I have recently met the family who adopted (the child) and they are so precious to me now, and I know I made the best decision for my child. I also have met that (now adult) child and their own spouse and children. God has been good to me.<br />Blessings<br />Maxinekiwimeskreationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03001838083285721377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8451858746044611975.post-57988859993486725632011-03-30T22:47:03.612-05:002011-03-30T22:47:03.612-05:00What a beautiful story.

We too have just had a very similar experience of God dropping another baby into our laps, we are starting the process again to bring home another baby from Ethiopia, the land that my first born is from. We are so amazed and humbled and so excited.
