I will never forget that moment, my heart beating out of my chest, palms sweaty, he took my breath away.

Holding my breath I immediately asked if a forever family had found him, (cause in the special need world of China adoptions children are scooped up so fast and this post was over two months old, surely he had a family). We never considered his special needs, and honestly I was loving being a "Girl Mama" so was secretly hoping for another girl. But when I looked into his eyes it was if I just knew I was his Mama. It actually took 3 weeks to confirm what I already knew in my heart... that I had a son.
