Nan Nan

I have been catching up on blogs as returning back to life in Texas has gotten me behind. I have seen this video on two different blogs, one from a family that is in China right now bringing home their daughter. I don't typically watch video's but the second time I saw this posted I thought it must be good. As it was nearing the end Hudson crawled up in my lap and hugged my neck so tight and then planted one of his lingering kisses on my cheek. At the same moment a precious little cleft palate child popped up on the screen. Oh, for ANYONE who even has had a moment of thinking about adopting from the Waiting Child program I wish you could have felt what I did at that very instant. I don't even know how I would put it into words to capture all I felt in that moment....the best I can do is say what a humbling honor it is to call Hudson my son, to love him and to be loved by him. What we would have missed out on had we not gone with the Waiting Child program brought tears and if we should be blessed enough to adopt again the Waiting Child program would be the only way to go for us.
In light of that I wanted to post the following picture of a precious little girl who will be two in Oct. Her name is Nan Nan and she has spina bifida although she can walk and is continent. She needs the second part of a crucial surgery and there is a foster family in China who contacted me asking if I could help in finding her a home. I do have an email from her foster mom, Rachel, that gives more information about her and she also has more pictures and videos she is willing to share if anyone is interested. I can't get her out of my head and SO wish we were at a place to move forward but we know right now is not our time.
Please watch the video if you have not already seen it. Many of you have adopted special needs kids and I know you will be blessed like I was. If anyone wants more info on Nan Nan let me know. Please pray that she will find her forever family soon!
