A Year Ago Today...

A year ago today, I walked into a remote orphanage in Ethiopia and saw my son for the first time.... He sat starving at only 7 lbs., covered in waste and flies, unable to smile, and in need of a life saving surgery to survive....I painfully left him there and promised I would return for him.....I prayed every day that he would SURVIVE until i could return to bring him home....One YEAR LATER exactly TODAY... He weighed 25 lbs at his Dr. appt this morning, he's a healthy, active post op toddler boy who has NOW been home over 7 months....And, our Cranio Surgeon says he doesn't have to see us back for 1 year!!!! yayyyyyyy!! His surgeries have been a success and we are celebrating here today for this LITTLE MIRACLE that i met one year ago TODAY!!! We love you more than words could ever express Wes Paulos!! I can't imagine my world with out YOU IN IT!!!! You bring me pure happiness each and every day!! Happy 1 year Meetcha Day!! :) And, Happy Monday to you all, kj

    How love makes a difference! St Therese said, "it is love alone that matters." Love can make you listen to God's urging, cross the sea, find your baby, bring him home, nurture him and seek those who can heal him. You have a beautiful family.

    Beautiful! I am so happy for you and your family. Wes' story brings me chills. I've watched, prayed and cried in his recovery. The earth needs people like you to act for God's glory. Much love. Merry Christmas.

    Congratulations! What a miracle. Will you do a video like you did for Lucy Lane? It inspired so many adoptions, I can only imagine Wes's will too!
