A New Daughter (Una Hija Nueva)

We are thrilled to announce the arrival of our little Peruvian daughter to our family...we finally got news today that our God has seen fit to give us a little 3 1/2 year old girl from the mountains of our beloved Peru.  We're beside ourselves with joy and excitement!!  We've spent the day in thankful prayer, phone calls with Peru to start paperwork rolling and happy calls/messaging with so many of you who have been walking through this adoption process with us for the past year and a half.  In just a matter of days, our little girl will be shown pictures of her Dad, Mom and her brothers and sister.  They'll tell her we're coming to get her to bring her home.  She won't really understand what it means...how could any of us understand what it means to be suddenly part of a family, loved unconditionally by someone we don't know?  Quite a picture of what our adoption in Christ is like...Soli Deo Gloria!

"I will not leave you as orphans, I will come to you."  John 14:18


**********************************

Estamos muy emocionados de anunciar la llegada de nuestra hijita peruana a nuestra familia...por fin recibimos la noticia hoy día que nuestro Dios nos ha bendecido con una pequeña de 3 años y medio de la sierra de nuestro querido Peru.  !No nos cabe la alegría y emoción!!  Hemos pasado el día con oraciones agradecidas al Señor, llamadas al Peru para comenzar el papeleo y llamadas y mensajes alegres con tantos de ustedes que nos han acompañado a lo largo del ultimo año y medio en este proceso de adopción.  En cuestión de dias, nuestra chiquita vera fotos de su Papa, su Mama y sus dos hermanos y su hermana.  Le contaran que estamos yendo por ella para recogerla y traerla a casa.  Realmente no entenderá que significa todo eso...como podría cualquiera de nosotros entender lo que significa de repente ser parte de una familia, ser amado incondicionalmente por alguien que no conocemos?  Que tal imagen de lo que es nuestra adopción en Cristo...solo a Dios sea
 la gloria!

"No los dejare huérfanos, volveré a ustedes."  Juan 14:18
