We are at long last…WITH HONOUR.It seems like just yesterday she was only a dream, a wish, a distant hope. Today she is in our arms. Sorry it’s taken so long to post. We basically went into lock down mode yesterday as Honour began to grieve about an hour after we got back to the Hotel. She has been through so much for such a little girl. While we are seeing a deep sadness, we are also beginning to see a fight in her. This is a good thing. It’s what has brought her this far.
This morning I was reminded of Psalm 56:8;
“You've kept track of my every toss and turn through the sleepless nights,
Each tear entered in your ledger,
and each ache written in your book.”
It seems the older I get, the less I know about God. But this I know; He must have volumes of ledgers and a really big book. Especially for children who ache for home.

We are so happy for you, and are praying for the transition and bonding to be very smooth and beautiful. The pictures of you guys with her bring tears to my eyes, especially seeing Michaela and Honour together.
Much love,

Congratulations!! It is so hard to see a child you love grieve. I have to admit to being a tad worried when I didn't read a post right away. I will be praying for comfort for Honour and strength for you.
