For the past year or so, I have had the privilage to get to know several adoption families through blogs. Some I still talk to through their blog and email, but others I have called on the phone for advice or even met person. Three of these families have finally completed their adoptions in January 2011.
Rachel and her husband Brad just got Legal Guardianship of their sweet Amelia last week. Amelia is a beautiful girl who I got to meet and love on while I was in Uganda. She lived in Charles Tucker's baby home. Rachel, Brad and Amelia are still in Uganda waiting to get Amelia's visa to come home to be united with their other daughter, Caroline. I am praying they will be safely home in the next couple of weeks. You can follow their journey HERE.
Lora and Andrew just returned home from Uganda last night with their sweet Mira, to be united with their five other children. This family has been through a lot in two and half weeks (which is extremely fast, our adoption process in country took four and half weeks), they had their money stolen and they almost had to come home with out their daughter. But, the Lord provided and now they are at home loving on all six of their children. I had the amazing privilage of meeting Mira in Uganda while I was there. Charles Tucker and I loved on her for an hour or so, while we took pictures and filmed her for her mommy and daddy back in the states. Only one month later, her parents were able to hold her in their arms. God is good!! You can follow their journey back home HERE.
Then finally, Julie and her husband just brought twin infants into their family through domestic adoption. I knew Julie through her blog Flutterbugs, but then realized my sister-in-law Leslie knew her as well. Julie and I finally met at one of the African Adoption Fellowships in Atlanta about six months ago. Julie and her family inspire me. They now have five children after waiting seven months to welcome home their babies. They are truly grateful to their birth mother who sacrificially gave these children up so they could be raised in a loving family. Such an inspiring "Gottcha Day Video".

Love seeing orphans come home to their forever families! It never gets old!!
