God is good and faithful and keeps His promises. I do't even have words to describe that picture.

Lots and lots of goose bumps today in honor of you guys! I checked your blog while at school and just had to share your happy news with my sweet class. They were excited for you and several of them had their own adoption stories to share...such a blessing!

Tish said...

such a beautiful picture!!!!!

Rebecca,
It is so beautiful to see your journey come to it's golden moment. Your patience, obedience, and steadfast spirit are inspiring to so many. Your Claire is with the most amazing family ever. Gosh, I remember 4 years ago when you and Mark agonized over her name! To know you, be so inspired by you, and yet to have never met you is a testament to your whole "amazingness". Cherish your days in China getting to know Claire. Cocoon her in your love and she know only joy.
Bless you Ladybug friend,
Erin Sakryd

Congratulations!

I've been traveling all day today but kept checking my blog reader on my phone. It was like Christmas waiting to see that picture of you guys with your Claire. I talked about your big event with my kids while on their way to school. It was so much fun to be able to pick them up this afternoon and tell them that you had your baby. My Ben was full of questions and told me that one day he would like to adopt a baby! Thanks for sharing your story with all of us. We are sharing in your joy and happiness on this special day :-)

Kam said...

Praise the Lord! In all things, He is good! I've been waiting to see this picture for two years! I know you waited so much longer...but blessed be the Name of the Lord! He has heard our cries and has answered!

Love and hugs to you my friend~
