One year ago

On March 13, 2009, we received our referral for Hudson and saw this sweet face for the first time:


Our adoption process was hard and challenging at times (due to many circumstances that were out of our agency's control). To be honest, I really wrestled with God during this time, questioning His faithfulness and His plan. While we were waiting to adopt Hudson Musse, he was hospitalized a few times and and there were times when we were not sure if he was going to make it. We also faced some paperwork obstacles, which raised the question if we would ever be able to adopt him. But thankfully, God's plan for Hudson Musse included us. On November 23, when I walked into his orphanage, lifted him out of his crib, and held him in my arms for the first time, my heart was full. Our adoption process was not smooth and easy, but it was worth it.

Hudson Musse is a sweet, happy, cuddly boy. He is determined and he is growing up so quickly! He has the greatest smile and laugh. He has made so much progress in his development these past few months. Hudson Musse, we love you and are so thankful that God brought you into our family, in His time.
