[...] Love at First Sight: Our Journey to Samuel It is amazing to look back at this whole adoption, and see how God had his hand upon us. It all started about 3 weeks ago. I was asked by our adoption agency if we would ever be open to adopting a baby whose birth mother was HIV positive.

Congrats on your adoption! As a fellow adoptive mom, just a gentle note that you may want to keep certain things about Samuel's adoption private. Things he may not want the world (re: world wide web!) to know someday... Just because we are very open to talking about certain things, doesn't mean our kids will be. Just a thought. God bless.
ReplyDeleteGod is indeed so very good to us. These miracle babies are nothing short of awesome gift from Him. I am so thankful for mine and I can easily see that you are thankful for Sam. He is adorable!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the name... my little guys middle name is Samuel!
Congratulations!
I couldn't see the video :(
