Meeting Isaac's Foster Family!


Thursday evening had to have been one of the highlights in this entire adoption adventure.  Our Prince had the unique situation of being fostered by a Canadian family who works in China.  They returned to their home country a couple of weeks ago, and are currently traveling a bit.  We heard from them early this week that they were within a couple hours of our home, and would be able to stop for a visit.  What an amazing thing it was to spend time with the family who was such a big part of Isaac's story!

After a simple dinner they all checked out Isaac's new bike.  Most of them even took it out for a spin!


Back inside the kids decided to go play on the Wii while the adults visited, then we all ended up in the back yard making everyone's favorite - s'mores.

I didn't say a whole lot on my blog about the meeting of and those first couple of days with Isaac. While I can't begin to equate my experience with that of Mary, I do believe that there are some instances where a mother can only ponder.  I still don't have adequate words to express it.

Meeting the foster family was another one of those experiences where my words just can't do justice to how special this night was to me.  How perfect their family was for our boy astounds me, and lining up their behind-the-scenes story with ours that was occurring at the same time is amazing.  That our two families were destined to be a part of this boy's story is so obvious (now).  I am forever in their debt for their loving on our boy!
