Monday morning we woke up with so much excitement and nervousness. We had no idea what to expect when we went to the agency. The morning was a huge blur. I don't know how we were functioning. As we were getting ready Justin's parents called to share a morning devotion. This devotion was specifically for June 16th and talked about loving and taking care of orphans. This was yet another sign that this boy was supposed to be ours. As we continued to get ready, before we walked out the door I picked up our devotional and one of the verses for the day was
Micah 6:8
Act justly, to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
Quite fitting considering our son's name is
Brayden Micah
When we arrived we were numb. They had us sit in a waiting room while they got our son ready. It was driving us crazy knowing our son was just around the corner. We could hardly breathe and we were trying to hold it together as we were waiting patiently to meet him.
"You ready?" that's all they asked as they guided us down a hallway to where he was waiting. We couldn't believe in about 30 seconds we were going to be parents. Something we have been hoping and praying for for over two years.
We can't even explain how we felt as we turned the corner and got to put him in our arms. It's amazing how you can instantly love someone so much. He was worth the wait. Every single minute of it. Brayden Micah was our son and this is the little boy we have been waiting for.
