I had the pleasure of spending most of the summer with an adoptive family from Georgia. The Anderson Family has been connected with For His Children for quite some time. They have four biological children. 10 years ago, they adopted a little girl from For His Children who is legally blind. After the oldest daughter came down to volunteer at FHC a couple years ago, God spoke to her about adopting one of our girls. After many miraculous events, the family started the process to adopt two of our children with special needs, Daniela and Leslie. They arrived in June and I was able to be present when they first met their girls – what an incredible event. These two girls have been waiting quite some time for a forever family. This family has been such a source of encouragement to me this summer. They have shown me what it truly means to obey God’s call. This was also a “first” for me that I got to spend so much time with a family while they were finalizing the legal process. They lived right down the street from For His Children so I got to see them most every day. We spent time at the park together, eating dinners together, and we enjoyed praying and fellowshipping with/for each other. This past Thursday, they were able to fly home. The girls are doing so well and I stand amazed at how God has chosen just the right family for them. Congratulations Anderson Family!
