On February 2nd at around 12 noon my best friend sent me a massage via text that said I had better take a look at this sweet boy on a 'special needs' wait list.
When I saw this picture. I knew.
I knew, like when I saw my newborn babies. I knew that he was meant to be in our family, and I knew I would do whatever it took to make that happen.
It was as much a surprise for me, as it would be for anyone else.
I have gazed at photo listings for more times than I care to admit.
So what was different about this child? what made it undeniable that it was different was the feeling that came over me when I gazed into his eyes.
It was if he said. "I'm Yours."
and that was it. He Was Mine.
