While it's hard to rejoice over the news that there is a 10 month old baby without any family who is living in an orphanage that cannot continue to meet his needs, we are - in fact - rejoicing. We do not believe that God disrupted baby E's short life with poverty, disease, and abandonment just so that he could come live with us in Zeeland, as he was "meant to" all along. We don't believe that God plays games like that. However, we do believe that we have been called to step in where a birth family could not and we are honored, humbled, and ecstatic to do so.
Here we go!
