If you would like to know how to pray more specifically for us here are some of the things that we are asking God for.
Zachary's Birthfamily: That God would protect them and bring comfort and healing into their lives.
Zachary's Foster Family: That God would bless them abundantly for the love they have given to our son and so many other children over the last 20 years. That God would comfort them (particularly Zach's Nuna who loves him so much but is so young) as they grieve his departure from their home.
Zachary: That God would prepare his heart to receive us as his parents. That he will eat well for us and will be comfortable on the plane ride home.
Us: That God will give us the knowledge that we need to care for Zachary. That we will tolerate sleep deprivation well! That we will find such joy in the first days of parenthood.
We love you guys,
M

Praise God for all He has done. You know all of these things will be in our prayers. Just rest assured that God will prepare the way. You are the neatest couple! God is blessing you as a family!
Wow is he cute and you look so happy holding him. You guys are so fortunate to have a record of his past with his foster family. What a treasure! You'll do fine with Zachary and we all survived without sleep when you were young. Love, Mom
