On Monday, I got to share in a moment that was truly awesome, amazing, inspiring, overwhelming...priceless. I would not have missed it for the world. If you don't know, my brother and sister-in-law's son from the Congo is finally home! He is almost 8 months old and he is beautiful, snuggly, happy...perfect.
I will never forget the sight of my brother and sister-in-law wrapping their arms around Amaziah, covering him with kisses and tears. And what did he do? He snuggled right in. He wrapped his arms around my sister-in-law, laid his head on her chest and cuddled. Truly Amazing.
Of course, I was a sobbing mess. It was such a beautiful sight. My brother and sister-in-law have waited to have a baby for so long...and now God has blessed them with this loving, beautiful, amazing little boy. I don't think anyone expected the bonding to be so instantaneous. Before Amaziah was carried down the corridor, my brother had told his wife "now, remember, he might be screaming, crying, but that's ok..." Well, that wasn't the case at all! He was so loving! And when my sister-in-law's dad started talking to Amaziah, he just started grinning!! And then he was just all smiles!
The joy that filled that airport terminal was indescribable. They have their baby...their son is finally home!!!
Praise God.
Congratulations to Jason, Kendra, and Amaziah. Our family is forever blessed.

This was so wonderful to read (even if it left me sobbing lol). Praise God for bringing them together! It took us 3.5 years to conceive and while I know that many people go through much worse and longer waits I know the feeling of wanting a child more than anything and also the feeling of having that dream come true. I am so happy for them and I will keep them in my prayers. He is beautiful and they make a lovely family!
What an amazing moment. I'm so thankful that you captured it, and that you shared it with us!
Amazing! God is wonderful! So happy for them and pass along a big congrats from the bloggy world!
So sweet! Thanks for sharing. :)
Aww! I'm so happy for them! He's such a cutie. Your bro and sil must be so excited and happy!
So wonderful, I'm in tears!!
Thanks for sharing such a wonderfull moment.
I am so thrilled for your family. I know I don't know you, but I have followed Fluff Baby Home since day 1.I have followed on Facebook and have said hundreds of prayers, and it literally made me weep with joy when I saw your post on Facebook. My husband laughed at me, and said "You don't even KNOW these people, and you're crying?!" But we tried for years before we got our babies, and even looked into adoption right around the time we got pregnant with our daughter, so this hit close to home for me. He is a beautiful child, and he looks like he will bring constant joy and hope to everyone around him! Congrats to all of you!

Thanks for sharing. Definitely a blessing. There are so many babies in this world who need a loving home, I'm glad your brother and sister-in-law were open to this experience.
