But we did have a shock of our life recently. So when we found out we were torn as to what to do. We decided the best thing to do was to be upfront and honest with all involved. We called all who needed called and will have to change some papers but....
IT"S A BOY!!!!
Micah Jaleen Cooper
He is a beautiful 5 year old little boy with Down Syndrome. He is perfect in every way. We were chosen as his forever family just yesterday and soon (we hope) we will travel to Houston to meet him and bring him home.
We are rejoicing in the Lord. What an amazing blessing He has given to us. Some of you may be thinking we are crazy...thats ok. Others of you will want to know about Misha and Judah. Well, we will still be pursuing our adoption of them. Our SW actually said this was the perfect time for this to happen. God's timing is always perfect.
We would like you to pray with us though we have a few hangups that need to be cleared up before we can bring him home and they say that could take months. But we believe that God chose this time for a reason. Please also pray that he would like us. If the first meeting goes well we may only have to travel once and we can bring him home then.
But now we need to go get bunkbeds and some bedding and clothes and candy cigars and celebrate!
Sons are a heritage from the Lord,
children a reward from him.
Like arrows in the hands of a warrior
are sons born in one’s youth.
Blessed is the man
whose quiver is full of them.
Psalm 127:3-5
We are blessed!
What a blessing! He is precious. Texas adoptions are way easier than the other we are going through.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to meet our new grandson. Send us more pictures as you get them.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! What a handsome boy!
ReplyDeleteTHis is awesome he is a prince. I am so excited for him and for your family. Praying you get to see him soon. GOD Bless
ReplyDeleteWow! HOW did that happen??!!
ReplyDeleteWe saw him when we first moved to Texas and started the process to adopt him but no one ever got back to us. We felt called to Bulgaria. Then bam a couple weeks ago they changed case workers and ask us to be part of a staffing we said yes and then we were chosen. God is good! be blessed
