Letters to our kids

Dear Sophie, Brooklyn and Jaxon: I cannot tell you how thankful we are that God has chosen us to be your family! His hand has been in this adoption from the very beginning of time. We are ready for you to get to your new home in Oklahoma! We have friends and family that want to meet you so badly! We will stop at nothing to bring you home. We will fight for you and walk through fire for you! We pray for you everyday. We pray for God to keep you safe and for the adoption paperwork to go quickly. We pray for you to stay healthy and happy and for you to feel the love of God and the love of your family. We are so excited for you to start your life with us! Sophie, I love that you are full of energy, love and expression. You are so passionate and I can't wait to see you harness that passion and achieve the things in life that God wants you to. I love that from the beginning of the world, God knew that you were our daughter. I love that He even made you look like me! :-) you are so special and I know that God has a huge plan for your life. I love you so much, Sophie Girl. Brooklyn, your sweet nature and quiet temperate draws me in. I want to know what you are thinking. Your eyes tell a beautiful story and I can't wait to see the rest of the story unfold. You, my dear, are my miracle. As we waited to know if we would ever be matched with a baby, you were rescued. Heather knew that you were our daughter well before we did! But the moment I met you, I knew. Heather handed you to me and I felt as though I had just given birth. You were my daughter. You had always been my daughter. It was just right. I can't wait for you to come home and for us to see you come into your own personality. You have friends here already that carry your picture around! Jaxon, my sweet, sweet son. How I love you. You are so peaceful. It's amazing to me how you thrive in any environment you are put in. I always wanted a boy...and good luck, because you have 3 older sisters! You are so loving and such a cuddler. You were our confirmation from God that we were doing the right thing in proceeding with an international adoption. I know that your daddy can't wait to have a son to kick a soccer ball with and wrestle around with. You are so loved! I pray daily that God will continue holding you and comforting you. I believe that is what has kept you so relaxed so far. I know that God has big plans for you, son. I pray that you will become a strong, courageous man of God and you will be able to minister to the people of Haiti as an adult. I can't wait for you to be in your new forever home. Kids, we hope that you can feel the prayers and love that cover you on a daily basis. Please know that when we aren't there to hold you, your Heavenly Father is. He will hold you and protect you. He will wipe your tears and sing in your ear. He will tuck you in at night before you sleep and He will listen to your prayers. He will be there for you now in Haiti, and He will still be with you when you come to your forever home. We pray that you will always feel our love, but more importantly, we pray that you will always feel God's love. We are so ready for you to forever be DONAHO'S!!!!
