we are in uganda, africa at this very moment to bring our amos home!

i have thought many times about seeing our boy for the first time
& learning his personality.

i've thought about the emotion that i would feel when i held him for the
first time...

but now it is actually happening!!! we are, at this moment, loving on our little one.
what a joy & an honor to be asked to welcome this sweet boy into our family forever!

Father, give our family grace for this transition!!!

MAKE US MORE LIKE YOU!!!!!!!

our Father has gone before us & He is sovereign in all things! :)

keep praying for us!!!
