And this is why we say "The Lord has done great things for us and we are filled wih joy!"
It was in the month of September, 3 years ago that we decided to commit to adoption and began the process of finding an agency. It is always mind boggling to comprehend all the things that needed to "fall into place" for Liang Xiao Yue to become Hudson Xiao Teague but we know that none of it just "fell into place". God had a plan for Liang Xiao Yue and we are so grateful it included us.
Our prayer is that Hudson will one day say "Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body will also rest secure, because you will not abandon me to the grave....You have made known me the path of life." (Ps. 16) As always, we continue to pray for his birth parents, that they too, will know HIM so we can spend eternity together!". We pray a special prayer for them today, that they feel no condemnation but have peace knowing they gave their son LIFE!

Isn't it amazing how God works like that? I had a dream just days after Caleb was born back in 2006 that we got a surprise referral for a 22 month old boy (while we were next in line for the referral for our daughter)! God was just preparing my heart then for the blessing He would bestow upon us two years later!
I'm glad you found your blessing too!

Such a wonderful story! Everytime I see him, I know I see a miracle! So glad I've been able to witness it.
It truly is amazing how our God has given us such a great gift in our sons! Happy belated birthday to Hudson! He looks a little bit more like Mark each time I see him, especially in the eyes. I love you guys.
Love you,
Lisa, Kevin and Andrew
Happy Birthday to Hudson!What an amazing celebration to have Hudson as a part of your family! Truly a gift from God. Loved all the photos. I cannot believe we will be experiencing our own miracle not too long from now! Jennifer
It is always amazing to see how God's plan is there for us and we just need to follow it. I think the same thing as we look at Andy and Katie and am amazed that it all really worked! Hudson so reminds of us Andy. God bless your wonderful family.

Hey Sharon how did you post the playlist.com thing on your blog will you walk me through it I got an account with playlist.com I made my playlist then... I tried to post the blogger code and I don't know where to post it I tried post it on the "add a gadget" page but it wouldn't let me. Would you help me?
I understand now how you found this little precious boy. Sharon, I'm speechless. Each word that you wrote is very beautiful. And it has made me know that you have such a caring heart for the forgotten and abandoned ones. Thank God, there is still someone like you.
Be blessed and blessings.
