Yesterday marked a week since we've had custody of Sam, and tomorrow will mark a week since we've been home. It's incredible to look back over just a week and see how far we've come since that first day! He is adjusting really well, and we attribute it all to God hearing our prayer to prepare his heart to attach with ours.
We are enjoying every single minute with him and are loving life with our sweet boy. It's been so fun to watch his personality come out because there's never a dull moment with him around :). Our hearts melt, and we turn to goo when he holds out his little arms for a family hug. And, I'm usually rendered speechless when I feel that tiny little hand patting me on the back as I hold him and hear him saying, "Mama, Mama."
We waited for 21 long months to hear his voice, feel the weight of him in our arms, and to experience those things in life reserved only for parents. It's those 21 months that make our time with Sam all the more precious and dear to us.
"Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows." James 1:17
