We are so thrilled to announce that we have committed to a fantastic little boy named "Hudson" (Hudson is his adoption alias) in Eastern Europe and we couldn't be happier.

Hudson is so super cute! Want to know a little more about him? Great, because I was going to tell you anyway. What mom can resist the urge to brag about her kiddo??
He turned 2 in October 2012. Since we didn't know the exact date, we celebrated with cupcakes, candles and singing Happy Birthday on Oct. 31.
He has big beautiful gray eyes, and the cutest little gap in his teeth.
He has some physical delays. Hudson isn't walking yet, but Noah assures me that he will teach him and the doctors can help.
He has a few more needs than he we were planning to take on, but God has really worked on our hearts the past month. Dave, in particular, was drawn to this little guy from the get go. Once nervous about all special needs, Dave was the one to step up to the plate and assure us that whatever Hudson needed, we could provide. We couldn't think of anyone we knew that could handle his needs better, so why were we so afraid? God would not put him on our hearts if He didn't have a plan. To see Dave's heart mold to God's calling was amazing. To hear Dave fighting for Hudson when I only wanted to take the easy path in this process was inspiring. I have honestly never been so proud of my husband. He is truly standing up for the orphan. He is an awesome man of God and I have never found it so easy to submit and follow him.
After much hmming and hahhhing, it just comes down to this: He needs us.
And we are pretty certain we need him right back!
YAY! YAY! YAY! :-)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see him thrive in your family! You two are awesome to continue on and follow God to Hudson. And I'm pretty sure I've said it before but I'll say it again, I LOVE the gap in his teeth : )
