Happy Birthday Meron!



Today is Meron's birthday. What a blessing she has been! She is jabbering dada, mama and HI! She's also pulling herself up and walking around furniture and getting into EVERYTHING! She is such a happy girl and brings such joy to our family. We feel extremely blessed and humbled that the Lord chose us to be her family. And though this is such an exciting day for us, my heart keeps going to her birth parents, and the anguish they may be feeling. It was one year ago today that a woman halfway across the world gave birth to this precious little girl and for reasons we will never know was not able to raise her. I have no doubt that she loved Meron deeply and giving her up had to be unbearable. So today as we celebrate this special little girl, we pray that the Lord will give her birth parents a sense of peace and know that their baby girl is well, happy and loved by a family that is truly blessed to have her in our lives.
