"They're coming"

Yesterday, 3 boys were officially adopted at BG. Even though their parents picked them up a week ago, yesterday the papers were signed and it was official, Canada has 3 new beautiful boys. It was an amazing thing to be a part of, to see the bond that had formed in only a few days between the children and the parents. What a great mother's day these moms will have!!!

I also saw this week what adoption does for the other children here. One boy was walking into preschool and asked where his friend was. When the teacher told him his parents came to pick him up, the child looked into his teacher's eyes and asked, "Where are my parents?". The teacher looked at him and said, "They're coming."

Today I am praying for all the parents that are "coming". Some of them haven't even thought of adoption yet, but one day they will be be "coming."

May we all, like that child, get excited that one day our Abba Daddy will be COMING!!!
