Thinking About This Little Guy

So I haven't really told a lot of people about this yet and I have really been thinking alot about this little guy. I would like everyone to meet Juvens (pronounced Jayvens) he is 4 years old his birthday is 05/07/2007 and he is our son!! We had always said we wanted to adopt 2 children from Haiti. This is what we felt god wanted us to do. We had always thought that it would be 2 girls since we already had 2 boys! Well we were a little off on this.. You see while we were in Haiti in August we met this little boy Juvens at the orphanage while we were there having lunch after church on Sunday. Juvens snuck upstairs with Kelly one of the other little boys. He came over to us and starting playing with Derline and we said hello and ask him his name and how old he was... This was pretty much it. We had only been in Haiti a day and were still in shock by what we were seeing and experiencing. Skip ahead to Friday Zach said to me that he really thought we should ask Chris about little boys that still needed a forever family... For Zach to say this to me it was huge I knew he had always been on board with the adoption but this was what he was feeling and I knew it was god talking to us. Later that day we talked with Jan and Angie about us wanting to adopt another and we were now kind of thinking boy.. Well they began saying some boy names to us and then Angie pulled this picture of this cute little boy up on the HIS Home Sponsorship Page and said this is Juvens. We immediately got chills because this was the little boy who had come up to us while at the Orphanage! How much clearer was that!! Well we decided that we needed to find out more about him, we needed to pray about it and we needed to talk to our boys about it. We found our that Juvens has been at the orphanage since he was 1 he is a very sweet and outgoing little boy and he just keeps getting looked over... After coming home and talking with the boys and getting the ok from both of them and praying about this we really feel that this is gods plan for us and its just amazing how he made all of this work and come together!! We are so excited to visit Haiti again in November and get to love on both Derline and Juvens!! Kaden is excited to have another brother and Wesley is excited to have a buddy that is his age and will be in the same grade as him and get to share a room!!

God is truly amazing and we are so thrilled to be on this journey with him!
