Florence Joy

It has been a long time since our last post.  Up until a little while ago there wasn't much to tell.  We were just waiting for a call ...

Then it came.

March 19 was normal day.  Michelle ordered some baby chickens that morning.  I was at my office when I saw a number that from our agency's area code.  I left my conversation to take it.  We couldn't get Michelle on the line so I had to track her down.  She drove right over and we called back to get the information.  We agreed that we wanted to see the file so we could look over her file, her pictures and make an decision.

It took about 1/2 a second.

Once we saw the photo of this beautiful girl we knew she was our daughter.  She was smiling!  It was apparent that she had JOY.  We were awe struck by God's amazing protection of our daughter and how He had worked all things to join us together.

We managed to print some pictures and surprised both our parents in person to tell them the news.  It was great to share our joy with our family.

Our medical team reviewed everything and for the most part she looked great to them.  By the time we got some more information and VIDEO it appears that she is catching up well.  We watched the videos about 1,000 times a day those first 2 weeks.

We love this little girl who lives across the world.  We can't wait to bring her into our family so that she can join our journey thorough life.

Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
