Our son...Bobby

This has been an amazing week to say the least. I have been praying fervently that God would show us His will, that He would close or open doors showing us EXACTLY what He wants us to do in this adoption. Would we actually get two children or just one? Would it be two girls, two boys, or one of each? What would their ages be?
On Tuesday of this week, I had to go to church to see our Adoption Minister (and very sweet friend), Erica. Erica asked me to pray, to pray for a little boy who needs a home, Bobby. He currently lives in Jeremie at our church's orphanage. He is 3 years old and is not thriving under his current conditions. Erica asked us to pray and see if we felt that Bobby would be a good fit for our family. He is underweight and undersize, but totally on track cognitively. He will require some special TLC when he comes home. Honestly, we didn't feel a drop of hesitation. It was a solid yes!! As we prayed through the night, we got an overwhelming YES from God. I called Erica back to tell her and she told me that was all they needed. Bobby just needed a family and he would be able to be moved to his "creche"- a safe home for kids who are going to be adopted. We now know who our little boy will be!!!! It will be BOBBY!!!
For now, God has given us the opportunity to bring Bobby home and into our family. Maybe another time, maybe later, we will adopt again. But for now, who could say no to this child God has given us?
