OH YEH!!!!! That is what all the paperwork, tears and pain has been about. God had a plan through the suffering. Sweet Gabe.
Kam, you are kissing those beautiful ears!! He is eating those yoghurt snacks! {sniff, sniff}, He is drinking from those bottles!!{sniff, sniff sniff}. He is smiling at those eyes who have prayed for him. {sniff, sniff sniff, sniff}. He is forever in those arms of HIS momma and Daddy. {Sniff, sniff, sniff, sniff, sniff}. Little Prince has found his home.

AMEN and Praise GOD. {Can't see the screen for tears!!}

Ok, bawling my eyes out here. That was freaking amazing. So glad he is doing relatively well for this first few hours. You all look fantastic.

God is SO Good!!

Hello sweet Gabe!! My heart rejoices with you guys!!! Everyone wondered why I was so happy so early. I said because they have Gabe!!! So Jason said to our son so if an orphan was adopted everyday, your momma wouldnt be a grumpy morning person. Lol. Absolutely!!! I thought with a smile and tears of joy running down my face absolutely! :)

Selina said...

Oh Kam! The video leaves me breathless. He's precious. His smile is amazing. Your love is evidnent.

The pictures and his facial expressions so reminded me of our first adoption, with Gabbey. She was 15 months, and so like Gabe!

Enjoy every second of the next few days, as he grieves and learns to know you and your DH. God bless your whole family during this time!

What a beautiful, beautiful meeting! His little face when Jase throws him into the air and then when you blow bubbles. Precious!

I cracked up when I saw the look he gave at being videoed while trying to drink his bottle. Please people!! I love it.

Happy, happy, happy. I know it's not the culmination, it's just the beginning. But it feels so right that his amazing story includes those moments. Congratulations!
