Above the Clouds: Priceless

Priceless

3 years of trying to conceive
3 years of waiting to adopt
1 agency closing
3 avenues to travel to find our son
1 incredible and caring lawyer
26 days he spent in the NICU
4 trips to Florida
1,000's of dollars spent
5,000 different emotions once we got him home...........

but the feeling of bringing that precious boy home is absolutely

PRICELESS!

Yea,Susan! I'm so glad your family has finally been united. I can't imagine how difficult the wait and the having to leave would be AFTER your son was born.

Paid off big time, though because you are gorgeous family of four now!

Congrats, Congrats, CONGRATS!!!

Thank you to those close to me who have prayed, encouraged me, and "held up my arms."

"So Joshua fought the Amalekites as Moses had ordered, and Moses, Aaron and Hur went to the top of the hill. ¹¹ As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning, but whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning. ¹² When Moses' hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up—one on one side, one on the other—so that his hands remained steady till sunset. ¹³ So Joshua overcame the Amalekite army with the sword."
