Cooper was proud of his pictures and showed them to everyone who asked, but there was one child who was even more excited-- Robert! He kept exclaiming (quite loudly!), "Liang Liang has a family! He's going home!" He studied Cooper's pictures very closely and wanted everyone to know the good news. Here he is grabbing Cooper's hand and leading him around the room:
During music time, Robert would repeatedly turn around from his seat in the first row and talk to Cooper. He held up 4 fingers and counted, "Now you have a dad, a mom, a big brother, and a big sister! Liang Liang! You have a family!"
We looked on, smiling and teary-eyed... not only because it was cute to see, but because of Robert's wonderful heart and sweet spirit. How much more this makes us long for the day that Robert will get a forever family of his own.

What a great, great post. I'm thrilled for Jenna and her family and for Cooper.
ReplyDeleteLord, move in the hearts of families to adopt these children. And, move in their lives in a real way until they are united and beyond. Thank you, Lord, for knowing each one of these children by name and for loving them deeply. Amen.
Oh my goodness! I am crying! How incredibly sweet!
