You'll Never Believe What Happened Today!







And the miracle God graciously bestowed on our friends....and allowed us to be a part of! First a little background info. Our friends the Easthams sent their dossier (paperwork) in for a China adoption in January of this year. (adoption lingo...they're LID 1/9/08). The wait for China is currently well...a little long. So they looked into a domestic adoption in the interum. After the green light decision to proceed...they completed their paperwork and sent it in LAST TUESDAY. This mommy here (me) decided to take her 3 little dumplings to Animal Kingdom today and as I was pushing my 100 lbs. of child DNA in stroller into the gate...I got a call from Vickie E. Their agency had just called them and asked if they could pick up their NEW DAUGHTER at 3pm today?????? People....that's less than a week wait!!! This family woke up this morning and was going about their normal business, God intervened ...and tonight they have a new baby! Anyway, please meet HOPE NICOLE EASTHAM ....born Saturday, Feb. 16th. and now residing with her new family in her new home. We are just as overwhelmed at God's providence in this little girls life as we are our own girls. Our God is amazing and we rejoice with this family and their new addition ! Adoption is truly a miracle and such a representation of the gospel lived out here on this earth!! Congratulations to this family and to Hope! After Animal Kingdom, this family (minus Katie who went home to bed) rushed over to see Miss Hope. In this case the doctor made a house call and declared the newest patient to be absolutely perfect! The Animal Kingdom pics will have to wait. These here are way too important:) We've witnessed a miracle today!
