What an emotional journey you have been on and what a beautiful picture above!! Congratulations! I know that you will treasure the upcoming days with your entire family at home.

I've been following your blog since it was mentioned on Love Isn't Enough. Congratulations to your whole family!!! Thank you for sharing your story in this way.
What an incredible photo of a priceless moment. As Ive prayed for your family immensly over the last week and a half I have experienced the reminder that God knows ALL. When you started this process those 2 years ago, God knew what was instore in the future, the struggle you would face. But what an incredible work of the Lord that your story brought a nation together in prayer. God has used your son as a way to grow His kingdom and I believe this is only the first time of many that your little guy will do huge things for the kingdom!
Many many congrats and blessings for your family!

Another "silent" reader of your blog for some time. I can't stop crying, tears of joy and hope and love for your entire family. My best friend is due home this evening from Miami with their two haitian children (Gods Little Angels Orphange)- what a journey you all have been through. I will be thinking of your family as you bond and snuggle and bond. I am so happy for you I could (and will!) sing to the mountain tops!
You have opened up your world to readers in such a beautiful and candid way. It's quite surprising to know how much I can be happy for a family I don't know personally…but thanks to your blog, you just spread an incredible amount of joy and hope. Congratulations and we will continue to pray for you and those kind souls in Haiti.
…will be praying, praying, praying, for a smooth transition for all of you. I pray that Keanan will embrace your home and your family as his forever home quickly. Praise God from whom ALL blessings flow!
I've been following your journey and praying for you! Tears welled up in my eyes at the sight of this picture. Thank you Lord, that he is home. Praying for his transition and your family's adjustment.
