The love of strangers

I can't even begin to express my gratitude today. Today, two people we don't even know have donated toward bringing Micah home... one who knows a friend, and one who we just met online through the wonderful Reece's Rainbow family (the angel who took my baby's pictures at his orphanage!) This journey has brought me to tears every single day. Stories of others' journeys, looking at Micah's picture, reading books, the gratitude of strangers, and the constant support we get from those around us each day. This is undoubtedly one of the hardest things I've ever gone through because I want Micah home with us now and we have to wait while he is in the orphanage. I pray for his warmth, health, safety, nourishment, and happiness. I pray that his country does not close it's doors to adoptions, especially of special needs children. I pray that the caregivers are good to him, and I pray that he can feel our love over a 14+ hour flight (couldn't find a way to calculate miles and got a good laugh over me trying from Barry! lol). We are so in love with that little guy and we haven't even met him. Good night my sweet buddy. We love you so much! Love, Mama and Daddy

You are doing a wonderful thing and somehow God will make sure that he feels your love. I can't wait to meet him someday.
