This post is for a special couple in Colorado; "friends" I've never met, a sister/brother in the Lord, and fellow adoptive parents. But I beg the rest of you to read, be moved and pray for this family.
I have the incredible opportunity of being a part of blessing this mommy and daddy with pics/video of their precious son who is miles away from them in body, but closer than their next breath in their hearts. (I was blessed beyond measure to get to hold him and love on him, on behalf of his mommy and daddy, while we were in Taiwan.)
Having experienced both the addition of a biological child and an adopted child to our family, I can tell you that both scenarios are full of excitement, fear, joy, and anticipation. But I must say, there is something distinctly different about adoption. With pregnancy, the biological child is with you from the moment of conception (even before you know they exist), with adoption you deal with knowing your child has been born and is spending day after day away from your loving arms. God's grace is always sufficient, but the longing to hold that child and experience their first moments can overwhelm even the most trusting heart.
So I ask you to STOP, and PRAY for this family. They have experienced delay after delay in bringing their precious son home. They need a miracle. Please pray that the "formalities" will be expedited and that their son will be home, in their arms, SOON!
Here's the links to the 4 very short clips of precious Micah:
