But...
...this time it will not be for 2 years.
Nope.
It will be shorter.
Shorter?
That's right.
'Cause this time we have some very important business to attend to.

ReplyDeleteI cannot tell you how happy I am to see this! My name is Sarah, and I am the social worker that first asked Kelly to advocate for this special boy.

ReplyDeleteI am so beyond thrilled for your family and this angel of our heart and prayers!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy for little Bo. I prayed and prayed for his folks to find him. God even woke me up to urge me on t times. And here you all are! Our youngest came to us specifically through the prayers of others who believed for him and perhaps that is why God allowed me to help "pay it forward" in some small way. So excited to congratulate you all on your blog via Kelly's.
