The Lost Boys

We received a letter today from a family that adopted a child from the same orphanage that Van is at. She painted a picture of the situation for little boys at the orphanage that we would like to share with you.

“…All of the nannies had their own kids to show off for [the adoptive parents]. Each was proud of her two babies. Some had us take pictures, especially of the boys, to try to find them homes. They all wanted their babies loved too. The director begged us to find homes for his boys. There were at least five boys to each girl, maybe more. You will see for yourself soon.”

Reading this really cemented the fact that God had planned for us to have Van all along. All this time we were planning for a little girl, God must have been chuckling. Too bad he didn’t let us know before we finished our little girl’s nursery. Hopefully, Van likes pink. Just kidding…we are coming up with a theme for Van’s room now. We haven’t yet settled on one, but we still have a few months.
