With all babies I am always drawn into another world, but this moment, with this family, took my breath away. I have several friends who have adopted but I have never been able to capture them as a family when that child was still a newborn. This little guy is five weeks old and hangs on every movement his mommy and daddy make. I was giddy as I watched him interact with the people who God chose to be his parents. His eyes locked with theirs, knowing that he is theirs and they are his. It consistently amazes me how God knits every family together. No matter if it's through a mother carrying her own child for nine months or having a child handed to you after a long waiting period, the feelings are the same. They have each been chosen for the other.
This little guy has been blessed with wonderful, Godly parents and I am excited for what his future holds. Oh, and he's stinkin' cute to boot! And those eyes! Heaven help the little girls he will swoon some day.
