Gotcha Day! Officially
















As I write this blog our son is sleeping in our bed. Today was an amazing day that started early with getting Cooper from HOH and applying for his passport and ended with a "To Whom It May Concern" letter in our hands that meant that Cooper could remain with us forever.

There were some neat answers to prayer along the way today as well. From our POA convincing the Immigration office to process all of our children's passports by Friday, to the Minister being in her office this afternoon, to hearing that several families just got referrals on the same day that 6 Rwandan children were officially adopted into their forever families, God has remained faithful.


There is still much to be done and experienced on our journey, but we will sleep soundly tonight with Cooper next to us knowing full well that God has amazing things planned for us!
