he's been growing in our hearts ever since. There are always multiple dates that will be remembered with adoptions, but this is a special one. The other dates of when we decided to adopt, or when we finished our forest of paperwork are all part of his story................but May 1 is when he came alive to us. We had actually recieved our referral on April 22..............and as I think about it all and remember it.................it's all a very special time. For us, it took time to bond............it wasn't a 'one look and was bonded' experience........that first week God came very much alive to us and I will never forget that. It will forever be part of our faith walk how God directly answered us and made it clear his steps in our life. It was very clear that Manual was going to fit perfectly in our family. But as soon as we accepted on May 1, it was like a door swung open and he has had a place in our hearts ever since. That place keeps growing and growing. I'll never forget the time we were able to spend with him in Oct. He's everything I could have hoped for and more. I can't wait til he joins us forever. I can't wait to do life with him. I would have never believed it before........................but it's possible to have a love for a child that we've really once spent a short time with. Yes it is possible to love him already and have a bond already........we already consider ourselves a family of 5. oh.............to be able to see him and hold him............we're ready for you Aidan............we're waiting for you!!!!............We love you!!!!
