  21. beautiful boy! we're setting off on our own adoption journey very soon, and it's so encouraging to hear from someone at the end of the road!

  22. I am so happy for you two. I've been anxiously awaiting this day since I started following your blog in January. It's been encouraging to watch you both near the end of the adoption process while we're at the beginning. It's a great encouragement to those of us still starting out. THIS is what all the paperwork, tears, and prayers are for. THIS moment. God is so good - and I am thanking Him repeatedly today for bringing you three together as a family. What a beautiful blessing!!

  32. Oh Will and Bekah!!!! We could NOT be happier for you if it was our own son. We have tears of joy with you...what an awesome picture of God's great hand of redemption! I have been praying for you all week that the wounds of his heart would be discovered and mended in this awesome bonding experience this week. Praying big things for Israel!!! Love you all.

  33. Rebekah - your blog was one of the first I came across when I started my adoption journey. We are both with the same agency so I have followed you for two years - and weathered some of the changes in the program alongside you. When you got your referral I was overjoyed for you. And now seeing these pictures of you and your son it is evident that God meant for you to be this child's mother. He is a beautiful happy baby. You glow when you hold him. And you are going to be an incredible mom. I am so happy for you and Will. God has blessed you with Israel
