Today our little guy turned 3. In just one more month we will have had Sean one year. Our social worker came for the last time yesterday, and she asked me how I was adjusting. Part of my answer was, I cannot imagine not having Sean in our lives. Though it's been an adjustment, an on-going one at that, we are certainly blessed to have him. Today is filled with balloons, presents, extended family, cake and ice cream. There are still times I wonder what life would be like today for Sean if no one had chosen to adopt him. Would the workers even celebrate his life with a special party? Maybe. Maybe not.
Today in Shantou China, it is 79 degrees with 100% humidity and fog, and the orphanage Sean is from is a non-descript building in the middle of a city with a population of 1,333,973, and a country of 1.3 billion people-7,000 miles from America. Yet, these are numbers that did not prevent God from bringing us Sean, and for that we will always be grateful.
