I've been quietly enduring in persevering prayer----but had to speak and say that this has to be one the most beautiful and fulfilling photos I have seen in a very long time... They look wonderful together--YAY for the Garcias!!!!
Awesome pictures. I am sure the days and weeks ahead will be full of wonderful bonding experiences. Look how far you have come. I am so excited for you :)!
Thank you God, for bringing the Garcia family together. We do not always understand your timing, but we know that it is perfect and you are good, all the time.
PRAISE THE LORD! So glad your family is all together now. Keep us in your prayers as we leave to bring our 2 yr old daughter home from China at the end of February!
Praise God! Yes we all have been so anxiously waiting and praying to see this picture!!!! How exciting to see all of your children together at last :) SOOO HAPPY for you!!!
This blog was created to chronicle our family's journey to adopt our fourth child, a little boy from Haiti. Long before knowing him, we chose his name: Ian, meaning "God is gracious." Along the way our journey grew to include not only one, but two little boys from Haiti!
Ian and Alec finally arrived home on January 19, 2010.
