We have such a great family. I just can't explain what a fabulous family we have. My sister and her husband came over tonight, and out of the blue, gave us $500 to go towards the travel expenses to bring our baby home! They have already given us a gift previously, back near the beginning of our adoption journey.
But you know, the best part is not the financial generosity. The best part is knowing that our child will have not only the love and support of our immediate family, but the truly unconditional love of our extended family. She'll be a part of fun family gatherings, family vacations, ballgames, birthdays, good times (and bad times). Never alone. So blessed. And she will be taught to trust in the LORD in all things, for He is trustworthy. She'll see that truth lived out not only in her immediate family, but in all the family around her. No, we are no where near the "perfect family," but there has never been a family more blessed than our family.
Can't wait for her to meet them all!!
