Well, it has been over a month since Cooper has become our son. Life has definitely changed. What a wonderful change it has been. Words can not describe. My love grows for him more and more every day.
Through the past month I have learned so much. Being a transracial family has forced us to learn a lot! I am so thankful. I have learned so much about myself and about the God I serve. God has given us discernment, knowledge, grace and mercy up to this point and I am believing He is going to be with us each step of the way.
I was just telling a friend the other day how thankful I am that God chose this path for us. I am so thankful for adoption. I am so thankful God chose to bring our children to us through adoption. I am so thankful.... God chose Nathan for us!!! God chose Cooper for us!!!
The funny thing is... people still ask, " how many children do you want to have?" I just laugh! HA!! As many as God would like to bless us with! Does not matter how they get here or how far we have to go to bring them home. They are OUR children chosen by Jesus.
"In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps." Proverbs 16:9

what precious little feet on that handsome boy! I'm delighted that you're delighted with God's plan for your family. Can't wait to hold that little munchkin again. We continue to pray your sweet Nathan home & have begun dreaming about your curly headed son. Hey, they both have curls! How fun. "Greater things have yet to come..." Love you guys.
Wonderful post!! I'm so happy for all of you, and might I add you have two beauitful sons. I was so glad I got to meet sweet Cooper the other night, even though he was sleeping so peacefully. God Is Good!!
This such a sweet picture...
Precious God, precious family!
God could not have chosen a more perfect family for both of these boys!!!Tricia
He is really a blessing. We enjoy our time with Cooper and look forward to many more wonderful times with our Grandson. Love you all.
Congratulations!
Still praying in MN for the "transition" cases of 900+ children still waiting to come home.

WOW what great news. I followed your blog a while back and check back periodically to see if anything was happening with Nathan and tonight I come to find out that Cooper has entered your lives. What a great blessing. I hope that you both are enjoying being full time parents it is such a blessing.
