Today is the day we meet our little guy! We finally get to meet the person who has grown in our hearts for 16 months. We pray as a family that we will have unconditional positive regard; this term was coined by Carl Rogers and is the basic acceptance and support of a person regardless of what he says or does. We realize this journey will not be easy and we go in it with our eyes wide open. I haven't been this excited since my first
neuroscience class, I mean when I was getting married to Jeff. I haven't been this anxious since ever. Will he accept us? Will he be scared?
We thank Boo's birthmother for choosing life and giving him to us as a gift; we hope to raise him into a man after God's own heart. Though he was not birthed from us, he was birthed from our hearts. The hurts that he has experienced we won't be able to erase but we hope that we can help carry his yoke.
Now we are going to listen to Black Eye Peas as a family!
I gotta feeling that todays’s gonna be a good day
That todays’s gonna be a good day
