#lisfamilypartyof7

 We said yes to a file the last week in April and the call came on May 2nd!!! They wanted us to meet a beautiful teenage girl who was available for adoption.
We met for dinner on Monday May 7th just James and I her caseworker and one of the most beautiful girls in the world!
The following Saturday James and I took the boys  (Makayla had to work) to meet her and we spent the afternoon with her. They hit it off right away!! We spent the afternoon at the trampoline park, took her shopping for a new outfit and had dinner of her choosing.
The next Saturday we were invited to her dance recital and she was allowed to stay the night with us. This was the first time Makayla laid eyes on the sister she had been praying for, for so many years. I could hardly contain my emotions!!! We went to a big family dinner that night and the next day took her shopping for new bedding and then we all went to a movie.

Just a few short days later on Friday May 25th, our answered prayer, the daughter I have been praying for, for 9 years, walked through my door and came home. HOME forever.

To say it was a whirlwind is an understand, if you did the math, it all happened in less than a month. It also happened in the busiest month of the school year and the devil was throwing James and I jabs personally and professionally to throw us off track but she felt like a calm breeze because she is for sure God given in our lives. James said "it feels like she has always been here"
         
She came home in May which is National Foster Care Month and the goal/plan to finalize her adoption, National Adoption Day 2018 ......now that is God's perfect and beautiful plan.
