"Aaron"

If you follow our blog, you know Aaron's story. If not, scroll through our blogs and find "It could only happen to us". Just a recap, Aaron was the boy given to us at our first meeting and we realized he wasn't the same boy in our pictures who we had been preparing, fundraising, praying, advocating, crying, and laughing over.

So we got the paperwork straightened out and adopted Micah, but what about Aaron?! We have said repeatedly that if we were approved for two children, we would've brought them both home. But our Heavenly Father had other plans. He used our mix-up and story to find Aaron another family, and in record time! Within 3 weeks of our story posting, God used Beth Herrington (another RR mom) to share the story with a woman whose daughter was talking about adoption (of course these "chance" encounters are much bigger than this simple sentence). The mother told her daughter about Aaron's story, and after prayer and consideration, she and her husband have committed to adopting Aaron!!!

We proudly announce that Aaron has a family!

I will let them do the honors of introducing themselves and their story, but for now they live in the Sacramento, CA area and are very in love with this sweet boy whose story broke all of our hearts. Since we've been at the orphanage with him, we've been able to give them pictures and videos of their angel. Barry and I are so humbled and blessed to be a part of his rescue. We went for one orphan and God was able to use us (and a host of others praying) to save two. So thank you all! And the biggest thanks goes to our Heavenly Father who loves him more than anyone else could.
