October 9.....the call that changed our lives....

Two years ago yesterday, October 9, we saw this face for the very first time. We are OVERWHELMED still at the fact that this boy is ours. Throughout our adoption process we would hear time and time again how God orchestrates every detail and the child who is placed in your family just "fits"....and yes, we can testify to this. One of the things we prayed for was our child would be so loving and affectionate. Hudson oozes love. His first words in the morning with his arms wrapped around my neck are "I miss you"..... we think he confuses "I love you" and "I miss you"....but we will take either one...taking an "I miss you" for every day we did not have him from Sept. 13, 2005 (his b'day) to March 30, 2008 (gotcha). His affection and sweet words continue throughout each day and it doesn't matter if we have been gone 30 minutes our 3 hours he always welcomes us home with a full on run towards us and huge hugs.

For anyone reading this still in the waiting stage...hang on....God is preparing that perfect fit for your family and the wait is so worth it. I do not say that lightly as the wait is so very, very hard but know that while we are waiting, God is working. He holds both your child and your family in His sight and you will be amazed at how perfectly you will fit together.
