What an incredible testimony to God's faithfulness! After a four year struggle with infertility and a failed adoption, God blessed us with a son in July of 2006. We know that God placed the seed of adoption in our hearts for a reason and still plan to adopt. Your story is so beautiful! I've added you to my list of favorite blogs on our site. I hope to contiue to read about your journey with your little miracle and rejoice with you!theglenns556https://www.blogger.com/profile/01105361107244657108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14912662.post-11924782352247953312007-09-14T15:31:00.000-05:002007-09-14T15:31:00.000-05:00Lands,Well-put.

I go back once more with red eyes from the tears shed over this last Blog entry....and all of my co-workers wondering "What's Wrong"....and I will tell them....it's all alright. Long ago I prayed for just one more child and God gave me you and then another son....WOW. And then I started praying immediately for the one that God would bring to complete your life and he brought you a most wonderful wife....Abbey and an extended family who loves you..WOW! And then came sweet babies LAND number one and number two...and though we never got to see them..through them we learned of the love of God...and we see Mimi,Bemaw and Abbey's grandmother rocking them in Heaven waiting for the day when they will be reunited with their family... AND GOD was still everpresent and loving our family....because in all of HIS goodness HE has allowed this wonderful family in Taiwan to make a most sacrificial gift, knowing that their baby boy will be in good hands. BABY REED.. I am already soooo in love with that precious baby and I cannot wait until in the morning when I get to see him. We are driving straight to the airport from here tonight and we will campout at the gate waiting for our family to get off of the plane. I cannot wait to see all of you. I cannot wait to get my one kiss with such a precious baby. AND I cannot wait to see you and Abbey. Daddy and I love all of you sooo much. Love, MOMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
