Baby J

We had the joy of fostering this little sweetie for 2 weeks in July, it helped to pass the time while we waited for our travel approval from China.

We were given the honor of taking him to meet his forever Mom and Dad, and his birth Mom (she is a wonderful woman).

God's hand

* In October '05 while we waited for Y's referral from China, I went to the New Day website and prayed that each of the children would find their forever family.

* This past October (06) I read a post on the waiting child China list about a 3 year old boy that needed a family, he was listed with WACAP. When we received his information I knew he was our son but DH needed more time, he couldn't see how we could afford another adoption and we don't have the space ( he was right about the money, we had only been home 8 months - I had no answer only faith but I did convince him that 3 could sleep in 10 X 10 room if we had a set of bunk beds).

* We prayed about it and we soon both knew that Z was our son. We requested that WACAP put a hold on his file, while we finished up the paper work. I asked on the Luoyang Yahoo list if anyone was going to the orphanage and if they could please get a current picture of Z, his referral picture was when he was 18 months old and he was now over 3.

* We heard back from the family at the orphanage that Z was in foster care. Later that day we received an email from Mike the director of the New Day Foster Home Luoyang branch that Z might be in New Day Luoyang foster care.

*Z is listed as Jacob; our son is one of the children that I had prayed to find their forever family the year before.

God's world is small and God's timing is always right
