A day of significance!

Today is a significant day for us, in more ways then one!  It was on this date in 2010 that we decided which Adoption Agency we were going to use!  I had talked to the China Coordinator the day before and she was so helpful and took the time I needed to answer our questions!  I am so thankful that God led us to An Open Door Adoption Agency!

It was also on this date in 2010 that a precious little one was found on the lawn of the orphanage that has been her home for the last year!  She had with her a silver badge with her date of birth on it.  As I sit her and type this I once again think of her biological parents.  What made them decide that they could not care for her?  Where they sad?  Did they see no hope?  When they placed her on the lawn, did they stand at a distance and watch until someone found that she was there?  Do her parents walk past the orphanage and think of her?  While I don't know these answers, I am led to believe that they loved her so much to leave her in a place that she would easily be found and well cared for.  Maybe they did not have the financial means to care for a baby that had her medical needs?  I am so thankful that she was placed on the lawn of an orphanage that is believed to be one of the finest in China.  I am confident in that God knew before she was born that she would become our daughter!

So today, we celebrate!  We celebrate that our precious Myah was found and has been cared for in the best way that she can, while in a orphanage setting!  She has received medical care, she has clothes and food, and caregivers to hold her and love her.  For all of these things, this momma's heart is so so thankful!
