treasure

Over the past couple of weeks, I have been in contact with a few different people that have served some time at the home where our sweet boy is living. We have prayed endlessly that babyu would feel loved and adored during this time that we are not with him. Not only does babyu have amazing women caring for him and loving him day in and day out but God has been so faithful in sending men and women to the home to love on the babes. We were given 5 pictures along with our referral. Since July 19, we have been able to collect 19 in addition to our 5. 19 MORE!! Amazing!! 

Our perspective has sure changed since having Owen...I think am positive that within the two months, we easily had a couple hundred photos. And now with our second child we have 24.  Twenty-four...and can I just tell you how precious each one is!?!? Such a treasure. 

It is so amazing to know that he is in a wonderful home that truly has the children's best interest in mind. If he has to be away from us at this point in time, it is so comforting to know he is in the next best place!

Below is a note from one of the girls that has spent time there recently. Enjoy...

@@@@@@ is such a great place. It has a very comfortable, home feel to it. The nannies, or aunties, are very friendly and attentive to the kids. Instead of leaving to take a break while we played with the kids they stayed and just spent time with all of us even if there wasn't a lot of child care for them to be doing. I really liked that. 

The babies home had a name that sounded a little funny to me... But the name just sums it up I think. There's a big portion of a wall that has Psalms 68:5-6 painted on it. You feel that being lived out there. There is such a sense of love that's really tangible here, the name is more than a name and it's the way that the people care for the children. Soooo. Basically, even though I fully believe that even the best orphan homes can't replace or care as well as being in family, I do believe your little boy is getting the greatest of care in all ways possible. (But he so needs his Mama's hugs so I'm going to pray like mad that you get to go bring him home soon!)

How sweet is that?!

Every bit of info that we can collect is priceless. I know our babyu will one day cherish these little parts of history that we have been able to gather. Hopefully it will help to answer just a few of the questions that he has about his past. I pray he will know he was loved and adored always...since the beginning of his sweet life.
