A Day to Celebrate
One year ago, today, my life turned right-side up. Rebekah and I cried out to God at the same moment on the same day...exactly nine months into our adoption journey. She asked me to love her son and from that day forward I've never stopped...
This morning, when I looked into those soulful eyes and saw that crazy hair, my heart cried out. Lord, thank you for choosing me.

Ah I love this story with the best ending in the world. It appears Mr Ty may have been nibbling on those sweet toes of his! Happiness always to all of you.
ReplyDeleteOh, my God, Rebekah... I will never forget that post... It was the day I found your blog, and I read all of it, like a book. I cried like a baby...
ReplyDeleteI was still waiting then. I said "I hope someday I can share the same joy..."
Now I'm a mom. :o)
God is good.
we are so happy for you guys! :)
ReplyDeleteIt never ceases to overwhelm me how amazing adoption is!
ReplyDeleteAmen!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet post! I love his tongue and crazy hair!
ReplyDeleteI am SO happy for ALL of you! Your story is AMAZING!! It shows us that God answers prayers when he thinks it is the right time, after waiting ALL that time... The timing was perfect!! I love reading about Ty. Thank you SO much for sharing him with us!!

Oh my goodness. Are you serious? You are so good with dates. I can never remember special dates like this. Look at that precious baby boy. He has most certainly been chewing on his toes. Oh Rebekah, I sure love all three of you so very very much. Im glad God brought us together...and all it took was one tiny baby boy and a really big God. :)

Such amazing JOY!! I still remember reading that earth shattering news and laughing/crying right along with you!!
ReplyDeleteFrom one adoptive momma to another, I can "hear" the awe in your words. We are SO blessed!

Love the crazy hair, love the drool on those toes he has obviously been sucking on, and love seeing you grow as a Mommy. What a difference a year makes!
ReplyDeleteI have chills when I read it!! happy "anniversary"!
ReplyDeleteI love how you word it "my life was turned right side up.."
ReplyDeleteit explains it perfectly
I remember the day and getting the call. The joy, the tears, reminder of just how BIG our God is, amazing.
ReplyDeleteThis has been an absolutely beautiful story. I have enjoyed following along, you are a very eloquent writer and I can't wait to see pictures of those big brown eyes!
ReplyDeleteSo small confession, I was reading your blog since I was pregnant, my son was born in August after you brought Ty home, and in my crazy post-partum state I kept calling my son "Ty" on accident because they looked so much alike! I did that for like two weeks!
Anyways, they look much different now but I laughed when I saw this picture you posted because my son has this same outfit and just wore it yesterday! lol
God has truly blessed all of you!!! Ty is the cutest baby boy ever!!! =)
ReplyDeleteSo very Blessed to be a part of this story - even if my part is just reading along and crying and crashing baby showers!
ReplyDeleteWow! I read your original call story and somewhere in there my heart melted. I remember when you called me and I could not imagine the happiness he would bring. How could anyone imagine that?
