9 Months Home (a few days late - sorry!)


This is the first pic I ever took of my sweet son. This is the therapy room at his orphanage. I can still feel that amazing and overwhelming feeling I felt at this moment. We had traveled across the globe in search of a child. We were now face-to-face with a child we knew nothing about and never knew existed until this moment. And yet I was madly in love with him within an instance!
But were we crazy? What were we really doing? How do I know this is right? Will he love us and want to come with us? Are we the right parents for a special need?
What was I thinking! God carried us to our son and prepared him perfectly for our family! Folks often say how lucky Garrett is that we "rescued" him from the orphanage. It is really us that are lucky as Garrett has been our perfect gift from God!
