This is Alex. We met Alex and his parents while we were in Ust Kamenogorsk adopting our daughter. Alex was in the same baby house as Leah ,so we saw him everyday also while we were visiting . Alex has an infectious smile and is so full of life.
His adoption story is also one filled with miracles. I have come to realize with each child and parent I meet that God truly has called us all by name, and thru International Adoption his plan is perfectly executed. Many of us begin our journey with our own dreams, desires and possibly photo referrals in hand. Somewhere along the journey of documents,expiration dates and travel plans Gods presence is palpable and his plan is revealed. Alex's family opened their hearts to that leap of faith required for Gods plan. After many twists and turns and a harrowing ride on that emotional roller coaster called International Adoption Alex's, Angie and Rory's miracle took place. God created another forever family. We were honored to have a front row seat to their miracle and we will never forget the experiences we shared with this lovely family.
It was with great anticipation that we were reunited with Angie,Rory and Alex at Leah's baptism. We were so touched they took the time out of their, I am sure busy lives to share Leah's special day.
We are now also honored to be included in Alex's special day. Alex will be baptised this Saturday. We are excited about meeting his extended family and also having them meet Leah. We pray we will be able to continue this bond Alex and Leah share.
This is a picture of Alma ( our wonderful coordinator in Ust Kamenogorsk) Alex and Leah. When we travelled to take custody of Leah we knew Alex would be going home just 2 short weeks later so we asked Alma if we could bring Alex a toy his parents sent to remind him they were coming to get him. It was a wonderful meeting and I believe Alex understood what Alma told him.
