“I am writing to you about a beautiful young lady… I have a
request to make of you but before doing so feel you should know
more about her. For one thing she has (5) hearts - her own and
(ours.) (We’re) not complaining. (We) gave her (ours) willingly
and like it right where it is. Her name is (?) but for some time
now (we’ve) called her (Reagan.)… My request to you is - could
you on this day whisper in her ear that someone loves her very
much and more and more each day?…If you‘ll do this for (us
we‘ll) be very happy knowing that she knows (we) love her with
all (our) heart(s.)”

Included in the referral packet
was information on her personality, size, and health. It said
that she looks around curiously and is very alert! She smiles
constantly and says "Ma ma" and "Ba ba." She leans forward for a
hug when a caregiver comes into a room that she knows. She is
very friendly and sweet! She is healthy and was 12.98 lbs and 25
inches long in November at 5 months old. We will get updated
information later!
The pictures are of her when she was 5 months old. She looks a
lot like our twins, especially when they were babies. She really
looks Ashton's baby pictures - same mouth, nose, hair (what
little there is), and large, round eyes. She has Kieron's long
body and her oval face. She also has their skin coloring. We are
so blessed, and may God get all of the glory!
Thank you, Jesus for all three of our answered prayers: Ashton,
Kieron, and Reagan! |

You Are My Child
by Shawna Fox
Sometimes I sit and wonder how it's going to be.
When I can call your name, and you look up at me.
I don't try to understand why you've been left alone.
But I pray and count the hours 'til I come and bring you home.
CHORUS
I wasn't there when you were born; I didn't see you start to crawl.
I couldn't watch your first few steps, or pick you up from your first
fall.
I may not be the one who saw your first sweet smile.
I wasn't there in the beginning; but from now on, you are my child!
Every night I touch your picture before I can go to bed
So that images of you will be dancing in my head.
And although we've never met you, and we've never held you close,
We're so blessed to be your parents; and we thank God we're who He
chose.
CHORUS
I reach for your tiny hands, but you're a million miles away.
And I know I love you more with each slowly passing day.
From the moment you entered our lives, you became a vital part.
You may not have my eyes, but you will always have my heart.
CHORUS

I will not leave
you as orphans; I will come to you. John 14:18 |
