Orphan Sunday 2013

Today is Orphan Sunday. A lot has changed since this day last year. Last year I wondered who and where our new child was. But this year we know who our child is. He is a beautiful, sweet baby boy that we have named Nathaniel. And we know where he is. He is in an orphanage in Kinshasa, DRC.

But some things are the same. We still don't know when he will be home. I still wonder how he is. Is he safe? I still wonder, do think about your new Mommy? I think about you all the time. Even though we have not met you, Daddy and I love you already. WE can't wait until you are home with us. Desiree asked just this morning if you were flying from Africa yet. She wants you home too.

Nathaniel has found his forever family and we have found the baby we have longed for, but my heart goes out to all the other millions of orphans that have not yet found theirs. I know that God has not called everyone to adopt, but I think that many more could. If you are thinking about adoption, I encourage you to go for it. There are so many children waiting.

Blessings,
Melissa
