4 months ago none of us knew she existed.
but one mid-september day the jaundiced baby girl with big round eyes caught my attention.
various chinese doctors said she wouldn't live very long.
we advocated for her nonetheless.
a family stepped out in faith to call her their own.
everyone worked hard and fast(!) on paperwork (family, adoption agency, orphanage, etc.).
god knocked our socks off by raising her adoption expenses in a matter of days.
more paperwork was completed.
lots of people prayed.
god moved mountains!
and a few hours ago, i had the awesome privilege of handing brooklyn over to her parents!!
and by tomorrow/tuesday morning (china time), when i'm boarding my plane to come home,
it'll be official: she'll no longer be an orphan!
it was definitely a pretty sweet way to end this 4-month stint in china.
and a forever reminder that if something is god's will, nothing can stop it from happening.
join me in praising god for what he's done; all glory to him alone!
and let's keep praying for sweet brooklyn...
-for her to easily and quickly feel safe and loved by her forever family
-for her health to hold steady until she's back in the states
-for her future liver transplant
