My heart is so full of blessings from the Lord as I reflect back on our time in Oklahoma to receive the gift of our precious daughter...
Adam was able to stay on top of work via his laptop while in Oklahoma. Blessing!
Michael adjusted beautifully and didn't seem to skip a beat in his routine. Blessing!
So very thankful that our awesome adoption agency was willing to do an out-of-state adoption, we didn't want to use anyone other than APO. Karla worked very hard and was humble and gracious with a difficult attorney on the Oklahoma end of the Interstate Compact. Only someone with Jesus in their heart that covered the situation in prayer like Karla did could have pulled it off. Blessing!
Even though we were not home in the great state of Texas, we didn't feel like we were alone in a foreign land because the Lord provided us with love, support and "family" in the form of Nan, Pop and Deb. So thankful the Lord provides all we need. Blessing!
Margie's nurse was not only fabulous but she too was an adoptive mom. So Ella Grace was near and dear to her heart. After her shift was over she stayed on with us until Ella was born and she took our pictures. Blessing!
They may not realize it, but Ethan's family was very much a blessing to us. This was a tough time for them but they showed nothing but love and respect to us. We enjoyed the time to get to know them a little bit and they are wonderful. I was very touched by the prayer Ethan's Dad prayed after Ella was born. Blessing!
Staying with the Salzman family was such a treat going to and from Oklahoma. Anytime I get to see my best friend is a treat, but to share our celebration of Ella was extra special. She even took the night shift so I could rest up. Blessing!
