Glory to God!

We knew that when God called us to adopt that He would provide all that we needed. We trusted in Him to do that and we are amazed at how He is allowing this to happen for us. First, we had an anonymous donor from our Sunday School class donate our airfare to and from China. That totally floored us and had us leaping for joy and praising God! It also confirmed to us that God meant for Sam to be ours!!! Just a few days ago some friends phoned and told us they would like to make a donation. We are completely humbled and blessed by this generosity. We are so thankful that God put this on their hearts to give. We are so grateful and we give God all the Glory. To our anonymous guardian angel, and to Leigh Ann and John, thank you for having an open heart to hear from the Lord, and an obedient heart to be willing to give. God is so amazing!

Throughout this journey, our relationship with Jesus Christ has grown strong. We stepped out of the boat and followed God's plan. It has been uncomfortable at times, however, we knew it was God's will. We will continue to keep our eyes on Him. We are also so deeply grateful for every one's prayers. Please continue to pray for Sam's good health, for his caretakers to be patient and kind with him, for God to give peace to his birth parents, and for Sam to bond with us and form a healthy attachment to both of us. Pray that when he is put in our arms that he smiles at us and knows that we are his forever family. We also ask for you to pray that God will continue to give us all we need to go and get our son.

Dear Samuel,

You couldn't have better parents than Susan and Nick. You will be loved, cared for and taught all about Jesus. I look forward to loving you, holding you and being a part of your life. You can call me Aunt Joetta or Aunt Jo. Just like your mommy and daddy I'll always be here for you. You have so many folks waiting to meet you and just love you forever. Just wait until you taste those mashed potatoes at Sports Palace or chicken tenders at Sommers. Yummy! I'm prayng for you every day and night and just waiting to see your precious face. It won't be long until your home Bama boy. Love, Aunt Jo
