Thanks so much for your prayers. It went fine. I can beat myself up after I do something like this...but I'm not going to do that here. I'll keep those thoughts contained. :) I'm glad it is over and I pray that God was glorified through me sharing our journey. I tried really, really hard not to cry. It was one year ago that we were meeting Juvenson and Esaie for the very first time. I cherish those memories. It was so hard to be talking about them and showing their pictures with the realization that we'll never see them again here on earth. I knew that if I did start crying it would be an ugly face cry and I still had a whole lot of story to get through...so my voice cracked a few times and my eyes watered, but I choked it down. Boy I sure miss those precious little boys! I pray for their salvation so I can hug them again in heaven.
It was fun to bring Hudson into the room after sharing our journey and hug his squishy little body. I sure love him! I love how the Lord worked all things for good. Oh man...I just realized that I didn't share how Hudson was born exactly 40 weeks and 2 days after the date that God confirmed to us that we were to adopt. Can you believe His timing? We had no idea that whole 40 weeks he was the bundle of joy we were waiting for...but God knew all along! I just never cease to me amazed with how God worked in our journey. I know it is *my* story, but when I remember all of these little details I stand in awe of how Great God is!
I really appreciated your prayers!

I was praying for you this morning and I have been wondering all day how it went! I still get tears in my eyes when I read that it was exactly 40 weeks and 2 days, God is SOOO much bigger then we will ever comprehend!
That. Is awesome.
You were great! Sorry I had to miss some of it but my little love can be a little stinker..never wants to sleeps. :o) Thanks so much for sharing. I noticed there were a few tears in the room so you can see your story touches deeply.
Thank you,
Destiny
What a beautiful son and family you have, congrats!
found you through red letters..
I love God's plans & God's timing!! He is SO good!! I love that in spite of the losses that your family experienced- you give the Lord all the glory!
I love you too!!
Laura,
That is amazing that you were able to tell your story & that you can hold your memories close to your heart & still talk about God's grace through it all.. I have loved to watch Him work in your life!
((hugs))
I am so glad that all went well. I was wondering about it as well!
What an amazing testimony you have of God's work in your lives and in bringing Hudson to you.
I absolutely love how God is all into the details...like 40 weeks and 2 days. A full gestational period. For Hudson's little body and your mothering spirit.
It was like that for my parents as well...they decided to adopt and 4 1/2 years later (the system has come a long way!) they adopted a 4 1/2 year old girl. :)
