My mouth will speak in praise of the Lord. Let every creature praise his holy name forever and ever. Psalm 145:21
When I think about what our little girl has gone through these past two months, it just amazes me! It really does seem like she has always been here. The first two years of her life have been so different than what she knows now. I look at her several times a day and still just can't believe that she is actually home and adjusting so well.
When we first decided to adopt a special needs child we were a little scared. There are so many unknowns already with adoption and we really had to trust that the Lord would prepare us for whatever lied ahead. We prayed that the Lord would prepare her heart for us and feel comfortable with us. From the first moment we met Bella Mei until Tuesday we never worried about her ASD. We fell in love with her and knew that the Lord would heal her heart in his timing. I can honestly say we were never worried or stressed out about what we would hear at our first cardiologist appointment. This past Tuesday she had an echo done and the doctor said the words we were waiting to hear.... She has a perfect heart... the hole has closed!! Praise the Lord!! It is hard to come up with the words that really express how we feel! Blessed... is about all I can come up with! Blessed that the Lord has allowed us to be her parents... Blessed that she is learning to love her forever family... Blessed that our family has been forever changed by the gift of adoption and Blessed that he has given us four very special children! We love each one of them so very much! To God be the glory... Great things he has done!!
