When God first put it on our hearts to adopt Yu Min, all we had were some pictures and a medical report. The pictures were adorable, but they were void of personality. The medical reports were overwhelming, but God gave us a peace to accept them, knowing that He had called us specifically to her. So we went to the other side of the world to bring home a "little" one we did not know, with medical needs we knew very little about. Seems crazy, crazy to be called to a person you do not know; crazy to take on medical conditions that are beyond us. However, there was that peace and that knowing that this was what God was calling us to do.
It didn't matter that we didn't know, because God did. He knew this little one by name. He knew her personality and her every need. He knew her need for a family and for incredible medical treatment. Just as important, God knew our need for her. Yes, not only did Yu Min need us, our family needed her. Our family is more fun, more enjoyable, and fuller because of Yu Min being in it.
Praise the Lord Yu Min is so much more than just a pretty face on a picture. She is so much more than just a medical report. Yu Min is a precious young lady who is full of life and giggles. She is a gift and treasure to our entire family. We would not trade her for an easier life or less hassles. She is worth all that it takes to keep her healthy and healing. She is such a gift, She is our daughter.
We are so thankful to all who have given to our adoption, We had no funds to begin or complete this adoption, but God did. He has used family, friends, and several grants to make this adoption possible. Thank you, A Child Waits Foundation and donors, for being part of our fourth adoption journey.
