4 Years ago today our lives were forever changed! All the way around the world, our precious little Caleb entered our lives! I remember that day like it was yesterday! I still can feel the butterflies flying around my stomach as I waited all day to go meet him and prayed that he would love me as much as I already loved him. I could not even fathom what he was going through that day as his whole world was about to be rocked as well. But on May 9, 2007 around 4:30 in the afternoon I met my sweet boy. He was so scared as he made his entrance into the room, but the minute I held him in my arms, I knew he was home! Praise be to God! Though his tears broke my heart, in about 45 minutes he was laughing and cutting up with his new brother and sister! I cannot even begin to tell you all the emotions that I am going through right now!
I remember the smells, the sounds in the room, the clothes he was wearing, and everything about that beautiful moment! Only my God can orchestrate a moment like that and I am so grateful that he loves me enough to entrust this precious child to me. I am his mom! Wow! Not only did he give me Ben and Callie, but now Caleb! Thank you precious Lord! My thoughts are going wild right now as I type this and one day, I will share all those special memories with you all about our adoption experience! For now, I share with you that indescribable moment of when this beautiful child was placed in my arms forever as my son!
I love you Caleb!
